My Review
Lilly wakes up after being kidnapped by aliens called Volderens. The Volderens crash landed on Earth many years ago and our government knew about them, in fact they experimented on the Volderens and hurt them terribly so they don't exactly like humans all that much.
Brax and Vax kidnap Lilly because they think she is the key to helping their people and helping some of the humans that Lilly sees in comas on the ship. But Brax and Vax aren't the nicest or most forthcoming about what they need or how she is going to help them and she's terrified so she tries to get away a few times, angering Vax. Turns out that her DNA is the key to helping both their people and hers because she has some Volderen DNA already in her body somehow.
I really liked this book and liked the way that Lilly and Vax start to get to know each other when the Earth military and government come for her but not to save her, no they want to kill everyone, including her because she has some of the aliens DNA in her and think she needs to be eliminated. Turns out our government aren't the good guys and the aliens aren't the bad guys. It's crazy to think that our government and military would act like this, but is it really all that surprising? Not to me, I have no doubt that this is exactly what they would be doing and how they would be acting. Sad really.
Once Lilly realizes the truth and how things really are, she sees Brax and Vax in a different light and stops fighting them. When Vax tells her that they are actually mates, it all starts to make sense and why she feels a pull towards the gruff alien.
This started out a bit weird and I really didn't like the aliens because they weren't very nice to Lilly but we come to realize that's because of how the aliens were treated by humans and experimented on.
This turned out to be a really good book and I really liked the ending.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
