Earth is in decline, and the wealthy have fled it, leaving only the destitute citizens behind. And aliens.

Gemma McKinley works at a prison cleaning goop off the floors and serving food to inmates. When she is reassigned to the alien ward, Gemma is nervous. Aliens are dangerous and ruthless. They bite. But there is one that isn’t like them. Simon is damaged, starved, and wasting away in complete isolation. Touched by his loneliness, Gemma starts nursing him back to health, dismissing rumors that he’s high-risk, ignoring the advice to let him croak.

Simon despises humans. His only goal is to get off this miserable planet fast, for he is hunted by a scientist obsessed with perfecting the human race. Simon’s rare alien genes are just the ingredient that’s missing for breakthrough research. Thanks to Gemma, for the first time in years, he can escape.

And he will. He will….

As the hunt for Simon heats up, Gemma becomes an unintended target. Is she a fool to help him get away? And will he risk another captivity to protect her?

WHY did it end like that? *laugh cries* 11hr 46min of listening....to end like...that? Super abrupt and I mean, I guess a HEA?? There were many things eluded to during the last few chapters but they were never confirmed and their story just...ended. honestly I'm kind of upset about it. I feel like the ending is where it finally started getting really good.

would I recommend this book? yeah, I guess I would. I listened to it while cleaning my house and cooking meals.

narration? not bad. although I feel her accent for the MFC was awful but I got past it. she did well to make everyone have distinctive voices.

story? it was good. could have probably been a duet or trilogy book if they wanted to add more to the story or even just give it a better ending?

ok, yeah I'm a little bitter about the ending.

take what you will hahaha

An unusual story with incredible world building and strong characters. There’s rather thrilling drama, as well.
The narrator is also super talented. She provided great voices for each character.
The plot is original and some of the story leaves the reader to provide the details, including the ending. I’m actually quite welcoming of it, since you know it will be alright for the two main characters. Anything can happen because they’ll be together.
I do recommend it for those who enjoy the unique.

Creative, Unique!

Such a wonderful main female character! Great substance. I didn’t mind the ending though would say no to an epilogue or continuation. So unique for alien romance! My only criticism is I’d like more romantic depth expressed by the main male.

So unique!
