I don't really buy the space vampire bone bug giant man as a love interest.

A new alien has entered the chat. This one seems to have a lot less physical description other than 'he tall'

I dislike that his morphology is changing to be more human. I want the aliens to be truly alien, not the forehead alien variety. I also dislike the messaging that one needs to be physically perfect to be worthy of love.

Wow, no backtracking or recaps, just dives right in. I respect that.

“But I’m refusing to interact with him and am being really unpleasant if we have to—why won’t he woo me?!”

*rubs temples and grumbles*

Oh, I dunno. Maybe when you give clear signals of disinterest, anyone who is respectful and can’t read your mind follows your lead. Yes means yes. No means no. Wild, that.

Aaaaaand....just as I was getting back into the story, another shot of ANGST came. "I'm going to hurt you for your own good," is one of the worst tropes ever. I can see why this isn't one of Trombley's more popular series.

Ugh. Was actually enjoying the first 35% of this, then angst for the sake of it struck— I'm so tempted to just DNF this bitch. I wanted a Lu'sian fix to see if any info was in here and what to possibly expect from an Ava story if she gets one in the other series. Realizing I like scifi & horror w/ romance elements, but not formulaic Romances. If I do, I prefer them to be comedic or specific tropes. Always low angst.
