A review by geo_ix
Grabbed by Vicious by Lolita Lopez

3.0

3.5 stars

Firstly I would like to point out how bullshit it is that I had to *ahem* find other means to download this book. This isn’t available on AU Amazon! What the fucking hell! That’s actually bullshit. I’m so disappointed and a little pissy to be honest. I’m slightly understanding because of the clear issues this writer had with Ellora’s Cave, but I still don’t understand why it’s not available for me to purchase in my country two years after publication….

Moving on. I won’t be reading any more of these until another book is published (if that happens) because I don’t want to get more invested in what was actually not a bad concept, and loving even more characters than I already did, because I just don’t think I’ll be able to handle it if I do and nothing happens from here.

Basically, this town Hallie lives in has signed a treaty with Vicious’ people and they have a ‘grabbing’ event where the women have to sign up to be taken as these peoples sex slaves kind of… It’s hard to explain really, but these alien warriors are all dominant and stuff and highly into BDSM, some more than others. There was even some very different stuff like making their women dress up and act like cats, which made me a little squeamish but I enjoyed the difference in sexual tastes that it showed. Usually these books are all the same and don’t show many different ideas of fetishes, but this went into some stuff that made the experience individual and for that I’m thankful. Hopefully this series does continue, because I did enjoy this book, just maybe not so much the writing style or the main female character to be honest. But that was personal. I also took stars off for the price, because that’s ridiculous, especially for AmazonUS when it’s the cheapest! (Stars taken off for not being on AmazonAU, the cover, and dislike of Hallie, also that it was very, very fast paced and a lot of drama)
