The Ithaden’s Slave

by Daniella Wright

I'M 12 WEEKS PREGNANT AND CAN'T REMEMBER WHO'S THE FATHER OF MY CHILD.

"You were gone for 8 months and were clearly abducted."
If there was ever any love in my heart for the father of this child, it is now gone, along with all my memories.
It is time for me to make a decision.

I keep getting bright white flashes.
I remember being cold.
Bars blurring my view.
Weird instruments, like from some kind of lab.
I feel scared, very scared.

Since I got back I've been feeling someone is watching me.
PTSD, maybe?
But the fact that I know this mysterious stranger probably doesn't exist, makes me want to go running after him...
I certainly didn't expect to catch him, though.

He turned around and looked at me with those blue eyes of his.
The sadness in them took me by surprise, as did that sudden flare of... something, something unmistakably stirring inside me.

Unless I was having a full-blown psychotic episode, this man was very real.

"Who are you and why the heck are you stalking me!?" -- I scream.

"Ith-rassil, ptet sirihis ra roross. Hroussil htemtep ra grassil, ith-ihadentet ra."

I realized that I understood completely what that he was saying, regardless of what language it was:

"I can't say much here. If you want answers, here's where you need to be."

About the author

Hi! I am Daniella and writing is my life. It was not until very recently that Fiffy and I finally got the courage to follow our dream and become full time authors.

Even though I am the only one writing, Fiffy is always here to assist me with inspiration.

My characters are like people inside my head that won’t leave me alone until I give them life on paper. I really enjoy writing fantasy romances and I’m thrilled to be doing it full time.

Thank you so much for reading my books!

First this is a time and space travel romance. So expect a lot of the plot to rotate around it. Next it is also an alien abduction romance. The romance part is actually very sweet. And a deep part of the plot. With several twists that will leave you guessing what will happen. The aliens are definitely interesting and extremely smart. Then there is some bad guys that pretty much want to destroy the whole human race. I really liked the main character of Kate. She is also very smart and holds up better than any woman I know would. So expect almost anything when time and space can bring you anywhere.

DNF: 36%

The reason I am only giving this three stars (and why I didn't finish) is because I picked this up expecting to read a quick surprise/secret baby romance and it's a time travel science fiction story with very little romance involved in as much as I read. To be fair, those elements may kick in later but I wasn't interested in sticking around for them.

I gave this three stars because it wasn't horribly written but it was not at all what I wanted.

Also the main character is a blonde. Why is the cover art of a brunette? That's so sloppy and weird.

Misleading title

But a great story! A better title might be "Ithaden's experiment." Kate was never a slave, but she was a lab rat of sorts. And then she was loved beyond reason. An exciting alien time-fixing travel adventure and romance with all the feels. Not graphic, if that is off-putting to you no worries with this interesting book. Four well earned stars.

I couldn’t.... it was just... well, I didn’t get it. Was I supposed to read the previous books in the series? Was there a story I should have read?

[Tammy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this sci-fi read. Kate life has recently been a mystery, she when missing and now she is pregnant. She and her baby are in danger Sid comes to Earth to get her. Can she trust him and will he keep her safe? Fast-paced read with loads of drama and suspense.

Interesting storyline

There was not much dialogue in this novel. It was filled with description and asides in parentheses. I like a novel where half the chapter is dialogue.

[Danai Christopoulou · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although the title (and the cover art) is misleading in my opinion, this book was a very decent attempt at a very kooky genre (time travel/space alien/shifter/abduction/amnesia M/F romance). What set this apart for me and the reason I'm recommending this, is the main character of Kate. A well-rounded, capable individual who doesn't need to be saved by other people and who is a voice of reason amidst all the time-traveling insanity. The romance was cute as well, it felt organic for the most part, despite Sid being well, maybe you should read the book for more. I also enjoyed the secondary characters a lot, especially the hint at a F/F romance, which is quite unusual for books of this genre.

Enjoyed the story but confused by the title

Wandering into a local shop and seeing the current date, is the first sign to Kate that something isn’t right. Finding out she has been missing for several months and that she is 12 weeks pregnant sends her into a tailspin, trying to find the truth. The story is well written but the title is misleading. Unless I missed a large portion of the book Kate is not and was not at any point in the story a slave.

[Karen Nastasio · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book some what, the back and forth of the time traveling had me wondering how it was all going to work out. Kate has be missing for 8 months and then turns up in some part of a ruff neighborhood and freaks out when she reads the date on the newspaper and is taken in to custody. Once they realize she has been missing and has no memory of where she has been or what happened to her and her parents are called they take her for a full medical checkup and find out that she is pregnant and that only makes matters worse. Sidanav is watching over his woman Kate and there unborn child and making sure that they safe but things have changed and he makes contact with her again to save them both and just in the nick of time. What happens to everyone as the time travel across the universe trying to out run the Xerrks that are trying to kill the heir to the throne she is carrying inside her and save there lives from being destroyed by him when he is older and the new king.

Ith-rassil, My First Heart

The year is 2019 and Kate has been missing for eight months. Now, she's back and very confused as where she was. She feels like she is being watched. And she is pregnant! But by who? She meets a red-headed man who slips her a note with strange writing and co-ordinates. She has to find out what happened and who he is. So, she goes to the house at the end of her quest. What she finds is the man, Sid. He shows her things that scared her and things she craves beyond her yearning. They go through time and space to her wildest dreams. To her surprise at becoming a queen. As sci-fi books go, this is one wild trip and a beautiful love story. I recommend this book because it has everything a girl could want out of life. A new family, a new world and an alien who loves her through all time. It's a typical example of Danielle Wright's talent. Good job!

Ithaden

I enjoyed this book. I do not think the title " The Ithaden's Slave " fits the book . See what you think .

The situation is made worse when she finds out that she is pregnant and someone only she seems to be able to see is following her. When she finally confronts the mystery man answers finally come her way and she is drawn closer to Sid. Will the love she can feel growing between them survive their fight to save the universe?

Kate is found in an unfamiliar part of New York with no memory of what happened to her. She has been gone for almost a year. She goes home and tries to return to life. She has so many questions and no answers. She meets a strange man (Sid) that might answer her questions. But can she trust him?

This is an interesting and suspense take on abduction and the consequences they have.

This was an unusual but satisfying tale. It has a futuristic theme yet retains the warmth, ingenuity and wisdom of humanity. It is action-packed but has a quirky realness to it. Very, very enjoyable read.

Umm

I really tried with this one, but I’m so bored at this point. I made a promise to myself a couple of years ago that I wouldn’t force myself to keep reading if I got to 20% or 100 pages. I still forced myself beyond 20 percent, but I’m still bored. It’s a pas for me, but that doesn’t mean it will be for you.

[Sharon · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a pretty quick read only taking about 2 hours cover to cover. This is a good story with very interesting characters. This author is wonderful at writing this type of story and with this one she has done it again. I always enjoy reading her books and I loved reading this one.

Kate's time ship adventures.

I liked this story very much. The characters of Late and Did were charming and romantic. The author's use of participation with an alien trying to save both their perspective planets was excellent. The romance sequence a were tasteful. High recommendation to our readers. Enjoy😇

[Eva Wade · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was great. Imagine waking up in a park and you have no memory of how you got there. come to find out you wake up 8 months later and to top it off your pregnant oh no what do you do. I can't wait for more from this author.

[Christine · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a good book

I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys alien love and adventure. This is a really different story with time jumping and fights against other aliens.

[Lisa Boyce · Rating 3 out of 5]

Difficult

I found this to be a difficult book to read. It was at times very boring and I just wanted to give up and put it away but I finished it. I can't really recommend it though.

[Wild · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not for me BUT....

This book is as well written as all of Us Wright's others but I couldn't engage with the subject matter as I did with her others as a amnesia/memory recovery story was just a bit beyond me.

[Gaynor Jones · Rating 4 out of 5]

A moment in time....

Kidnappings, amnesia, aliens, prophecies, fate, pregnancies, time travel, lust, love, action, danger and adventure. Come along for this great sci-fi ride!

Constant action!

I read this in one sitting. The characters were likeable and interesting. This was high speed action start to finish.
