I'll be honest, I didn't finish this. I found it too frustrating. I felt like I was reading terrible fan fiction to be honest. How can someone be considered crazy for throwing stuff at the person who KIDNAPPED them days after they watched their friend murdered by an alien? Why does she care about Hunters erection when he is holding her down to the bed after kidnapping her? Because we can't even 20 pages into a New Adult novel without there being sexual tension apparently.
If it had built up the tension with the two coming to trust each other as they get to know each other then I would have been able to understand it. Probably would have even enjoyed it. Instead it's getting forced down my throat.
Also the main female character in this novel is exactly the same as in the LUX series, just 4 years older. I know they say to "write what you know" but if you want this book to stand out and feel like it's this world in an adult setting then you need to change as much as you can. It needs to stand out. This just doesn't do that.
Honestly, I was totally disappointed by this. The LUX series has become a guilty pleasure of mine because the world and alien stuff is interesting enough to pull me through. This novel was a chance to change that guilty pleasure into a love that I gush about to friends without shame. If there hadn't been such a strong focus on the relationship between the characters so quickly then that would have happened. I get there is a whole series where world building it happening but this book should have started with some of that. Serena should have learnt more about these alien races and whats going on with them before starting to comment on the size of Hunters penis.
This was a book that could have had so much potential and let me down. I guess I'll continue to hide the LUX series up the back of my bookshelf where noone can see it.
