The plot sounds intriguing and the relationship between Kat and Thomas is something to look forward to. I like that it leaves enough room for anticipation in the ending for the sequels to come.

This book seems to be a dystopian science fiction novel, one genre that I absolutely love. Besides, the fact that this book seems so engaging and thrilling makes me even more curious to read it. I'm going to give it a try now. Thanks for the insightful review and great work!

I must say that the concept of this book is very unique and interesting. Truth be told it is a mixture of genres and as such can please a large range of readers. It is not just science fiction but also a romantic action.

The reader is exposed to alien villains who face resistance from their slaves. In the midst of all of the action, two of the main characters, Kat and Thomas, find love and must not only battle to escape from their bondage but also battle to save and protect their love.

This book is ideal for persons who enjoy reading sci-fi novels as well as those who like romance novels with some action. The reality is that there is a lot of action in this book.

Sensitive readers should be mindful of the fact that there is some sexual content and also profanity.

Thanks for your review. Unfortunately, I don't think I will enjoy the sex and violent scenes in this book, so I will pass.

I wonder how the relationship between Kat and Thomas will survive. Both races are after them. They want to escape from Anstey’s estate and yet can not go back to the village because the villagers think Kat is a witch. What are their options? It looks like a story for those who enjoy fantasy, historical fiction, and romance. Thank you for the review.

This sounds like an intense and exciting read if this is your cup of tea. Unfortunately, it is not for me. I found the sample pages hard to follow. Thank you for a great review. I hope you enjoy the next book in the series as well!

Science fiction meets Historical fiction. Sounds intriguing!

I really wonder if Kat and Thomas are humans or if they look like humans. Altogether, it seems like an intriguing and suspenseful tale. Thanks for the nice review!
