This is a fantastic story belonging to the alien/monster romance genre so be warned people - the main protagonist is truly alien. None of that winged dragon shifter nonsense.
What I loved most about this story was the slow pace of the book. The relationship is not rushed, Ivy and Ketahn are allowed time to get used to each other’s differences, to learn each other’s language and develop a strong bond which allows them to look beyond the alien features and to see the person within. Also the glimpses that we were shown of the matriarchal society of Ketahn’s race, the vrix, added depth and additional tension to the story.
The only reason why I haven’t given it full 5 stars is the open ending which is picked up immediately in Book 2, but I’m generally not a fan of cliff-hangers.
Apart from that - a great book in the genre.
