Description

Abigail

Monsters are real. And so are aliens…

The beast was terrifying. Eight foot tall, covered in green scales with horns that would make a bull jealous. When they threw me into his cell, expecting him to knock me up so they could sell his offspring, the last thing I expected was to find a gentle giant.

Okay, okay, not that gentle. He did kill a guy and tossed his corpse at my feet the moment we met. Not exactly romantic.

But he gives the best cuddles, that counts for something right?

Ziame

When the slavers threw a pretty human into my cell I knew I had to act. Everything had been building up to this moment.

To break out of this cell.

To free my brothers from a fate in the arena.

I have to step up. I have to be more than the mindless beast I’ve pretended to be.

To save the pretty female I have to be their leader.

…and maybe I can convince her to stay by my side while I do it.

A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise

"1. Absolutely amazing book it had so many wonderful parts to it!! I’m hoping for a second book to follow more into Abigail and Ziame’s life together!! It’s a definite must read book.

2. Superneat book, good likable characters, new species, surprising twists, humor. Not going to say more, just read it.

3. I got sent an ARC of this book and not being a huge Sci-fi fan I didn’t know what to expect.

The fresh style and intriguing storylines of this debut novel had me on the edge of my seat till the very last page.

You will definitely empathize with most of the characters and probably find the protagonist likable.

It’s a good book to forget reality’s problems for a while and get immersed in a futuristic world where everything is so much more interesting.

An easy read that leaves you wanting to know more about the story’s world. Hopefully there are sequels to come. Don’t lose a chance to get to know Abigail and Ziame a bit better. Kudos to a very gifted writer, that has a lot more to show for her work!

NOTE: I took these reviews off Goodreads but some of them overlap and are also on Barnes & Nobles
