The violence here was really, really horrific! There are scenes that almost hurtful to read! Torture and rape and torment... WOW!!!
The heroine, Ava, is a breeder (and that's already enough to make your skin crawl!) of a really twisted and sick asshole who implanted her with "heat", a chip inside her brain that makes he go into sexual frenzy that, if not satisfied, can kill her!
She'd run from him and hidden, but if she doesn't take regular pills, when the heat hits, she has to have sex. She hates that, but it's unavoidable.
Now she's in the heands of another man, Valdus (I cannot call him hero, because he's absolutely not that at the beginning!), who wants to use her against the "husband". Not sexually, but as a chip to lure him in the hellhole they're in: the penal colony Dragath25 - the real Hell for everybody that "lives" there.
But not everything is like it seems.
Valdus is cruel and implacable to Ava, but he doesn't know her at all! For him she's a pampered wife/breeder of a man who sent him in hell!
The things that keep happening in this colony are truly horrific: the inmates are savage animals who rape, torture and kill the weaker and many scenes were revolting to read.
When Ava defends Valdus and his friends risking her life, Valdus and the others are stunned! She goes from prisoner to co-consiprator to friend to be sheltered and defened from others.
In the meantime the "heat" strikes and you will never immagine who helps! Joke: Valdus, obviously!
The book is dark and full of violence, but the action is incredibly addictive: I just had to read and read and read! It's also full of friendship and love too! The sex scenes are hot and at the same time tender when feeling get involved. ...more
As I said before, this series is one good book and one bad book, but I'm happy to say that now has two good book in row! :)
I loved the glimpse, honestAs I said before, this series is one good book and one bad book, but I'm happy to say that now has two good book in row! :)
I loved the glimpse, honestly, more than a glimpse, to V'hor's world! It was very interesting! I want to read more about his mother after her parting words: "You are my bright star" after I've read at the beginning how manipulative and blackmailing she was!
I loved V'hor too! He was so sweet with his nesting urges! Usually the males in this series want to have sex, but what V'hor wanted was to cuddle!!! It was so unexpected that I had the urge to suddle too! LOL
Eva was OK. Didn't loved her, but she was not a emptyheaded female or too stubborn to listen to what V'hor had to say! In difficult situations she was afraid and almost histerical, but it was not overdone - it seemed like a normal reaction an average woman would have. And since she was not a fighter, for her it was OK.
Another nice touch was that it was Eva who was sexually aggressive!
The action parts were nice and exciting and I enjoyed them.
All in all I liked it and I'm looking forward to Bane's story, even if I'm a little bit afraid (see the beginning of this review)! :-)...more

Is she an idiot? How can she not understand that being on a strange plant without even a space ship makes it impossible to return to Earth?!!!??? She's supposedly intelligent enough to write a bestseller, but she doesn't have enough imagination, intelligence, common sense to understand that??!!!

I loved Arrista since we meAh, and here we go and get the story of Arrista, from the enemy's race, and Torrin, the incompatible to any female Outcast!
I loved Arrista since we met her. She's a virtual slave to the arch-evil-Sarronti Lady, but she's also a sweet and unhappy being. She's convinced that since she comes from Niffal caste, the lowes of the low: bred to serve and blindly obbey, she's unworthy and expendible.
It takes Torrin a long time to convice her of her worth. Even if he wants her he's honorable enough to give her time and space to adjust to her new reality where she is a free woman.
Add to that that the Sarronti females are comatible to all males and you get how this story ends! ;-)...more

I loved everything about this book, but most of all the new world!
I loved Vivian. She was honest and logical in everything. She didn't try to manipulate anyone and she was ready to face charges even if she didn't do anything wrong - all the contrary she saved the day!
I also loved Brassi. He's a Veslor, a shapeshifter, but he doesn't change shape into any of the usual animals. He's unique blend between human and something that resembles a panther, but it's not quite like that! I also liked the little detail that he had fur in his human form, but didn't in his animal form. Clever!
Their relationship is egalitarian. She listens to him and he listen to her. They talk! And they evaluate who's idea to follow! Lovely!
Obviously they're destined mates, but it is not stressed as much as in the other similar novels and I appreciated it!
Their love story was born in the middle of a war situation with plenty of action!
I'm really looking forward to the next book!...more

You who have read the previous books rember Laurel as a traitor of her saviors.
Here we discover that that's not true. She had a control chip implantedYou who have read the previous books rember Laurel as a traitor of her saviors.
Here we discover that that's not true. She had a control chip implanted in her brain which compelled her to sabotage her saviors, who, as retaliation have left her to be captured by enemies.
When she comes to her senses she doesn't remember anything... She's onboard a vessel in space, alone with aliens...
Se discovers that on the same vessel another kind of alien is tortured, so she dicides that they'll run away together.
That other alien is A Detyan warrior Dru who recognize in Lauren his Denya, his mate, and if she accepts him he wouldn't have to die.
I'll not tell you anymore about the story because it will be spoilering! LOL
But, I mus tell you that Lauren got on my nerve often. Her actiions bordered dangerously on TSTL! She knows that she's in danger but goes around alone?!!! WTF!!!???
Also the ending... an almost cliffy where nothing is solved apart their mate-denya relationship.
So, now I must read the next to discover what will happen! Grrr!!!...more

The world they're living on is hell: radiocative, nothing grows on it, predators everywhere... So, how the dying race can get hope only because they found 5 human females? So they, re happy because they can reproduce, but there're some very big problms with that! What will they do if they manage to multiply? Where would they live? What will they eat? It seems too far fetched for me...
Also the heroine... She wants to run away from the aliens. OK, it's understandable, but where would she run? Outside? To die there? Mah...
I hope this is just some kind off prequel and that things will be explained more in depth in the future books!...more

This book is HILARIOUS!!! If you're having a bad day, you MUST read this one - it would do wonders for your mood!!!
There're abduction by praying-mantis aliens for breeding purposes, tin-can stupid robots, dinosaurs, huge blue alien hunks, Smurfs, TMI ... You'll not believe anything, but you'll laugh your head off!!!
There're smexy times, but they were hilarious too!!!

I liked how Astraeus was described. Not his physical descriptioA very good SF with a touch of romance!
The idea is good and the writing flows smoothly.
I liked how Astraeus was described. Not his physical description (even if that's not bad at all! LOL), but his ability to survive in space, to read and influence minds! How cool it would be if we could do that!?!!!
The heroine was interesting too and the chain of command aboard of the human starship was very well described! It seemed so real!
I didn't like how her authority was undermined by the captain and the chief security officer, but, at the same time, I think that's exactly how things would roll if this was real life!
The action part, when the hostile aliens attack, was a whirlwind of almost suicidal actions that cost almost everyone's life! But that too would be like that in real life.
There was only one thing that I couldn't accept: how could she speak for Earth and the human race when she couldn't force her ways with the crew? But, I suppose, if the author decides to write a sequel would be explained there! I know that I would like to read it!...more

Here we have a lot of action and very little romance, which was fine by me! I like action, what can I say? LOL
I liked both MCs. They're adult people who act like adults and that great!

There's no CPS, just a couple of people trying to gain power and money from a scientific find (that's the find of a lifetime!!). It was rather anticlimatic.
I still loved Luka and Mairwen and their closeness and love. Just for that I gave it 4 stars. ...more
