I'm giving this an extra star because I did manage to finish it and I did laugh at certain times because of the WtFery, but mostly nope.

The mishmash of hero types and separateness of the two relationships made the overall story disjointed, in addition to strange.Īnd for goodness sake, if the basic obstacle was an inability to verbally communicate, how did it take three quarters of the book for Tara to start trying to draw pictures? Charades was clearly not working and she had access to a writing tool like less than a quarter of the way in. Between the legs and the penis, Tac was just a little (or alotta) bit out of my comfort zone.īeyond this, the story has a split personality - it was like two distinct and separate stories smushed together, with a real beta hero in Tac, who claims Tara first, and Brax, a caveman alpha hero who's actually the beta in the relationship and doesn't factor into the story until quite a few chapters in. Oh lord, don't get me started on the penis situation for Tac.

Did I mention the splotches of colors that appear and disappear at will? And secretes a toxin that can paralyze enemies. Seriously, I am used to some weird stuff in alien sci-fi, but I was NOT prepared for a hopping hero who chirrups. I've read about alien heroes with horns, scales, extra arms, every color of the rainbow skin tones, and even tails.

I struggled mightily with this one, mostly due to Tac, the Wanbaroo (or Kentaur as Tara called him or Kangataur as I called him in my head). Kangaroo heroes are my hard limit in an alien sci-fi rom.
