I don't really know how I feel about this book. The first half really gripped me. I was excited to see not only how Morgan would grow as a character in such a horrible situation but also unravel the mystery between her and Alpha's instant connection.
Morgan developed into a great character by the end of the book, but as for the mystery of Alpha and the other super soldiers? We really don't get any solid answers. A lot is left unexplained.
My biggest issue is that this book was dark. I mean, if you read the synopsis, of course, it isn't gonna be an easy read. But I wish the author would have put trigger warnings at the beginning of the book. I got blind sided by a very graphic scene that made me have to take a break from the book. Once I was in the right headspace, I managed to finish the scene by skimming through it. I wish I didn't go into this book blind. It's just that... I never had to check the reviews of a book before in order to be warned properly. After this ordeal? I've learned my lesson.
So please, I encourage you to check the trigger warnings.⚠️
Despite all this, this book did end with a HEA, so that something, at least.🐥💕

There is graphic and descriptive sexual assault of a side character in Chapter 15: Friendship. There is also a suicide attempt that same chapter.cyannaslibrary's review against another edition

the grammar couldve been better and the formatting was a lil weird, the excessive use of (!) after an affirmation was not necessary BUT 😂 its a great and quick read for those who like alien x human books :)

There was a whole bunch of shit that happened that was never explained… Like it was mentioned and then everyone forgot about it and moved on. To be fair, I don’t think Morgan herself knew about these things, but since we have a dual POV between Morgan and our antagonist Strong, we knew about it through him. I was curious and did want to know more about certain things mentioned but
It was rushed and just … idk I just didn’t really like it.
This book does handle lots of dark themes such as familial abuse, ableism, sex trafficking, rape, drug abuse, torture, psychological torture, manipulation, etc.. So its certainly super triggering. Especially with rape. There are many moderate description rape scenes, containing the main character and other characters.
