Synopsis (Goodreads):

Someone was watching me.

When my escape pod landed on a lonely planet full of B-movie monsters and other childhood nightmares, the abusive ex I left behind almost didn’t seem so bad. But after a few days of hard-scrabble survival, I realized things were so much worse. Not only was I being watched.

I was being hunted.
Like prey.

Lightyears from Earth, I was finally free from abuse, but now a huge unstoppable male was coming for me. Would this alien hunter and his predator planet be the death of me? Or would we both land in the crosshairs of the universe’s most powerful force: love?

Thoughts on Hunted on Predator Planet: Bruhhhh. Predator Planet is bonkers. I don't mean the series, either. I mean the actual planet is just a DEATHTRAP OF ENORMOUS PROPORTIONS AND HOW DO THESE WOMEN EVEN SURVIVE HERE? Granted, their escape pods are wickedly outfitted with a lot of things a person could need to survive, but STILL. This entire planet is designed to kill and YIKES.

Esra is the first of the women we meet and she has a lot going on. You know, between watching dinosaurs do battle with a kinda scary alien guy and giant spiders that come out of nowhere and attack and the literal air trying to do her in, she has her plate full. Fortunately for her, the alien guy is a little intense and a lot knowledgeable about how to survive on this planet. After a bit of a rocky start, the two of them are working together and figuring out how to communicate and survive.

On Naraxthel's end, he thinks the worst of Esra when he first finds her. But events (and some meddling goddesses) show him the path he needs to take with her and soon he's starting to suspect that the myth of heart-mates might not be as myth-y as he thought.

A whole lot of survival, some political intrigue on Naraxthel's home planet that runs deep, five warriors bound together, a sassy AI, a warrior who starts to believe in the impossible once he meets his special someone, and a lady who refuses to give up despite the terrible odds against her. MAN, this is a wicked planet and I kinda love it.
