I knew these two would end up together from the first mention of their hate for each other in the first book. 😂 This book also furthers the greater story so it was a lot of find to explore the planet a bit more and let the greater plot take more shape. 🙌

listened to audiobook and it's very blah at this point with the same voices.

as usual an interesting pairing is made boring the moment they're the main characters of the book. josie is incredibly selfish and no one seems to check her on it which is mindbogglingly STUPID.

endangering people's lives to hunt another sakotsk to get her a new khui...? girl im gonna attack you myself.

theres an interesting plot but instead of exploring it we get chapters and chapters of the same played out miscommunication romance plot.

I'm gonna be honest. I can't remember if I finished this book last night or mid day today or... actually that might sound right? I don't even know. I'm genuinely reading these books too quickly to keep up lol but I did like Josie and how she and her mate have both lived hard lives and managed to overcome their miscommunication long enough to realize that they were a good match. Also, wow, two more females? I wonder if they are gonna figure out a way to start tracking down these aliens and stop this trafficking bullshit.
