One Stars for the most annoying heroine EVER!
ARGH..... Yola Sal the heroine of the book finds herself mated to an alien because of a tax debt she could not pay. She lives in a dystopian future, where the inhabitants of the planet Earth (low realm) are subjugated by the inhabitants of the floating cities of the (sky realm). The social economic divide is huge, and nothing is resolved about it in this book.
The alien she is mated with is sexy, sweet and patient; her alternative was death. Being mated to an alien because of a tax debt isn't right, but she grew up in a society where nothing was fair. So why is she so shocked. The book centers around her quest to find the free zone, a place where the sky realm doesn't rule. She will do anything and risk everything to get there. Yola is a selfish bitch of a girl. I didn't like her and when she insisted on going into a radioactive hot zone, with a mother in children in tow; she should have been voted off the island. ARGH!!!!
The trip to the free zone is boring. Her best friend is psycho, and she missed it for ten freaking years. She does have hot sex with the alien Thorne, who should have dumped her twin flame ass.
I read this via kindle unlimited and did finish the book as I didn't want the author not to get paid, but those hours of reading I will never get back. If the author had written the non sex scenes with as much passion as intimate ones, it would have been a good book. But right after sex Yola, went right back to hating her life. Sex caused brain fog for her. Nothing brought this couple together emotionally not even the killing of a murderer.
