Review: Quick and Fun Read

This was an enjoyable read for me, even though the book only had 99 pages. Though it didn't really have much in the way of character development, there were tons of action in the arena and in the bedroom, mostly for the sake of "species revival". You can well imagine that things never got dull in the book. The imagery and action described by the author brings to mind scenes from Spartacus and Ninja Warrior tv shows. If they ever merge and combine into one, that's how I'd imagine those fighting scenes in the arena would look like, especially with those obstacle courses at the end, combined with deadly creatures from other planets. Overall, this was a relatively quick and pleasant read. All of the characters were likeable, and the ending gave readers hope for new beginnings, even though Anna and the other women would possibly not see Earth ever again. This story is continued in another book - Beast Planet 2: Captive Salvation- which I don't really agree with because this first book was so short but I may buy it just to see what happens next with Anna and her mate Morrdrook, and the others on the Zakiu home world. Written in the typical Angela Castle fashion, I do not expect the sequel will disappoint!
