Captured by aliens, Enzo is thrust into being the human liaison between the invading but friendly aliens and the humans on Earth. While Enzo gets help from Aster, he's not quite sure what the alien wants from him - Aster doesn't have plans to do some probing does he? And why is Enzo possibly on board with that?
From the blurb:
Then the call came. Report to base. No explanation.
Before I could even process what was happening, I was yanked off Earth and dumped onto an alien ship alongside millions of military personnel from around the world.
Except these aliens—the Krezikians—aren’t here to conquer us. They’re here to stop humanity from destroying the only livable planet we have. Which is… noble, terrifying, and wildly inconvenient when you’re being “saved” against your will.
Things get complicated when I sneak out to check on a friend and get caught by Aster: gorgeous, sweet, and equipped with a set of curious tentacles that do not understand the concept of personal space. Suddenly, I’m being shoved into the role of Earth’s unwilling spokesperson, spending far too much time with my abductor-turned-ally… and discovering his interest in me might not be entirely diplomatic.
Turns out that the monsters in this situation might not be the ones from space.
And maybe the aliens who abducted me… aren’t that bad.
SNik's review:
Standalone. Sci-fi. Fated mate. Slow burn. Single POV.
Being abducted by aliens is not on Enzo’s bucket list, especially when he gets roped into becoming the liaison between the humans and aliens. But the aliens are here to save the Earth, and Enzo starts to get too close to one of his helpful captors. Enzo is lucky Aster steps in to help and they begin to build a friendship that starts to feel like more.
This book focused a lot on the politics of navigating the human unwillingness to trust as of course everyone fears the unknown when they have aliens show up. Enzo is a plucky and earnest character and garners the attention of an instantly possessive alien. Single POV is always hard for me, and although both characters were likable we don’t get much sense of Aster or his background. Also, Enzo becoming the speaker for the entirety of the human’s captured seems unlikely, but he tries, and the fish out of water aspect was a good way to get familiar with the world building. There were some really fun secondary characters and some entertaining tentacle spice.
