A fast paced fun read with a lot of my favourites things from aliens, space, mpreg and omegas whats not to love. This book is primarily an introduction to the world, universe and the concept which is fascinating. I adore Rourke so much and I'm interested to see what happens next, Zachri seems interesting as well and with where things ended im curious to see the future development of their relationship. Going to start the next part straight away!
Review for all 4. Grabbed this as a freebie and it had some interesting ideas but didn’t stick the landing for me. Quite a few editing issues had me rereading some sentences which was distracting.
Background
Alpha alien overlords had taken over earth to improve things due to a protective nature and the power of deadly telekinesis and advanced technology, and undid climate change and things like that. Basically seemed to reference that whole totalitarian Superman thing of taking over earth to stop us from hurting each other with free will. It references Superman a few times so this may have been the inspiration. But also they emit a bunch of horny pheromones and susceptible humans are basically alien roofied which was NOT GOOD. Humans rebel, chase aliens to the moon.
Aliens have traveled very far to find a species that can be genetically and medically modified to become omegas and now basically buy them at auction (people offer themselves up willingly if they like space or want money) so that people can be modified to get alien preggers.
Unfortunately, a lot of worldbuilding is left incomplete beyond that basic premise and all the humans hating anyone who does the space baby procedure. MC is a bland sadboi who tries to game the system and eventually falls in love with a kind but overbearing alpha alien dude. Nothing is thrilling or intriguing or spicy etc. there’s a lot of family drama of his bestie and family on hating him and treating him bad via the internet.

I absolutely love, love, love this author’s Pykh series and thought I would explore some of her other works while waiting for the next ‘space cats’ book. This is the first installment of a serial, so it is quite short and mostly provides some world building and an intro to our human MC, Rourke. We also get an explanation of the Omega Society and some backstory about the aliens and how they feel about human omegas (male baby makers). We also get an all too brief glimpse at our alien MC, Zachri. This installment ends before everything really gets going, but it did the job of getting me invested in what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading the next 3 episodes.

This book totally caught me off guard, in the best way possible! Seriously, I couldn't put it down. It's one of those reads where you're so engrossed in the story that you barely notice the time passing. In this part the author focused on the preparation, initial struggle and arrival, kept me hooked from beginning to end.
What I loved most was the protagonist's unwavering dedication to his mother. He's not just talk—he actually follows through with everything he says/wants to do, no matter how tough things get. That level of commitment was nice to see. Characters often aren’t tough enough for that level of self sacrificing which makes them less believable.
I really enjoyed world-building in this book. The author did a great job creating a place that felt real and interesting. The side characters were also really nice—they added a lot of fun to the story.
I also appreciated that there wasn't any smut in this part of the book. It was nice to focus on the story and characters without any distractions.
Now that I've finished this book, I'm already itching for the next one. I can't wait to see where the story goes from here!

I very rarely write a negative review for a book. The problem with this book is the length, it is well written, however it is not a book. This is may be a fourth of a book that never actually manages to move forward enough to reach any kind of climax.
I suspect it was simply chopped up in order to sell more books.

this was interesting but I have to say the ending was abrupt. It seems like this will be one of those books chopped up. I prefer to pay a bit more for a whole book than a little bit at a time for an abrupt ending piece. But ending aside the premise was intriguing. Although I wished this book was flushed out a bit more so that way we got some back story about the alien-human wars and the building of their city on the moon. The characters are interesting and I have to say that I agree with Rourke's decision to sell himself to save his mother. I would have done the same thing. Pride be damned. I just hope it leads to a happily ever after for everyone involved.
The whole series should be combined into one book. Each book isn’t its own story with a full narrative arc
Good beginning
I knew this was a serial going in, so wasn’t upset by the abrupt end. I liked the setup and what we’ve seen so far and am looking forward to the next instalment.
