Xarc'n Warriors #0.5
Pursued by the Hunter
Cynthia
My name is Cynthia, and I live in the Bugpocalypse. I eke out a living in a barren and hostile post-apocolyptic landscape, foraging for food, hiding from deadly bugs, and sleeping in abandoned shipping yards. You know, the whole nine yards. But I have a problem: I have a stalker.
�
And not just any stalker. He’s powerfully muscular, fiercely protective, and…purple. Yes, he’s freakin� purple. Cov’k is a Xarc’n hunter. And he claims I’m his mate.
�
There’s no way I’m going to be some ferocious warrior’s pet! I don’t care if he saved me from the swarm. And I definitely don’t care about his talented tongue. I’m getting the hell out of Dodge. If he wants me, he’s going to have to find me first!

This book is the prequel to the Xarc'n Warriors Series and does a good job of introducing the world this series takes place in. I backtracked for this book since I have already read a lot of the books that have been released so far and have enjoyed them all so far. It was nice to get to read about Cynthia & Cov’k and I also enjoyed the mentions of other characters whose stories I have already read.

I read this book out of order in relation to the rest of the series (honestly, I didn't realize there WAS a prequel until I was a good chunk into the series otherwise I would have read this first) and HOO-BOY do I like these scourge-fighting warriors. Sure, they don't have the best social skills, but they are here fighting the good fight against the bugs even though there are plenty on Earth who aren't thrilled to have them planet-side.
That said, thanks to the government propaganda about the hunters, Cynthia is NOT pleased to have a big purple alien following her around. In fact, she has no idea what to do with Cov'k at first. So she ran. Fortunately for her, Cov'k followed her. He protected her when she needed it and found her a decent group to settle in with once she reached Franklin. All without her knowing, for the most part.
On Cov'k's end, he wasn't quite sure what to do with Cynthia since she seemed determined to get as far from him as possible. A little time and a little space (or so she thought) gave her the chance to come to terms with the big guy and his protective streak.
Bugs, bad guys, a little miscommunication, and a couple who (eventually) find happiness during an invasion. Yesssssss.

This is my second novella out of this series and it didn’t disappoint!
Just like the last novella, it’s super fast-paced and you will finish it in one sitting.
It has a great mix of romance, comedy, and action.
If you like when the MMC says “my female� or “tell me you’re mine�, then you’ll enjoy this quick yet satasifying read.

What a wonderful story. The world building was beautifully done. I loved every the author’s attention to detail. The characters were interesting. I love the conflict and resolution that the author created. The way that the concept of fated mates was approached in this story was very intriguing. I really enjoyed this story.

Short, sweet, and to the point. It was nice getting info about the Xarc’n aliens for when I read the rest of the series.

A little slow start, but still a cute read. I hope Mickey gets his due.
