He will do anything and everything in his power to not only keep Georgie safe but happy. Vektal on the other hand is a possessive lover, who knows Georgie to be his life-long mate the second he lays eyes on her. Although traumatised from her initial introduction to alien races upon her abduction onboard the spaceship, she warms up to her big blue attentive alien quickly, especially when he greets her with oral and orgasms.
Georgie was a feisty, reluctant human leader who took everything in her stride.
The characters themselves could have been fleshed out a little bit more, but they each have their own distinct personalities and voices, that it didn’t bother me too much. There is no excessive info-dumping, and the language barrier between the humans and the Sa-Khui aliens is cleverly dealt with. Her world-building is effortless, allowing the ready to see the world through our reluctant leader and main protagonist Georgie’s eyes. Her writing is easily accessible, humourous and so entertaining that it’s easy to find yourself quickly caught up in the characters and the strange world of the planet Not-Hoth. Ruby Dixon is without a doubt a natural-born storyteller.
If you are like me, and wary, I recommend downloading a sample of the book, putting any prejudices aside for the moment and giving it a go because I think you will find yourself pleasantly surprised. It’s just not something I’ve often been drawn to. I’m not really a sci-fi reader, on average picking up a sci-fi book maybe once every two years or so. So apart from the blue alien elephant in the room, I was unsure of this series, to begin with, because it’s science fiction. A couple of hours later, I’d finished book one and was downloading book two … and the rest they say is history. Flash forward to the end of January, I’m in isolation, locked down and in between books … the series is on KU, so I decided why not give it ago. Then a friend recommended it in December. I used to think I was in the former category myself, but as 2021 went on and more and more bloggers and booktubers that I followed devoured the series, I was vaguely intrigued. So let me start by saying, this series is NOT going to be for everyone. Because now, the aliens are having ship trouble, and they’ve left their cargo of human women – including me – on an ice planet.Īnd the only native inhabitant I’ve met? He’s big, horned, blue, and really, really has a thing for me… You’d think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me.
