Blurb:Love will capture its prey, especially on a Predator Planet.
Esra Weaver, exo-geologist, is hired for the Kerberos-90 Mining expedition, but when she awakens in her Emergency Egress Pod on a tropical, uninhabited planet, she realizes her life has taken a drastic turn for the disastrous. ‘Predator Planet’ tries to kill her at every turn, and Esra soon discovers it also harbors a mysterious alien out for her blood. When danger and death converge on her, her hunter becomes her savior, and when her feelings for him evolve, she realizes she must battle not only Predator Planet but also her past to make room in her heart for an unexpected but passionate future.
Naraxthel Roika, Mighty Hunter of the Ikthekal race, discovers the existence of a spy on his hunting grounds planet. With blood and fury in his veins, he tracks her down, only to discover that she isn’t a spy at all, but a mighty little hunter in her own right. Against centuries of tradition and physiology, Naraxthel’s heart-home begins the biological changes that indicate he has discovered his mate. He tries to fight what his heart is trying to tell him, but love doesn’t distinguish between star systems and it won’t stop growing, even if the consequence is exile.
Together, along with Naraxthel’s hunting party, they must embark on a dangerous and desperate journey to reclaim not only Naraxthel’s place in his society but also find a way for them to be together.
Dudes! So it took me a while to get to this one but I’m glad I decided to give it a go. I couldn’t put this down. There was action, tribal politics, court intrigue, questioning of faith, romance and two very capable MC’s who weren’t afraid to fight for what they felt the deserved and rebel against the matriarchy. Gah, it was awesome.
I loved the snarkiness of the Esra when she realized she was on a planet that was trying to kill her at every turn. And those were some awesome adventures. The cow-hippos are my favorite with the sister spiders a close second. The tech was a nice touch and the computer seemed to evolve and give back snarkiness at just the right times.
Red (his alien name is too hard to remember) was super awesome, he wanted to protect her while at the same time not control her, which I wasn’t expecting since he was such a capable violent warrior himself. I wish we would have got a little more interaction within his team and him but I’m thinking we will get to know them as the series progresses. I enjoyed how he questioned his matriarchy and wasn’t afraid to risk punishment for not bowing down before the sisters. Her parallel struggles between this world and earth were very nicely done and clear to understand. I can’t wait to read the next one!
