Hunted by Vhaz

Alien Mate Hunt #3

by Zara Crowe

Run. Rage. Surrender—because in the Mate Hunt, the serpent always coils tightest.

Framed for terrorism, they gave me two execution, or thirty days as alien prey.
I chose the Hunt.

Now I’m drugged, dropped on a swamp world, and forced to run from a serpentine predator who wants to make me his.

Vhaz is thirty feet of scaled muscle—venomous fangs, coiled strength, golden eyes that never lose me. He tastes my fury in the air. Tracks my rage through his toxic paradise. Finds me fascinating when I tell him exactly where he can shove his help.

But every trap snaps tighter.
Every bite leaves me weaker.
Every time his coils close, my body betrays me more.

I swore I’d never surrender.
So why does being caught by this serpent feel like exactly where I belong?

A scorching sci-fi romance featuring venom kisses, primal coils, and a heroine whose sharp tongue can’t hide the moment her body chooses her mate.

[Rachael]

Smexy storyline and banter bw MCs was funny, but lots of repetitive phrasing and inconsistencies.

[Helena · Rating 3 out of 5]

a good premise but kind of repetitive in the phrasing and dialogue. not much romance at all and you better really love egg implantation play or this borders on body horror at times.

[Katiana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Still has continuity issues that I have come to know this author for, but I really like the sass in this one. The banter is quick and piercing and appeals to my “heckling as a love language” self.
