Synopsis


From USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin

Maite Martinez has always yearned for more than waitressing in a greasy diner on the polluted ruins of planet Earth. Hiding her special abilities is a full-time job on its own, even with the government distracted by the mysterious alien race – the Aunare.

When a SpaceTech officer gets handsy with her, she reacts without thinking. Breaking his nose might not have been her smartest move. Now she’s faced with a choice: serious jail time working in a chain gang on a volcano planet or join the corporate army to fight against the impending war with the Aunare. It’s really no choice at all.

As with everything in her life, Maite quickly realizes that the war with the Aurnare isn’t what it seems. And Lorne, the Aunare prince, keeps popping up everywhere she goes. Being seen with him could get her in even deeper trouble with her commanders, but he’s the first person who sees through the wall she’s built around herself and she can’t bring herself to send him away.

When the situation between SpaceTech and the Aunare escalates, Maite has a way to end the war before it even begins. There’s only one question: Can she stop the total annihilation of humanity without getting herself killed in the process?

My Review


4 Stars

I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

Due to being quite ill at the moment I am going to keep this review short and sweet.

This is one sci-fi story that I enjoyed and found to be a promising start to a new series. I did find the beginning to be a bit slow but not difficult to get into. The worldbuilding is something I hope to see more of in the coming books. I really like the concept for this story and, being a person who loves the little details, would like more of it. Maite has to be my favorite characters so far and I found some of the others to be likable, I hope I can connect with them better later in the series. While I do love a good romance, this was not a major aspect of the book which I found refreshing but I can see this changing as the story progresses. I did feel that the ending was a bit lacking but that hopefully this will be “remedied” at the beginning of the next installment in the series.
