Primal: A Dark Sci-Fi Reverse Harem Romance (Alpha Unknown Book 1) Kindle Edition

This book is not anything like the description. It's like the author just typed her rambling and absolutely no outline of where the story was going. Hard to understand any of the beginning chapters because she bounced around in the middle of sentences.So disappointed.

Experimenting with portals to another dimension; scientists send people through having an idea how it will affect them. The results for most were horrific but they continued the excursions. One young girl goes through finding a world beyond her imagination; fortunately she does not experience the same problems others have.

2 StarsThe beginning for me was just odd and didn’t make quite sense.I think because it was so fastly paced, the ability to pick up what was being put down was a little confusing and hard to picture.When I came across:“I was twenty-eight and well on my way to becoming an adult..”Umm...okay(‘in the states’ anyway)So at age 18 your technically a legal adult, at age 21 to drink, I’d say at 28 you’ve reached your goal by 10 years. Congratulations.So in this book universe you need to be 30 years old, to be an adult then? LolI really was Honest to Goodness interested in the book, but at chapter one you given a boat load of just filler and much unneeded info and details and it kind of continued further the more I read.I just..I don’t know I guess I couldn’t click with the writer, I found Adeline to be annoying and I guess she’s supposed to be some badass chick but I found it WAY to unbelievable. I just didn’t like her at all.And the Guys:“Aggressive in the sac, big tough guys” but honestly they were wimps in my eyes and just annoying as Adeline.The smexy? Ehh... there are a few.Some very long and some short, one minute she’s terrified then she’s dirty talking (nothing turns my stomach more then weird sudden behavior), kink-ish scenes I guess?Honestly I was bored, I’ve never been more annoyed at a word before but ‘master’ was mention a few times, but honestly it felt wrong in this book cause it just did not fit in the universe.This book was not at all what I was anticipating.Would I read more from this Author? I honestly don’t know.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I couldn’t get through this atrocity called a book. I stopped at chapter 8. Judging from a good portion of reviews I missed nothing. I had to stop this book and read the reviews to see if I might’ve been the only one confused with this and, turns out it’s not only me. The beginning of this book that was supposed to set the stage made no sense. I mean it, no freaking sense. Couple that with the weird talk of these “God’s/aliens/insert all the other adjectives this author used” and it was really cheesy and dumb. In fact I had to highlight some of these quotes bc they were just too lame not to revisit: female lead: “ breed me like an animal”, one of the male characters: “at long last another female c* has come for me to seed”. Other male character: “show me your hole earth-child”..... so incredibly dumb, cheesy, and lame. I have to question the sanity of anyone who have this more than 2 stars.... thank Jesus it was free.

I've read some of Woods other books and liked those. So this was one of those books that I read the blurb was was so excited to read the book. What I got instead was a book that was really all over the place. The first few chapters are basically a fast paced complex information dump. A big majority of that could have been thinned out because it was repeated in other spots of the book. It felt like the author couldn't decide on what she wanted to call the men in the book (monsters, aliens, almost gods, men) so she went with all those all the way through the book. It made the story feel unfocused. The ex boyfriend played such a large part in this book it felt more like he was a main character more so than the actual men who were the main characters.I like the premise of the story a lot and that it had a HEA.The main problem I guess was that it felt rushed and so unfocused with way too much filler information all the way through and the actual storyline got lost in all that filler information. It wasn't a smooth read.Most of this and a few other issues should have been caught in editing and cleaned up before being published.

I did enjoy this story even though it is a bit darker than I usually read. The author did create a different dimension that most of the story takes place in, in which sometimes you may seem to be hallucinating.Adeline, as a little girl who idolizes her father, goes to work with him one day and experiences something very unusual. She then goes into the same field as her father to experience it again. She sees three men who are sleeping and she awakens them when she visits as a child, and they ask her to find them again. She goes looking for them until she finds them.Magnus, Donovan, and Cadmar are trapped in this dimension and their only hope is that Adeline finds them. They each have different roles there, the protector, Magnus, the provider, Donovan, and Cadmar who keeps them together and somewhat sane. They have a story to tell Adeline, and the world, about how they came to be here. They are not demons or monsters, just , well, I will let you find out.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
