Synopsis (Goodreads):
If the price is too high, you don’t want it enough.

That’s what I’ve been telling myself, but if I’m honest, I’m afraid I miscalculated my ability to withstand pain. After stumbling across a secret so dangerous my enemies would break universal laws to keep it, I formed a plan that would ensure the safety and freedom of my loved ones. But now I’m staring evil in the face, and I don’t think I’ll make it to the next suns’ rise. When my savior arrived in the form of a hunky daydream, I thought I must have died. But now I’m suffering a different kind of pain, the cost of which I’m willing to pay … but does he feel the same? And even if he does, can we both survive the chaos that threatens to destroy everything and everyone we love?
Thoughts on Hidden on Predator Planet: OH MY GOODNESS. CeCe's story is WHAT NOW? (I mean that in the best way) Joan figured some things out in the last book and HOO-BOY has CeCe been through a lot. Not only was she the catalyst for what happened aboard their convoy ship (and ended up with the human ladies landing on the planet), but she's been tormented and haunted by the ghost of her actions since she landed on the alien planet.

Somehow...SOMEHOW she's managed to survive long enough for Raxthezana to get her out of her sticky situation, but the wild ride doesn't end there. The nightmare planet is still on the brink of tearing itself apart and her employers have a long reach. Which means she and the other survivors aren't safe no matter where they end up.

That said, THINGS HAPPEN in this book. Not only do we get to meet the mysterious CeCe and see her become bigger and better than she was before (Predator planet seems to have that effect on people!), but ALL the hunters and their mates still have to finish the quest the mad queen sent the hunters on and BOY does the planet like to throw dangerous critters in their direction. Raxthezana helps her survive in the only way he can and these two figure things out amidst some serious PTSD, Raxthezana's certainty that his heart had already loved and lost, and the planet trying its level best to flatten them at every turn.

Dangerous enemies, a planet in turmoil, an AI that becomes more than it was, a quest that makes every attempt to end the group, a hunter who doesn't back down from doing what has to be done, and a lady who is as brilliant as she is brave. I'm sad to see this series end, but BOY did it go out with a bang.
