Serpents of the Abyss: The Darvel Exploratory Systems: 2 Paperback – Import, 14 September 2021

I really liked the design of the serpents kind. It is scary but at the same time interresting. The couple is so cute!!!

this book has kept me entertained and rivetted. well written, so easy to read, it truly has alien aliens with their own unique culture. loved it

I find books by this author hit or miss. Some I just can’t get into for various reasons. This one was really enjoyable though once I got past the slow start.I liked the FMC. I enjoyed her being softer and more average instead of a wannabe badass. There are so many sassy badass-with-mad-skillz FMCs out there lately, particularly in the world of RH. At this point I would probably pay someone just to see an awkward, nervous, nerdy deer-in-headlights FMC…The aliens (not even going to try to remember how to spell their species lol) were very creative and interesting with the characters well-developed and easily distinguishable from each other. I really loved that they were a different take on nagas and that they aren’t pretty (though I admit, I have a weakness for pretty male omega characters or super pretty anime men *coughSesshoumarucough*. But I still really love some scary monster guys as well!The world building was great as well! The company made a good villain, though I kinda feel like the ending was rushed and their plans and motivations weren’t as clear as they could be. I also feel like the FMC’s relationship with the other two males was too rushed there at the end as well. I really liked Daskh and wanted more focus on their relationship finally coming together.I really enjoyed the unexpected adoption angle as well. That doesn’t happen often and it would have been nice for it to be fleshed out more instead something thrown in there in passing.Overall a really enjoyable read and I hope we can see more in the future. Perhaps the aquatic species? I think I would enjoy that more than revisiting the same one.

I love SJ Sanders work but I’ve put off reading this series because I couldn’t find anything endearing in the male characters, this one the most. But I loved the storytelling. The monstrous male leads are vicious yet devoted in all the right ways. It’s a beautiful well crafted and exciting story. I love the worlds these stories are set in and would love to read more! There are so many opportunities to savour the drama with other characters in each world. More please 🙏!!

Nice F/M/M/M Romance
