I'm not into alien stories, and the Stockholm syndrome theme bothers me. But this certainly sounds like an exciting story.

After reading the sample on Amazon I grew intrigued on how Abby would react and develop upon realising her situation and so downloaded the entire novel. It had me so hooked I was even reading throughout meals. There were some plot issues that irked me though. I felt that the transition from Abby being resentful to loving was too quick for me. If anything I’d rather her agree to attempt at being friends before further developing their relationship. My biggest pet peeve was that the different species were not as developed as I’d liked and that Nicolai’s features seemed more humane than other beings. Other than this, I absolutely loved this and finished over the course of 6 hours. The character development of both Abby and Nicolai has been beautiful to watch and I am eager to see in how their reign would affect the social constructs of their people. :D :D This type of novel I feel would cater more to young adults.

A combination of romantic science fiction with alien abduction sounds like an interesting read. I like how you highlighted the messages conveyed by the author.Thank you for your review.

The story sounded so familiar to me that I had to look up whether this was the book I had read or it was just something similar. Turns out, this was not it, which is perfect because Claimed by Nicolai sounds great!
It has a strong female lead, a strong message and steamy romance, what more could one want?

Weird enough I might be excited if I was ubducted my an alien. It would be a thrilling adventure. Hopefully Abby will forget about her past and embrace her new future with the alien (Nicolai).

This seems very interesting and enjoyable. And the story is unique and fresh because of how Abby reacts and is in denial to her current situation. And it's pretty clever how the author has explained the super natural creatures as alien walkers. Thanks for a great review.

An amazing supernatural fantasy thriller "Claimed by Nicolai" by Denna Holm, which follows Abby Harris, who is abducted by an alien named Nicolai Nekbet from planet Raiden. Nicolai is a warrior prince and wants Abby as his queen. The story appears to be quite entertaining.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Great review. Spells out everything to expect from the book. I agree with you when you say that a heroine displaying her strong background is important to a story. Seems like a good book. Thanks.

Official Review: Claimed by Nicolai by Denna Holm gives a clear picture of the story of the book in my mind! It is a natural and spontaneous expression of literature! The review is a detailed and thorough analysis of the story of the book as well as the emotions of the female protagonist at every step of her life! The reviewer's reactions to the book are superb! I love the part of the review that describes the diverse characters of the story!

Vampires and werewolves' stories are not my cups of tea, but I admire the well-developed characters that the author built, especially Abby who seems to have a down-to-earth personality. Great review! Thank you!

I am not sure this book is for me. I don't like romance novels, and one based on kidnapping and force sounds like it isn't going to appeal to me. Great review!

Though I always love fantasy or sci-fi novels, I am not tgat much attracted toward this book. Kidnapping a woman for makinf her a mate? That's a very usual story but though thanks for the informative review.
