When the baddy of the last book becomes the love interest of this book and it’s so amaze-balls that it starts it’s own spin-off series? Yes. Directly into my veins, please.

These. Freaking. Characters. 

The way that this author writes aliens has ruined me for all other alien romances. These guys are ALIENS. And this author never lets you forget it—no, that’s not true, she lets you forget it and then she smacks you across the face with how completely weird these aliens are. Their minds just work in completely different ways and it puts me on the edge of my seat. 

And this alien hero was just.. ugh 🥹🥹🥹 He was kinda a baddy? But such a goody? Definitely some intense assassin/stalker vibes but also so sweet? It’s hard to explain, you just have to read it! 😅

And then our heroine felt so real I feel like I know her—I’ve now mentally added her to the irl members of my acquaintance. Yes, the concept of her character was cool (she spoke Jamaican Patois and braiding hair fulfilled her both socially and creatively). But.. how can I explain? She wasn’t a one-note character—she wasn’t even a few-notes character. She was a fully realized person… it was kinda spooky tbh.

And these two were so compatible. So many little things about their personalities, lived experience, and interactions were plugging into each other. And my heart was exploding 🥰

I’m so excited for this spin-off of the main series!
