I’m all for a fun, unserious alien romance but there was a lot going on here, none of which ended up being appealing. There was a vampire dentist, plus a griffin shifter and a bear shifter…one of which baked pastries. I had to check that I picked up an alien sci-fi romance—yep it says so right on the cover. It all felt rather chaotic and that’s without the addition of the Colony, clearly immediately suspect, and what’s going on with the female characters. This book forced me to set aside far too many of my criteria to continue.
