okay so while I dearly love Ruby Dixon's writing . . . there's not the HEFT to the story that this series has

also it's not as long smutty scenes focusing more on the rescue and their growing relationship vs bangarang time because they must

idk it just feels a little more realistic than IPB???

ayyyy we love explicit consent

the world-building in here is nice bc there's more than just two perspectives of the main couple

oop okay glad they didn't go through with the attack

the girls in this book are much more tougher and gritty than the IPB ladies (who I still love) but I think I prefer these type of girls a little more

really need to start reading some more BOOKS beyond my fav binge streak of alien smut kindle books . . .

oop another race of "protect and cherish females in our barbarian way" alien males . . .

what in the randomness was that sex dream doing here??

I'll say one this book has that most of them don't: more than halfway decent writing

I stg need me some skinny alien bois to balance out the HEFT and the BEEF and the MOSCLE most of them seem to have??? body diversity ain't just a thing on Earth I'm sure of it

exposing myself here I guess but idc this is such a good series

and now back to my regular alien smut bs

not me wanting her parents story more than hers

schwab certainly knows how to write unsettling characters and scenarios

oh finally a plot

I wonder if this ARC is incomplete bc the page numbers don't add up . . .

the suspense is building but towards what idk

vibes are more Crimson Peak right now than Secret Garden

this time it's sand barbarians

this entire book barely makes sense and hardly cohesive but I'm still reading bc I'm self-destructive like that

bestie you throwing a baseball rock doesn't kill a murder pig that's false news

bruh he just killed the most interesting character wtf

the illustrations in here are absolutely LOVELY

I am delightfully confused

from the Author's Note: 'An iron gate set into a garden wall. A threshold between one world and another. Between here and there. The kind of door you're not supposed to open, which is, of course, my favorite kind.'

once more Schwab has her writing wrapped around my throat and I'm ready to die happy

yes I am dropping everything to read this

so these guys growl, hiss, and hoot?? sound more like monkeys than snakes to me

'bereft, lusty, and angry'

found the theme of the book

right we doing this now

thank God there's a new Icehome in less than 2 weeks
