For anyone who likes a good alien romance with plot and smut👌👌 I

happily give some recommendations .

There's one which give me Miles Quaritch x reader/oc vibes 😏

Obviously if you love big blue aliens (Na'vi)

You gotta check out Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon

You can also go on the tag #iceplanetbarbarians and you'll find memes and art. It's a big fandom for this series.

There's a spinofff series of this called CORSAIR Brothers

And the first book ADIRON

Has a hilarious hero who's goofy and a himbo. Personal favourite 👌

Next if you want aliens who are very Na'vi like in culture but also don't hesitate to use technology then this one is for you

The Ash Planet Warriors

It's a spin off of the series Garrison Earth.

There are three races here the Vetusian, Jal'zar i.e The Ash Planet Warriors and Humans. The humans and Jal'zar are invaded by the Vetusians.

My favourite book in the spin off is this

Enemies to loves, political marriage. Here's a summary

I won’t touch her. But I will torment her soul. While the other warlords mate with the daughters of our enemy, I want nothing to do with these political marriages. Fate calls me north, searching for what the shamans say will complete my soul.

Now in the Garrison Earth series the last book is very interesting.

It's the Miles Quaritch x reader/oc fanfics but in a book 👇👀👀

Claimed

I conquered her planet and pillaged her body. Now I’m back for her heart.

A decade ago, I brought war to Solgad, home of the Jal’zar. I sacked the planet and slaughtered the people, all to save my race from extinction. Until one of their female warriors hissed defiance, promising me death at her hands no matter how her body longed for mine.

Each night, she came to end me, only to succumb to the raw urges of her mating heat.Each night, I gave her hungry womb what it needed, the way we coupled neither safe nor sane.

I was the enemy she couldn’t kill.She was the female I couldn’t have.

Together, we unleashed chaos.

Many solar cycles after the occupation, I return to Solgad, searching the ashen plains for her: my soulmate. This time, I will claim the Jal’zar female as mine, and nobody will get in the way.

Not even myself.

If you can, do read the entire series first if you want to know a little back story of the male character.

Now on to a villian from a different series

Zorus from Redeeming Zorus by Laurann Dohner.

Here's an enthusiastic comment about the character

Zorus, You Evil Bigot, M*ther F@cking, Sadistic Bastard!!! I have HATED You for SOOO LONG. Now I have to read your Love Story!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Anyway here's what's he's all about: Zorus is a member of the Ruling Council that governs cyborgs. His orders are law and must be obeyed. But Zorus is a sick bastard. He hates humans with a passion, and has been an evil terror to all cyborg males that have attempted to take a human female as a mate. He has gone as far as ordering them to be killed under the pretense that they were Earth Government spies searching for cyborgs.

But in a way his intense hate is justified. It's like if a Na'vi wanted to kill all the humans and Avatars (even the good ones), and all the hybrid children, because of what the RDA has done in Pandora.

Obviously this book is part of a series.

I'm sorry this spiralled into Alien villains but here's the last one

The Fractured Mate

Comments on the book:

Halian was so damned evil in previous books, I couldn't possibly imagine how he could be redeemable. But DAMN if our author didn't come up with the absolute most genius, creative, plot twist of an explanation!

Again part of a series of many interesting alien characters. Best to read those so you get an idea of how bad Halian is.

Now three other good alien books (not a villain main character)

Heart's Prisoner by Olivia Riley

He's not like anything Lana has ever encountered.

Asset X: Massive, deadly, a little terrifying to say the least. A devilish warrior. And a killer. Captured on a hellish world after attacking a military campsite and now imprisoned in a state-of-the-art cell inside one of the military’s top bases--Lazris.

And Lana has been assigned to "study" him. To learn his secrets and gain his trust, if he is ever allowed to set foot out of his cell. As a top behaviorist, it is the biggest hurdle of her career.

Very alien looking hero and mostly from the FMC point of view so there's a whole lot of mystery around him and what he's thinking. When we talking alien this dude is very alien. Also, it's a slow burn. Definitely no attraction at first sight. Actually we're all terrified 😂

Next is Classified Planet: Turongal of The Darvel Exploratory Systems

Cottonwood by R.Lee. Smith

Have you seen District 9? If you haven't please do..one of the best Sci fi alien movies out there. Anyway this book has the same kind of aliens. And a sort of similar plot. It feels like a fanfiction if that movie but it's different from the book too. All the characters are well written and brilliant plot. If 'Hearts Prisoner ' hero is a 7 on the "how alien does he look?" scale, the aliens in this book are a 9.

Argurma Salvager #1 Broken Earth

☝️ Hero's features inspired by the Predator in Alien vs Predator movies.

Saving Askara #1 Saving Askara

This has :

First contact

Slow burn (almost all the books i mentioned are slow burn)

Learning the cultures (Ash Planet also is about learning a different culture.)

Anyway these are some of my favorites and the best sci-fi alien romance i love till date ❤️ obviously there'are many more that I've probably forgotten 😅

Book cover design for class 🩵 feat: Jessica the bestie.

Ive been hyperfocusing on this drawing all day (like for like 12 hours) so I might add more to it later when i have fresh eyes but Im really proud of it so far!

I really like the thought of making sci fi books more accessible to fem people through book covers so this was fun to make! Also lets be real, Jessica has the most influence on the story out of any character and Paul just kind of vibes heh (controversial take ik, fight me in the comments)

Hey everyone! We're heading into the Trans Rights Readathon season so I wanted to pop in and let you all know I have several options, including FOUR web novels (three of which are on Tapas, but all of them are on my Patreon with even more chapters available than what's out for the public). All of my web novels include not only trans and non-binary but almost entirely queer casts (many of whom also have disabilities, lots of cool rep!)

I also have the R-PNZL: A Futuristic Fairytale trilogy available in digital format for an instant and quick read AND a brand new digital only eco body-horror novelette featuring an athlete and a transmasc non-binary doctor struggling with weird botanical mutations! I'd love to be a part of your Trans Rights Readathon readings, all of my links and stories can be found on my website - disturbancesbyalycia.weebly.com and my Patreon - Alycia Davidson Author

My feelings for this book are complicated. The first time I started reading this back in 2022, was just after my grandma had passed away and I wasn’t really in the right headspace to be reading it. So I dnf’ed it. But now, having picked it back up more than a year later I really enjoyed it.

I loved Dex and Mosscap’s banter and philosophical discussions. They felt like friends even when they were just getting to know each other. One of my absolute favorite scenes from this whole book was the one at the end, where Mosscap made Dex tea and listened to them. It was really comforting.

This was cozy and really had me thinking the whole time I read it. So I think I’m gonna give this one a solid four stars. I’m looking forward to what adventures Dex and Mosscap get up to in the next one.

as a part of the fowldom, im convinced we are not normal- i mean like this kids out here committing multiple transgressions and chronic offenses but we all are like "go arty!! that's our boy!!" while everyone else would be like "are you encouraging a 12 year old boy to threaten everyone he meets and fuck up their lives?" yes. yes we are.

(i don't mean that we are abnormal in a mean way, trust)

Did I buy this book because the author is going to make an appearance at the bookstore? Yup.

But now I’m obsessed.

10 Must-Read Books that Defined the Cyberpunk Genre

"Neuromancer" by William Gibson - Widely regarded as the seminal work of cyberpunk, "Neuromancer" follows a washed-up hacker named Case as he tries to pull off one last job in a world of artificial intelligences, corporate power struggles, and a mysterious entity called the Matrix.

"Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson - Set in a future where the internet has evolved into a fully immersive virtual world, "Snow Crash" features a pizza delivery driver/hacker named Hiro Protagonist who gets caught up in a conspiracy involving ancient Sumerian mythology.

"Altered Carbon" by Richard K. Morgan - In a world where human consciousness can be digitized and downloaded into new bodies, ex-soldier Takeshi Kovacs is hired to solve the murder of a wealthy businessman who seemingly committed suicide.

"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick - The basis for the classic movie "Blade Runner," this book explores what it means to be human in a world where androids are almost indistinguishable from real people.

"The Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson - In a world where nanotechnology has revolutionized society, a young girl named Nell is given an interactive book that teaches her how to be a princess, setting off a chain of events that could change the world.

"Virtual Light" by William Gibson - Set in a near-future California, "Virtual Light" follows a bike messenger named Chevette Washington as she becomes embroiled in a conspiracy involving a stolen pair of virtual reality glasses.

"Hardwired" by Walter Jon Williams - A classic tale of rebels and corporations in a dystopian future, "Hardwired" features a motorcycle-riding mercenary named Cowboy and his partner Sarah as they take on a powerful megacorporation.

"The Shockwave Rider" by John Brunner - Written in 1975, this book predicted many of the technologies and social trends that would come to define cyberpunk. It follows a man named Nick Haflinger who uses his hacking skills to bring down a corrupt government.

"When Gravity Fails" by George Alec Effinger - Set in a future Middle East, "When Gravity Fails" features a small-time criminal named Marid Audran who gets caught up in a power struggle between two powerful crime lords.

"Count Zero" by William Gibson - Set in the same universe as "Neuromancer," "Count Zero" follows several characters including a mercenary named Turner and a hacker named Bobby Newmark as they try to navigate a world of corporate espionage and artificial intelligence.
