After being kidnapped by little green men, dumped on an ice planet populated with giant blue humanoid creatures, and force-fed a symbiont to stay alive, Liz Cramer wants nothing to do with Raahosh. Raahosh had given up hope of finding a mate, then his symbiont purred for one of the little pinkish creatures with a foul mouth and a mean temper. While the others are involved with making sure all the little creatures get symbionts to survive on his planet, he quietly picks Liz up and disappears into the snow to a cave he uses when hunting. There he does his best to woo his mate, but Liz gets even madder when she learns he knew her language all along thanks to a translation program inserted into his brain. Only when faced with the threat of permanent separation does Liz realize how deeply Raahosh understands her, and she’ll fight anyone to keep him. Dixon’s self-published “Ice Planet Barbarians” series stormed BookTok in 2021, and now their adventures are available in print in special editions perfect for libraries to share with readers curious about the phenomena.
VERDICT Dixon’s books are recommended for larger public libraries and where demand warrants.
