Havoc
by Stella Frost
adventurous
fast-paced
3.75 ⭐
✅enemies to lovers
✅fated mates
✅outlaw hero
✅found families
I was pleasantly surprised by this one! I love when an alien series doesn't necessarily begin with an abduction and existential crisis.... It's just nice sometimes when the humans already have a semblance of understanding about the wider universe. And I am a sucker for MCs that are considered outcasts or dangerous in their societies but wind up being the honorable/reluctant heroes.
My only complaint, and it's probably super nitpicky, is sometimes the setting felt a little uninspired. There were just a lot of instances where minor things were so human and it would have been cool to flesh out some of it to be more alien.
Which is not to say all of the details were bad because there was some fabulous worldbuilding regarding the Zathari belief systems and star-bonded mates.
And I am super intrigued by the rest of Havoc's brothers and what their stories will entail. Will definitely be continuing the series!
TWs (taken from authors website): explicit sex, BDSM, sexual assault (implied or off-page, perpetrated by antagonist), captivity/imprisonment, trafficking/slavery (implied/threatened by other character), violence, abuse (off-page, perpetrated by antagonist), parental abandonment (hero and heroine)
