Nicole Blanchard

I've read just about everything that K. Webster has written and a few of Nicole Blanchard's books, so I was totally jazzed for this one. And with very good reason. It was so good. I mean, just soooooo good.

Breccan and his morts are the last 10 beings left on their planet until 2 of his morts bring back 5 human women in stasis. And miracle of miracles, they are compatible. Then Aria wakes up and Breccan goes a little crazy.

I felt so bad for Breccan and his morts. I mean, they totally broke show more my heart. The situation that they have found themselves in, through no fault of their own, is just devastating. I couldn't do what they do. And then Breccan and his UV addiction. Oh man.

I also feel so bad for Aria. I mean, she's been stuck in stasis with no clue as to what's going on and she wakes up in pain, and then some alien wanting to be with her. It has to be so terrifying for her to try and figure out what she needs to do. I don't blame her for being sad, scared, angry, or whatever else she may be feeling. She has every right to those feelings.

A lot of the problems that go on in this book are because two cultures are trying to get together and that is never easy, but they don't even really have a common place to start from, so it's even harder than it would be for 2 humans getting together from 2 cultures. So, there's a lot of problems around that.

This story is sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes incredibly joyful, and sometimes incredibly frustrating, but always incredible. show less

I have decided that I want to go to Mortuus and find myself a mort. I think that Nicole Blanchard and K Webster need to make it so.

Calix has been watching over Emery, his lilapetal, and is worried because she's sick and she doesn't seem to be getting better. He's going to do everything he can to make her better, including stealing her away from her quarters and taking her to his lab to do what he can to cure her.

I really like Calix. He's caring and protective, and willing to stand up to show more anyone and anything to make sure that the people he cares for are safe. He's also got a strong sense of responsibility and duty, and he wants to make sure that all his people are going to be safe from any diseases.

I felt for Emery so hard. Asthma may not seem like a terrible thing, unless you have it and you can't breathe and you don't have your medication, then it is pretty much the scariest thing ever. And she's feeling herself slowly suffocate. But, she's strong and brave and determined. She isn't willing to let anything stop her.

I can't wait for the next book. show less

My Review:

I was really excited to read this one because Sci Fi romance and K. Webster in one sentence....seemed to be perfection for me. However, this book fell flat for me in such a massive way. This was basically mostly erotica. It didn't really have much emotional depth to it and while I found the world building aspects intriguing, that was really the only thing super positive with this story. I struggled with the heroine in the third act as well. She is so selfish about her own interests show more and not caring about others and makes some horrible decisions and hurts her man and doesn't grovel at all???? I just am not even sure I want to continue with this series moving forward. We shall see. show less

Theron is sure that he is the best thing since sliced bread. Or maybe sliced rogcow. He's charming, he's special, he's talented, and he's definitely the best looking mort, just ask him. He'll tell you. Now, he's with Willow, flying in his precious ship in between the prison and the facility. Theron is pretty sure that Willow is the woman for him, but she's pretty sure that he's not the mort for her.

I love how Willow is always needling Theron and doesn't immediately fall down at his feet show more like he thinks that she should. I don't know why he thinks he would be such a player, since he hasn't been around any females or anything, but you know, there it is.

I love how Theron keeps referring to the book about mating that they've written. I think it's so funny, and I think that it's great that the morts are trying to do what they can to understand people who are so far different to them.

I can't wait to see what happens next. show less
