Saved by an Alien Shifter
I thought a zombie apocalypse was bad enough, now I learn aliens are real too?
The last survivor of my group, I’m picking off zombies from the safety of our compound when one of the zombies stop and looks directly at me!
The zombies are mindless. They never see anything.
Somehow this one does, and it’s headed straight for me. What choice do I have except to shoot it?
But when my arrow hits, the zombie doesn’t die like it should have. Instead there’s a burst of blinding light, and when I can finally see again the rotting zombie flesh has turned into shimmering golden skin.
He looks human enough, and he's most definitely male, and he’s bleeding purple blood from a wound with my arrow sticking out of it. There’s been too much death lately, I can’t add him to the count.
But saving him is one thing, falling for him… that’s another thing all together.
He’s an alien. I can’t fall for an alien, can I?

How does this have a 4.23 average star rating? I obviously did not read the same book as everyone else, because this was not a 4+ star book. No way!
This book had potential in the same way a movie about a tornado filled with sharks has potential. It could have been a glorious meshing of all the things.
Alas, it was more of a dumpster fire.
I found the tense it is written in didn't roll and seemed very strange.
I found the female had a very unhealthy and toxic reaction to the alien not wanting to have sex with her. After knowing her for less than 3 days. She was offended that he was attractive and didn't want to have sex with her, that was planning to leave earth without boning her with his "penis like appendage" as she literally referred to it as when she saw him naked. Very un-sexy. Even though he told her in no uncertain terms that his race bonds for life and he will only have sex with his forever female, she still felt angry that he wouldn't put out. Naturally she had a tantrum and declared that he is a tease.
All the names given to human characters were so different, that I remember none of them. I don't remember the names of the aliens either.
The storytelling was choppy, it desperately could have used a lot more description, world building, lots of refinement and editing.
I wanted this to be good, but it really wasn't for me.

DNF - quit at 38%
The writing style is very awkward & immature. I just really couldn’t get into the story as it all just felt mashed together. There is no world building to the point I quit, which I would have understood it had it been from the alien’s point of view, learning as he does sort of thing. But coming from the very human FMC’s POV, it didn’t work. I wanted to like the alien, but he came off robotic or something unnatural (I’ve read cyborg stories with more appeal even though they are robotic) & this was not at all charming me into caring. I just couldn’t continue & have deleted the book from my Kindle.
At my age (60), life is way too short & my time is too important to force myself to read a book I'm not enjoying, especially when there are so many other books out there waiting to be read.

So the story is 98 pages. The first 40 were completely dissing humans. How we consume things, how we waste things. How we are too tech based and need to be more in touch with the earth. It was supposed to be a romance. I don't want to be preached to.
The next 40 pages are I want to mate with the alien because he is male and I haven't had any in a very long time. For creatures that are supposed to shapeshift into the dominate species to study the society. Vukre is stiff and robot like. Other than being physically drawn to him I didn't see the romance. It felt flat.
The last 8 pages are Let's pair bond and live somewhere else. Are you sure. Are you sure you're sure. Its a go. Lets have sex. Honestly I didn't enjoy it
The last 3 pages are a set up for the next book.
I was bored and begging for the end. I wouldn't have finished it but I am behind on my reading goal.

Zombie apocalypse meets alien rescue romance
Written from a first person point of view: the female main character's.
The story follows a human female, who's the only one left of her group after a zombie apocalypse kills off the human race. She's been alone for 6 months when she shoots who she believes is a zombie but turns out to be an alien shape-shifter. After being alone for so long, she craves physical contact and emotional connection, but on his race, being with someone is forever....
The story is well written, with good attention to detail. The characters are as believable as a shape-shifting alien can be. There's emotional trauma and drama as well as depressive scenes. There's also some gross descriptions: zombies, zombie behaviour (think eating habits), and zombie apocalypse grossness. But there's romance to balance that out. As well as a happy ending :)

The Zombie Apocolypse has happened and Kiranda is the last person alive in a large area as all those living in her fortress/shelter have been eaten by zombies. She mistakenly shoots what she thinks is a zombie trying to get into to her fortress when she notices that he is not oozing slime but purple blood. Long story short he is an alien. Longer story she falls in love with him and he shows her his wings. Then he tells her there can be no relationship between them and leaves her. He comes back for her and asks her to come back to his home world. More to tell but no spoilers!

A really nice HEA
I really liked the direction this book took. A very different take on the zombie apocalypse for sure. Still an HEA which is always good. First you have a lone female survivor of the zombie apocalypse, add in your blue blooded gorgeous alien stir in some harrowing moments and some hot loving and you get one delightfully yummy take on a new way to survive the end. Very refreshing.

This is the first book by Pascia Thrall that I've read and I'm certainly going to be looking for more. I loved the story line, the characters, the excitement. This is a book I couldn't put down. I'm an avid alien/paranormal fan and Pascia is now on my list of favorite authors to keep on the lookout for. Thoroughly recommended.

Very different story about a zombie apocalypse, with alien shape shifters as the heroes.
Not very spicy, but a very different approach to an apocalyptic event, still you get some zombie killing, and brain eating (actually they eat anything they can run down, even each other), and dead zombie piles, plus super cute winged aliens built like Greek statues.

A light hearted read, rather than there being a very alpha male "Alien" with in this novel, his more a softy of one.. I feel that the characters personalities do not flow well together so it makes it a hard read and a rather boring one... The lack of emotions flowing from the pages... makes for a bland read also. But how ever i do like the plot, one i have never read about before... so unusual.

This was an interesting one.
A zombie apocalypse with aliens, a wierd pair but I enjoyed reading it.
The alien H in this book was soft unlike the "Alpha-Male" aliens I've read.
Not a lot of smut but it was still good to me, the zombie apocalypse aspect of this book is what pulled me in.

Good premise but needs work
Lots of editing mistakes. Very rushed storyline and so so love scenes. It is a quick read. If you get grossed out by zombies chomping on people and themselves, maybe not the most fun read for you.

Too short. Not much happened and no reason for them to be “in love” knowing each other for like 3 days… We couldn’t connect with the characters as not enough time was given to get to know each other. I liked the zombie apocalypse storyline. So much more could have been done with it.

This looks like it will be pretty good, if this prequel is any indication. I recommend this story to adults.

Aliens meet zombies. Surprisingly, the book is far better than you would expect from the premise. A couple of errors but otherwise pretty good.

Vukre and Kiranda
The story was very interesting. I liked Vukre's kindness and appreciated Kiranda's resourcefulness. I liked this book so very much.

Decent
An okay read. A good way to pass the time and a decently interesting plot but I'm not allt hat attached to the characters. I did like that the romance was rather homey.
