I thought it was a super cute story. I’ve rarely read alien romance in which the FMC boldly volunteers to become a mate. They’re usually kidnapped or saved in some manner. Kim is very forward and determined to live her life out loud. The author could’ve done a better job of world building. Vori was somewhat anlready immersed into human culture although that wasn’t what was portrayed in the book. I don’t understand why Kim didn’t tell the guys her condition. The reasoning behind the assassination attempts wasn’t dumb but whomp whomp. It brought attention to the change needed in the world.

Some gramatical errors. The author switched between first and third person here and there. The timeline was also incorrect. In chapter 15, several lunar cycles had passed but in chapter 16, it said it had only been one lunar cycle.
