When
Abby and Noah meet, there is an explosive attraction between them that neither
can deny...
As a shy, awkward, social misfit, Abby has gone
her whole life feeling as though she's different from everyone else and she
simply doesn't fit in well with society as a whole. She longs to feel a real
connection with someone, and she finally does when she meets Noah.
Unbeknownst to Abby, Noah is from another world
and his sole purpose is to hunt down the evil of his people that was unleashed
on Earth hundreds of years ago. He's certain he isn't going to be able to
return to his home, and anger and the need for revenge are his constant
companions. His focus has been eradicating the evil and making them pay for
taking his life on his world away from him.
Noah tries desperately to fight his attraction
to Abby so he can keep his focus on his mission. But when Abby gets dragged
into the evil and mayhem from Noah's world, he realizes that maybe with Abby he
can find a home here on Earth...if he can save her in time.
My opinion:
Again a series I discover when it’s finished or nearly … I missed the 6
first books and now that I’ve read book1 I do regret not having read it before.
Carly Fall created an interesting
universe and I enjoyed a lot her vivid descriptions of SR44 where the
inhabitants are made of colourful smoke, she took the time to describe their
environment but also their culture and ways of life and the history. For this
story I think it was something really important because without it I couldn’t
have related to the six saviours, I wouldn’t have understood their dilemma,
their mindset as well as I did. It’s the first book but it gives us solid
background info to immerse ourselves in the universe she created.
Noah is a warrior but a disillusioned
one … he lost hope to go back on his planet one day since it’s only possible if
they complete the mission that was assigned to them. Unfortunately, the one who
prepared the said mission didn’t take a lot of things into account … if it was
really short one the absence of contact with their world and family was
understanding but the situation they are confronted to is way worse than the
one they were told and believed… hundred years later the mission is far from
completed and like all warrior Noah is wearing down. He still has pride and he
does it job but he is dull. Worse they
were told they couldn’t love or they would loose their immortality or slow
aging and their original form making a return impossible. So when the bad guys
are reproducing and killing, the good one are alone with only their mission as
an objective.
Really, I had some difficulties to
understand why they didn’t give up before and I admire their courage… alone in
another world without anything from home that must be hard and I can’t
understand that those who send them didn’t think of something if it was longer
than they expected, no they are just left to themselves. Noah is their elected
chief, so it’s even more responsibility for him but until now he managed.
However when he meets Abby, he is attracted to her and her voices without
understanding why…for the first time he is smiling again and hoping even if he is fighting his attraction
putting his duty before everything else.
Abby is different from other, she never
really fitted and the dead of her mother when she was a child didn’t help.
While her mother supported her love for knowledge and difference, the orphanage
made her depressive. Now an adult she still lives a little isolated, with a few
impersonal contacts. She isn’t happy with her life but she goes on, her work as
a reporter isn’t satisfying her anymore but it pays the bill and she still hope
it could help her to find her mother’s murderer. When she sees Noah on a
picture of a crime scene she is knows she saw him somewhere but more than that
she can’t resist the need to contact him and the connexion is immediate she
trust him and can reveals secret to him however even if she loves him when he
make it clear that he won’t be completely in the relationship, she prefers to
stop there. When she hears the truth, her decision doesn’t change, she loves
him and because of that she can’t ask of him that he renounces to what he
is…. But she is different and when she
attacked, Noah won’t resist anymore he must protect her even if his brothers in
arms don’t agree.
I appreciated that the romance took
sometime, after all a lot is in the balance and after years of putting is job
as his sole priority I couldn’t have imagined Noah to make a 180° after a few
hours. He is torn between his pride, his honor and Abby that make him feel
alive for the first time.
What i regretted is sometimes the jump
in time, for example when Rayner explains what could save her, we don’t see the
ceremony just the result after and i would have loved to get more details.
The action is fast, the tension high at
moment and the romance sweet, I couldn’t resist. If you are looking for a steamy sci-fi
romance, a paranormal romance with aliens, this is a good try and even better
you can get it for free on smashwords so no reason for not giving it a try. I
really hope i will get an opportunity to read the rest of the series
Score: 4/5
