I read this as something I’d seen all over TikTok thinking the writing was going to be as bad as most TikTok recs and to say I was pleasantly  surprised would be an understatement. The writing was so captivating, emotional, and still spicy yet you felt connected to the characters and their journey and felt so much of their pain

**Contains Spoilers**

I went into this book with absolutely no high expectations. I was right to not expect much from this book.

This book has an interesting concept. Abducted by alien, abandoned in a remote world, and courted by an unfamiliar species.

That concept was not executed well, at all. The book felt super rushed, and the world building is minimal. To be fair, the lack of world building probably helps with the plot, which is essentially just mature sexual themes.

The two main characters, Georgie and Vetkal, aren’t inherently dislikable. They just have absolutely no personality aside from their sexual prowess. 

Speaking of sexual aspects, for a book that mainly consists of said sexual themes, I’ve honestly read better. Even those spicy moments felt rushed and boring.

Also! I found nothing about this when researching the book, but it contains

sexual violence

.

So, if you are looking for an interesting plot and world, this isn’t the book to read. If you want something just to pass time and you enjoy reading smut, feel free to give it a try.

Alien sex...Hm...what more to say about this? Georgie is human from Earth with 14 other girls are abducted by little green men and abused by their bodyguards. The crash land in a cold harsh planet totally alone. On a scouting mission she's half dead but runs in Vektal. A seven foot blue muscular creature with a tail  whose way of greeting is oral sex. 

I didn't notice it before but these beings sound like the na'vi from Avatar, except these creatures live on a frozen planet...not a tropical moon. Still if you sci-fi erotica then give this one a shot. Who ever knew sci-fi erotica was a thing?
