I did not expect to love this as much as I did as sci-fi and aliens aren’t my reading usuals, but this was so much fun, sweet, hysterical at times, and just swoon worthy. Is it the absolute best story I’ve ever read? No. But it made me happy and smile.

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).

You know I really wanted to give it a fair shot but I couldn’t really get through the on page r@pe scene 20 minutes into the audiobook. I’m sure this is a book that can definitely work for some people! Especially if that’s something they can stomach or are able to skim over to get further into the book. It’s just not for me.

The content warnings were not sufficient for the first part of this book. Everyone has their own kinks but this is not how I want my smut to start.

CW for the first 40 pages: drugged, rape, abduction, excrement, violence, murder, blood, injury, trafficking, death, confinement

I absolutely loved everything about this book! I have never in my life. Read a book that was this short, but had this level of world building and character development. Plus, I haven't laughed that hard in such a long time.

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.
