Vandar Raiders are amazing and I'm officially obsessed with this series. Hot Viking Space Aliens... Couldn't read this fast enough!
Kratos was a Vandar Warlord and leader of a raider horde, Vandar raiders mission is to fight the Zagrath Empire. Vandars are very advanced technologically, they are ruthless warriors and they take no prisoners. Kratos was on his ship when he was informed that there was a ship that had entered Vandars' space. He didn't hesitate to pursue the ship and board it. Astrid made a navigation error that put her and everyone in her sister's ship in danger. When they're boarded by huge, ruthless, bare chested Vandars, she sacrifices her freedom to their leader and becomes his captive. Vandars aren't exactly known for taking prisoners, but Kratos feels a strong pull to this short, curvy female human...
Kratos and Astrid were great characters, it was funny to see their relationship evolving in the Vandars' warship. At first, Kratos didn't knew how to handle a female human, he only wanted her in his bed. Astrid didn't make it easy on Kratos but their attraction was insane and she just couldn't resist him. I absolutely loved Astrid's relationship with the young apprentice warrior that Kratos ordered to stay with her, their bond was sweet and I enjoyed how Astrid shared some human culture details with the kid.
I enjoyed the world building, it wasn't fully developed but it definitely made me picture how the Zagrath empire, the Vandars, the humans functioned. I love SciFi so I wouldn't exactly mind if the world was more explored but I get that the focus is the romance between the main characters and I enjoyed that. There were a few events mainly related to Kratos actions or words that I would like that happened in a different way, but I also understand that his actions made sense considering he was a Vandar.
Overall, Possessed was a engaging, fast paced, steamy, fated mates story and I'll definitely continue with this series.
