Surviving Skarr (Ice Planet Clones, #2)
Ruby Dixon
Overnight, my life has changed to one of sheer survival. I wake up on a strange alien world covered in ice. I have no memories of myself, not even my name. And I've resonated to the biggest braggart on the planet. Skarr is a chest-beating alpha male gladiator with lizard genetics and an intense case of self-love. He tells everyone within hearing distance how amazing he is. Bleh. I want nothing to do with him, but according to the khui, we're soulmates. This means we're bound to have babies and live our lives out together...forever... Not if I have anything to say about it. To survive, I'm going to have to figure out who I am, what I am...and what to do about the man who won't shut up about how incredible and perfect I am. It has to be an act... doesn't it?

I was excited to be going back to Not-Hoth, but sadly this book wasn't the best. To start Skarr was EXHAUSTING for 50% of this book, and it made it insufferable, there was moments where I laughed at him but overall I was not enjoying him. Vivi was bland. She does not stand out amongst the other girls, but one thing I did like about her was her attitude change when she dealt with Skarr, it was like he was so exhausting it broke her out of her shyness but only towards him.
The plot is very 'domestic' which isn't usually a problem but it was not working this time. This did nothing for the over arching story and I understand that not every book can build on it but a small piece would have been nice. Also the snow-cat plot line felt half-baked.
Honestly I was hoping the story was going to revolve more around Skarr and his struggle with surviving on an ice planet. I know for me had the plot focused on that it would have been way more interesting. The one small scene where he froze up was the most interesting part and it was so short lived. I would have LOVED to have seen this focused on since in terms of aliens he is the most unlikely to survive on this planet. Instead I got a plot around them both trying to "find" who they are since they are clones, and unfortunately I found this boring.
The spice was low, even with Skarr having TWO, also please don't ever put an ass-eating scene in again, I wanted to throw up.
And can I just say another round of edits would have been good because one sexy time scene made no sense and another scene involves Skarr removing Vivi's shoes by the fire only for two pages later having her shoes prevent him from taking her pants off?? Like inconsistent much.
Overall not the best, and I don't see myself re-reading this one, both characters aren't favorites of mine. Also Skarr lost points when he said Kyth was simple minded, I have had Kyth for a short time but I currently love him so I will not accept any criticism of him from the other characters haha.
