Synopsis (Goodreads):
Objective: Find the Alien Warrior. Complication: His heart claimed me as his mate!Thoughts on Into the Chasm: We're back with the second of the ladies VELMA has tapped to lead a rescue mission on Certain Death and Tasheka has her work cut out for her. Mostly because this planet REALLY likes to try to kill the people who land on it.
My teammates and I had bleak futures and pasts we'd rather forget, so when we were tasked with finding four missing WarGuard warriors from an alien race, we jumped in feet first.
Now, two of my colleagues are missing—and I am too. Trapped belowground, I still have access to VELMA, the machine-learning program that gave us our rescue mission. Thanks to her, I know I won't die here. Probably.
But when I find one of the alien warriors, I also find an irresistible attraction that I can't ignore. VELMA tells me there's a precedent for alien/human couples, but I don't know. Can an alien warrior and a human woman have a future in a place called Predator Planet? Or will the desire we feel for each other make us too vulnerable to risk falling in love?
Also, she got sucked up by a sinkhole and is now trapped underground with a warrior who might be dealing with his heart migrating for her. I'm not talking metaphorically, either. These warriors have their hearts LITERALLY change locations when they find their special someone. Which is sweet and also maybe a little concerning.
Anywho. Tasheka is kind of second guessing her agreement to help with this rescue when Grace gets snatched by a giant flying critter moments after they leave the drop ship. In fact, she's a bit of a mess about it. Then another of her comrades disappears and she really hits that "what was I thinking" button hard. THEN she gets pulled into a sinkhole and deposited in a massive underground cave system and things probably couldn't get worse, right? Except she ends up finding the one of the warriors and he's...well, she might like him and his courteous ways. He's not too hard on the eyes either.
On Dukaza's end, he's in a bit of a pickle when Tasheka finds him. As in, he's been envenomated and isn't really at his best. But he rallies and pulls through (thanks to Tasheka and VELMA's knowledge of all the things that can kill a person on this planet) and now he's wondering why his heart keeps twitching when he gets close to his rescuer.
The feelings happen quickly (which I like) and the planet lives up to its reputation (which I also like). Another lady has matched up with her warrior and I LIKE IT!
