Beast by Anna Hackett
4.0
Just shut your brain off and enjoy the steamy,fluffy, action packed alien ride. This was the first book I’ve read out of the series and I didn’t have any problems reading it as a stand-alone. I’m assuming the other characters were from previous books and there seemed to be a set up for characters that will most likely have their own stories in future books. I’m sure you will probably get a lot more out of the story reading the previous books so keep that in mind if you’re looking for something more immersive.
This story isn’t as detailed or as intense as the stories I’m used to reading but I was in a book slump and just looking for something lighthearted and breezy to get into. This hit the spot for what I was looking for. Not angsty, drama is from outside the relationship and all the characters seem pretty competent in their own right. There’s also a nice use of music in the story ~
*Spoilers *
This story focuses on Mia and Vek. It seems like she’s the only one that can calm down his rage so they are already somewhat together from the start of the book. There’s no cheating, no drama, they’re all for each other 100% of the time. There’s a lot of consent throughout the steamy bits ( lots of steamy bits) and by the end they definitely make their relationship more concrete and get a HAE.
Checks all my boxes.
