The Alien's Bite by Ella Blake
3.0
While I did enjoy the story, there were a few hiccups.
I’m a big fan of this author’s writing style and enjoyed that the most in this book. She very good as describing things and making me feel like I’m really there in that world and in that moment with the characters. I was also glad to see that the characters were written all distinctively and their different personalities were shown, making me feel like I really knew the characters. The action was handled well and was frequent enough that I felt we were always moving forward but with enough reprieved to have time with the characters just interacting.
What was lacking for me was mostly in the romance area, the spice specifically. Before having sex for the first time they really should have at least talked about their expectations for their relationship, and the fact that they couldn’t really express their feelings was a turn off for me. They do end up having the conversation after that, but it was a little too late for me. Their devotion to each other was very sweet.
All in all it’s worth it, especially for the fun characters and interesting setting and plot. Maybe in the next few books I’ll appreciate the romance more.
