Hmm...

Well I loved this at the beginning. Mia was kick-arse, as were the rest of her team. I was interested in what was going on with the murders and finding out who was behind it...

I also loved the little glimpses we got at the start of Kyrin. He sounded equally seductive and bad-arse--which is a great combination.

I can't say I understood Mia's need to attack him all the time...but I guess she has some anger issues regarding aliens.

The murder plot became less interesting throughout the book as I just wanted to concentrate on the sexual tension between our main characters. There were some pretty steamy scenes between them...but also not enough for my liking.

There was a shock thrown in, which did surprise me.

The thing that stopped this from having four stars was the ending. I can't say I enjoyed it that much. It seemed to resolve itself far too quickly and I can't say I felt Mia's emotions at the time.

Just a heads up...
I have listed one of my current WIP with the idea that, until I am ready for Beta readers, and eventually get it self published, I would like to share a little bit of my writing experience with you all. I will be sharing a video blog depicting the different experiences which I will be going through as I finish my first draft, go through editing and revisions, seek out Beta readers, and do my best to promote the heck out of my finished project. I will be sharing plenty of behind the scenes information, as well as stories of how this story idea came to be, and my early struggles with the writing process before I came to join Smashbomb. I hope you all enjoy these videos and hopefully you will feel like you have played a special part of my whole creative experience.
