This was very enjoyable, overall fun read. The first chapter is the darkest, worst one (content warning for that one) but once we meet Vektal, it gets better. Basics: women are kidnapped from Earth & crash onto an alien ice planet they call Not-Hoth. Georgie is made the leader of the humans & meets Vektal. He is the sweetest, most caring blue horned alien. Looking forward to the second book.
Graphic: Sexual content
Minor: Death, Rape, Suicide attempt, Trafficking, Suicide, Pregnancy, Sexual violence, Miscarriage, and Kidnapping
This special edition moves the rape from on-screen to off-screen. From the author's note, I guessing older editions had it more prevalent so if you want to avoid most of it this is the better edition or skim/skip mid page 12 over to bottom of 13.
