Sadly I did not love this book as much as I had hoped. Partly this is me, partly it is the book. I had read the novella, Errant, so I thought I kinda knew what the story was going to be about. But Errant is set... I forget when, some time in the past. Rampant is not; it's about a girl in modern America learning about unicorns. Which is fine, it was just a bit of a surprise. I had t read the blurb, deliberately; I didn't want any spoilers since I figured it was going to be the sort of book I'd like anyway. Killer unicorns? How can that not be awesome? That's what it's about, by the way. Unicorns are real and they hunt animals and people. Only certain people can hunt them in return. This is the learning-about-your-abilities book. If that's your thing, feel free to ignore my whinging! Just go read it; it's certainly enjoyable enough that I wouldn't dissuade potential readers automatically. Anyway, what I really had not expected was how much the book would be focussed in sex. Not having it, how people feel about you if you do or don't, etc (do American teens really feel pressured to have sex before they leave high school??). It does make sense, given that Peterfreund has kept the virginity aspect for her unicorn hunters, but... it felt like it got in the way of what I was expecting, which was learning about unicorn hunting and dealing with that aspect of your nature. Which, yes, virginity is part of that. But there was a lot of going on dates and agonising which I guess just isn't what I was interested in reading. So I'm willing to agree that in that aspect, definitely a problem of my expectations. And I did like the discussion around rape, attitudes towards and reactions to, although the victim seemed to deal with it faster than I would expect. (Not that I want intense victiming either, necessarily.) On the book's side, I felt that the plot went a bit too fast sometimes; fast enough that things got a bit improbable (yes yes, around the killer unicorns bits) and too convenient. In the characters I especially found Astrid's mother a bit much; a bit ridiculous. For all its faults I will definitely read the sequel, Ascendant, at some point

Full review reposted from Smitten with Reading... My Review: This was an interesting Science Fiction Erotica novel. I liked the fact that Safan was a true alien. He was humanoid sexually, but not otherwise, which I have found to be unusual in Sci Fi romances. Usually the love interest may be an alien, but most times their features are very humanoid. That was not the case with Safan. The Ellinod race, which is what Safan belongs to, are large creatures. They have skin that is leather-like with shades of greys, blacks, and browns. Within his race, he is an enforcer so that means he has been allowed to keep his curved horns on his head (I pictured them like ram horns.) I really liked the horns especially since they were an erotic zone for him. Maurra is human, but she has psionic powers which enable her to focus energy with her mind. As such, she is also an interstellar enforcer...one of the JoJo's. A trap is set for these two as revenge and as a money-making scheme by a convict whom Maurra had caught. While unconscious, they are stripped and imprisoned within a facility wired with video feeds. Their captors have sold the video feeds to millions of people throughout the universe for their viewing pleasure of the "show." Inter-species sex is a high crime, but when faced with death vs. the crime, Safan & Maurra choose sex. Surprisingly, and despite their differences in size, they enjoy the experience and start to bond, which makes these scenes really incredibly hot. That is just the first bit of the novel. The rest of the novel is the story of how Maurra and Safan survive after they have been convicted of their crimes on their individual worlds and deal with the fall-out of the universe knowing what they did. It's an interesting novel. I really enjoyed both of these characters. Safan is this huge, tough-looking guy, but from the very beginning, he is trying to protect Maurra. Because of his size, this truly could have been a horrible experience for her, but he made sure to keep her sexually aroused so that she wouldn't be torn apart by him. They are in a no-win situation. All of their choices are bad ones so they go with the only ones that they see as viable. Like Safan, Maurra is a protector at heart. She risks herself time and again to save him and others throughout the book. She's tough and has no fear, even when she knows that she's likely to die from her actions. I liked how she relied on her instincts and would just jump on into a situation without any second thoughts. This is a girl of action. She's proactive and I loved that about her. This is an interesting world and I enjoyed watching Safan & Maurra learn to trust each other and their feelings, regardless of the outside influences. There was a good bit of action-adventure to this novel too, with the accompanying space travel and high-tech ships and gadgets which made it a fun read for the Sci Fi geek inside of me.
