I liked this one even better than the first one! It did feel like the love story was a bit rushed and these books continue to feel too short. I’m hopeful that the novella helps with that as it did with the first one. 🙌 I keep being surprised by how much I like these books. It’s not my favorite of all time but it still has captured my attention enough I have to find out what happens next! 😂

Although I loved the premise, I really disliked Liz, the FMC. Yes, she can be relatable, and yes, you probably know a Liz in real life, but that does not mean I want to read about her. She: severly lacked empathy; ensured that if she was suffering, EVERYONE around her suffered as well; purposefully tried to destabilise the colony of the people helping her; and had extra loud sex when in public areas in the hopes others would leave them (including having to leave their own beds in the middle of the night).

Liz was so ridiculously unlikeable that she made Raahosh, who kidnapped her and is forceful with his sexual advances, look like a sweet angel. In his defence, I definitely did start to warm up to him by the 30% mark. But all-in-all, these two are the couple that make you think, "There really is someone for everyone."

I almost read this whole thing in one sitting! I'm so invested in this series and these characters. I loved how hard-headed both characters are and how they come together despite them both being stubborn asses. They're characters that you love on the page but would probably hate in real life (I know I probably wouldn't want to mess with Liz...)

Overall, if anyone liked the first book, definitely keep reading! This series doesn't disappoint.
