No Spoiler Here.

I am giving this book a 5 star with mixed emotions. Jacquelyn Frank created a world non like any I have read about in my past. It was a cross between Monsters Inc (Disney movie) and any Dr Seuss book you pick up. At times I almost wished the book was illustrated so I could compare my minds picture to the picture the authors wanted us to create. I wanted to love the main characters in this book....but at times I almost hated Asia. The author wanted to create a character that was s...more

Not exactly sure on the number because of the way my Sony Reader figures page count... but my point is that it isn't a super long book.
I only gave the book 3 stars because I got really sick and tired of Asia's attitude and inability to view herself as the type of woman who could or would even want to have a relationship. Ms. Frank did a great job of conveying this as an issue for Asia and I was even able to logically relate, though where all her mistrust of men and love came from she never explains. We all know how frustrating it is when an author has a character do an about-face to quickly, well Asia was the pendulum in the opposite extreme. After a while she just annoyed me with her complete inability to feel emotions other than frustration, anger, injustice, and lust. Also her ability to compartmentalize sex isn't, I believe, a natural nor healthy ability in a woman. This really stunted her and hardened her which I too feel is the result of women treating sex this way. However Ms. Frank wrote this aspect in a way that left me wondering what her own feelings were on the matter. Asia would describe this as a forward thinking thing to Julian and coupled it with a refusal to sit around and "just be pretty". But in my opinion these are 2 very separate women's rights issues and have vastly different fallout in our lives. I was not left feeling that Asia was a strong, able woman at all. I was left irritated at her bullheadedness, feeling a complete lack of connection to her as a female character representing women's ability to know oneself. When she finally realized she did have emotions/feelings for Julian (in like the last 20 pages of the book) Ms. Frank had done such an excellent job at portraying her as unfeeling I had a hard time buying into her acceptance of love.
I went straight into the second book in the series, Stealing Kathryn and yet as I sit down to write both reviews I still feel frustrated with Asia. (less)

She’s just too good to miss, as I’ve done with her debut series, The Nightwalkers. She has once again left me spellbound with this newest series and in awe of her talent.

She’s just too good to miss, as I’ve done with her debut series, The Nightwalkers. She has once again left me spellbound with this newest series and in awe of her talent.

Asia has been doing her own investigation on Julian Sawyer, a handsome playboy who she suspects of kidnapping and killing women, the latest victim her sister. She’s been the only one to put the pieces together and now she’s so close to proving her suspicions. Assuming the airs of the type of woman who attracts Julian, Asia puts her plan in motion, but she couldn’t be more surprised at the outcome when all is said and done.

Trying to save his colony and his people, Julian takes willing human women to his world where they are revered. As he’s forced to take Asia home with him when she learns too much, he realizes she’s his kindra, the one meant only for him. Now he has to make sure she acclimates to his world which is so very different from hers, fraught with danger at every step. Asia, however, doesn’t need anyone, especially a man as domineering as Julian, but she finds out very quickly she just may need him in this strange land where she has no choice but to leave her previous life and now make the best of things as an alien among stangers.

Since I began reading Ms. Frank’s Shadowdwellers series, I’ve been simply amazed at her imagination. She always gives readers something very different from the norm in paranormal romance. This new series is no exception. Julian’s world is several layers beneath the Earth’s crust, a world where one misstep will send someone spiraling to their death, a world that is ruled by energy and the beings who have learned how to harness it. Asia ends up doing quite well in his world due to her independence and defense training and, of course, Julian’s love when she finally lets it consume her.

This is another series I’ll be waiting for book by book to see what happens next. I have a feeling at this point every book or series Ms. Frank writes will be like that for a lot of readers out there. Each book is definitely worth the wait.

I picked this up on a whim out of my TBR pile. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't a sci-fi novel featuring aliens from a different plane of existence. Despite my lukewarm feelings about the premise in the beginning, I admit the story sucked me in the more I read. I enjoyed the world-building. Frank's description of Beneath and the creatures that inhabit it were well done. I also enjoyed Julian.

This is the first book in the Gatherers series and is a pretty good intro into the world Beneath. Fans of Kresley Cole & Larissa Ione should like this series.

Naturally, the female protagonist Asia has a killer body, "lean" yet with large breasts, needs no bra because they are "firm", etc. Similarly, her partner Julian is all that is gorgeous and perfect, etc. As cliche as that all was, I did roll my eyes, though it is certainly nothing new to the romance genre.

One of my daughters read the entire series and enjoyed all of the books. I am always looking for that elusive paranormal romance that will draw me in and take me away for a few hours.

The setting was interesting: The Beneath (below the Earth). Most of the inhabitants looked like humans but were aliens. The men needed human women for their gifts of reproduction and energy. A plague had invaded their world years before and left their women decimated. It fed off the hormone estrogen and with less children being born their society was dying. Eventually the ratio of men to women was 200:1. Hmmm...pretty good, right?

Julian is a gatherer and his job is to find the human women who can help support his world. The women who go to The Beneath choose to voluntarily. One of the main ways the women 'give' this world their energy is by having sex. When Julian meets Asia (a modern-day bounty hunter) he realizes she is his life mate and kidnaps her. When she arrives at The Beneath she finds she cannot go back without complications. There is more to the story but I won't reveal anything because I'll give it all away.

As to the one star rating: I didn't find the heroine, Asia, likeable. Though I knew she was written as a strong female I bristled at most of her behavior. She continually used strong profanity. If this doesn't bother you than you shouldn't have a problem reading the book.

I accepted Julian's behavior because he was an alien and I knew he meant well. Though he lived on Earth for some time he grew up on The Beneath and tried to acclimate Asia to his world. What I did have a problem with was the plot. Most of the time Julian and Asia fought. I have no problem with a romance and tension between the main characters but the storyline was fickle and didn't make sense sometimes. I also struggled with some secondary characters and their personalities. While this scenario contained a portion of romance and action it eventually suffered due to a lack of a coherent story.

This book is the first in a series; STEALING KATHRYN was released in April, 2010 and Ms. Frank did a good job creating a world that could be believable. Let me reiterate the word COULD. We'll see what happens. Hopefully future books will earn more stars then this one did.

I didn't really care for the beginning of yet another series from Ms. Frank. Mostly I wish she would concentrate on bringing us a continuation of the series that she's already worked on.

I didn't feel as though this series had nearly the richness that the other two do, mainly because of lack of history/content. It spent to much time proving that the heroine was a feminist/independent/but willing to succumb to her baser needs at any given time. And the hero, while being noble and blah blah blah,...more

As others have said, in this book there are different planes of existence around Earth...three above and three below. Travel between them is very risky to all involved, but when one level - Beneath - finds itself on the verge of extinction, a select man is sent to earth to harvest what his people needs to survive. His race exists on emotional energy, and without it his people are starving. While usually Julian can collect from a being only once without hurting them (which Julian does not), there are a special chosen few who are such a source of energy that they can donate over and over. These women are given the choice of going to Julian's world, where they will be revered. One woman who makes that choice is Kenya. And all goes well until Kenya's sister, Asia, tries to find out what happened. Assuming Kenya was killed, Asia begins to hunt the man she believes responsible, and uses herself as bait.

When Asia finally makes her move on Julian, hoping to entice him into trying to kill her like Asia believes he did her sister, Julian is not what she expected. Of course, Asia is not like the others..she is Julian's Kindra, or mate. In finding his mate, Julian's days as a Gatherer are over. But when Asia discovers what Julian is, he has no choice but to take her to his world, against her will. Humans can never know what exists around them, or all would be destroyed. And when Julian does return home, he only has a matter of days to convince not only the powers that be, but Asia, that they are mates, or both will forfit their lives.

I liked the story set up, since it was unique and creative. The whole energy-thing was a bit out there, but still workable. I very much enjoyed Julian, as well. Even though some of his actions were questionable, he was trying to balance the survival of his people, his duty, Asia's safety and his own needs. I got that, and I liked him for it. My problem was with Asia. I just didn't like her. While Julian praises her "strength", to me she just came off as both childish and tempermental. You can cut her some slack with the whole taken against her will thing, but her constant need to be both dominant and the victim at the same time was off-putting. To say she ran hot-and-cold would be an understatement. The little bit we learned of her sister, Kenya, was much more appealing than Asia. Even at the end, the happily ever after, she was still somewhat unpleasant, and that is a shame. Asia's character dropped it from 4 stars to 3 stars for me, but I do have high hopes for the next one.(less)

I love the language use, characters, worldbuilding, and details from those books, so I figured I would get more of the same in this new series. While there are plenty of elements here that are definitely unique, overall I felt the finished product of the book lacked a little of the panache of the other two sets of novels.

First though, I will give props to this author for introducing a landscape to paranormal romance that I can safely say I've never encountered before. In this world, you have to visualize the universe as a gigantic piece of tiramisu. Earth as we know constitutes one of the layers, say, the top one, and allllll the way at the bottom is Below, where Julian is from. The beings that inhabit Below are just like regular people in every way except that they live off of energy instead of food, and can't produce the energy themselves. There are also virtually no women in this world, as they were all killed off by a plague. In order to keep Below going, Gatherers, like Julian, have to go to Earth to find women who can produce energy in enough quantities to sustain Below through either their strong emotions or their sexual energy.

Asia reacts to all this pretty much as I think any of us would, that being with a big, fat WTF. Asia is kind of a ball buster throughout the entire book, and while I certainly don't mind kickass heroines who aren't going to just accept any load of crap the hero decides to dish out, I found her to be kind of tiresome after awhile. Since the main tension of the story revolves around the developing relationship between Julian and Asia and whether or not she will accept a place in Julian's society, this puts the tone of the book in kind of a pickle. But, I'll get to that in a minute.

The description of the setting and the unique rules of the world of Below were my favorite parts of the novel by far. I was reminded of really vivid sci-fi or fantasy novels where the worldbuilding takes center stage. In that way, this book totally lived up to my expectations.

When it comes to the characters and the interactions between them, though, that's kind of a different story. Not to mince words, but I thought the premise of needing to kidnap women so that they can have as much sex as they want because the energy that's produced from all that sexin' is what powers and feeds this society to be about as sexy as a rubber porkchop. Julian's position is that women in this society are revered and honored and that, as far as lives go, it's not a bad one, is kind of undermined by the fact that around every corner lurks someone who wants to see Asia take a dirt nap in a big hurry. And, when Asia doesn't take too well to not only being snatched out of her life where, although it was a lonely existance, it was one that she'd created for herself, she's accused of being selfish and mean-spirited! Sorry, but I don't see "let's have sex so we can save the lives of orphans" catching on as a pickup line any time soon.

The finale of the book, where Julian and Asia finally accept their relationship and look forward to a happy life together, was a little....bland, to be honest. I thought it was kind of rushed in order to make room for the setup for the next novel, and left open a kind of obvious plot hole: if these two screwing like rabbits produces enough energy to feed the entire colony, why do we need any more Gatherers or novels? I'm just asking.

For all that, I find myself intrigued to find out what happens next in this series. The next book, Stealing Kathryn, is out soon, and I'll probably read it, although I might opt for a copy from the library this time.

Overall Grade: B-
