Blurb:When I wake up on the ice planet, I’m scared of everything: this place is cold, silent, and the locals look more like blue devils than aliens. To make matters worse, one of the strangers decides I’m going to be his girlfriend and kidnaps me away from my sister. I’m completely and utterly alone. What’s a girl to do?
Well, this girl escapes.
Of course, that means I go from frying pan into the fire, and my situation gets even more dangerous. Just when I have no hope left, a new hero appears. Sure, he’s blue, horned, and has a tail. He’s also fierce, protective, makes me purr... and thinks I'm perfect.
But is what we have real or just a mating instinct?
I was wondering what was going to happen when all the chics got boo’d up. Introduce more chics of course! By now we know the blue dudes like to have their alone time with their intended and maybe even not so intended. So Lila and Maddie are two of my favorite characters and I really liked their stories. For one, they are sisters which is a first. For another, they are opposites. While Maddie is amazonian and out spoken, her sister is petite and deaf so Maddie usually speaks on her behalf.
So when Lila gets kidnapped by a desperate blue dude (this offense is punishable by exile btw) She has no way of communicating. So she escapes. And low and behold is rescued by a cool blue dude named Rokan, who happens to have a bit of ESP. He can ‘sense’ when something is going to happen. Whether or not it is good or bad, he can’t really say until it’s happeneing. I liked how they overcame the communication barrier. And the world building while pretty deeply established by now had some new life breathed into it due to the wild (or not so wild) animals that were a nice addition to the story. We see a lot of new pieces of this world getting discovered as the blue dudes are made aware of more modern tech thanks to the humans. The evolution of this world is really entertaining.
Maddie goes wild with worry for her missing sister. And we see just how different in personality they are. I love the way everyone didn’t make a big deal out of Lila being deaf. They made it work, although on a non-industrialized planet with cavemen like tools in a perpetual winter, I don’t see how you would really have any other choice. LOL
