No era para mi este libro y por eso mi baja puntuación...
Es corto y lo acabé antes de darme cuenta, pero a la vez fue un DNF porque no leí las historias extras. De hecho iba a abandonar el libro al acabar el capítulo. Es como si hubiera ido a cortar con alguien y esa persona cortase antes conmigo.

He de decir que me reí bastante y que en general me parece una narración cargada de humor, pero a lo mejor solo lo estoy viendo yo...Pero es que había ciertas cosas que tenían que ser escritas para hacer gracia, a mi no me engañan:

"No era un monstruo que iba a comerme. Era este monstruo.
Que me lo ha comido."

Soy una persona diferente tras haber leído esas líneas. Me he quedado marcada de por vida y posiblemente haya muerto de risa y esté en el infierno (porque me lo merezco, no por otra cosa).

Aliens
Fancy 🍆
Mates
Language barrier 
 
Big blue dude essentially says “Hi, you’re my mate!” by putting his mouth on the FMC's 😼. I don’t have an issue with his greeting. I have an issue with the fact that she’s not really conscious and consenting. She could have been…boo.
 
40%…it’s not been a day. This book is moving fast.
 
Over all; this isn’t the worst thing I’ve ever read, I may even give the second book a go. But I can’t help but feel that the popularity of this book is mainly driven by people new to spicy books. I can’t help but feel like the novelty of spice and alien peen is the primary reason people are enamoured by this book.

Overall the book was meh. I enjoyed the more survival focused bits of the book and the communication barrier between the humans and the aliens.

The sex scenes were...not my cup of tea. They were very...you know when you are making fun of bad heterosexual erotica and how to guy has a 20ft dick and the woman orgasms in 2 seconds? That's what it seemed to be.

Also, I'm assuming this is a fault of the platform I listened to the audiobook (spotify) and not the actual book, but content warnings were not read. Which meant that in the first chunk of the book, I was suddenly thrust into a r*pe scene of a background character by, for lack of a better term, prison guard. I was not prepared AT ALL for that and although it didn't go into much detail--it was still a jarring scene to listen to when doing my dishes!

well, enjoying an alien romance was not on my bingo card for 2024 but here we are and i very much enjoyed it. don’t come for me for it, i am exploring my tastes and will delve deeper into unknown territories. Vektal in my eyes is just a big ol’ cinnamon roll & head-over-heels for Georgie and is that not want we all want in our romances (blue skin and weird armor aside)

the best thing about this book is that georgie and vektal were basically in love from day one and them calling each other my alien or my resonance had me giggling like a fool. it was cute, hilarious and quick, the head empty no thoughts kind of read I needed. will definitely be back for more in this series as i know the pairings of the humans and sakh will be comedy gold but the sweetest too.

side note georgie getting that khui = quesy 🤢

please please please if you read this check the tw/cw, they are at the start of the book and whilst i knew they were there i couldn’t be bothered to go back and check, one part in the first 10 pages did make me pause but i skipped it as soon as i got the gist and thankfully it didn’t last longer than 1 page.

For what it’s worth, blue aliens and all, this was mildly amusing and just a decent plot to follow. I didn’t take it too seriously but it was a nice read in between books!
