I thought the concept of this was very interesting. It is such a cool idea that I feel like could have been expanded on some more, but overall I really enjoyed it. The art was cute, I would definitely read more from this author. A very quick read as well.
My only thing is I don’t think the sexual scene was necessary to the story. After reading I saw it was marked as an erotic thriller. Not quite sure what that is, but I could have gone without the one sexy scene and just kept this as a thriller. Since the plot foundation is so strong, the grounds to make this an epic thriller/sci-fi are set. I am not against romantic thrillers (love them infact). I think you can do both well, just not sure this did it.
