If your looking for smut, this is it. I am a bit disappointed personally though. Mono-normative soul mate narratives that center on breeding put me off. I also don't love "it was the biggest one I'd ever seen" as a trope. There is some interesting world building and our main character Georgie feels like a real person, mostly. I can see why people love this series but I won't read more.

Entertaining and short. The world building was definitely there, but the length of the book was short because it touched but didn't delve into some topics that would make the book a lot darker - like Georgie's worry about the family and friends she left behind, or thoughts of returning home. 

CW/TW: the rape scene is in the beginning, was easy to skip over, and then was only mentioned a few times. This topic was not written about in depth after it occurred on page.

gisellefonseca's review

fast-paced

3.0

review is based on the digital version + the honeymoon short story bc i was not about to buy the actual book

not only was this just the author projecting her monsterfucker fantasy onto these characters, but it contained a very stereotypical kidnapping by green aliens, quite a bit of sexual assault and borderline cnc, falling for each other in less than three days, unintentionally baby trapping(?), a really cheap cop out of a language barrier, entirely too many star wars references, a variety of phrases i did not want to read, and mediocre smut. also his skin feels like suede ?? i have not been able to move past that. 

also, the epilogue felt weirdly out of character. miss maam barely cared about the girls when they initially died and suddenly she has survivors guilt ?? would’ve been a better plot point had it been in the actual book. 

unfortunately, i will be reading the rest of them.

This book needs to be longer, but this series is 21 books deep so I'll let that go. 
Also, this book contains topics that I'm not comfortable reading so that's why it's marked lower.
But Georgie is great and Vektal is a cinnamon roll.  Will be continuing the series!
