Jesse Sampson and her two younger sisters have lived a hard life on the streets of Seattle, Washington, for the past several years.

Alone in a world gone mad with just her sisters, Jesse has learned to use the darkness and the remains of the city to survive and keep what was left of her family alive. She has seen the savage side of human nature and finds they are not much different from the aliens who conquered the Earth.

Story
When alien pirates stole me from Earth years ago, the trauma of my abduction wiped away my memories. I can’t remember who I was before I was taken. All I know is that I’m not going to let myself be held captive again. The blue-skinned warriors I'm now living with seem different from the pirates who abducted me, but every alien I’ve ever known has tried to hurt me. So when I see my chance to sneak away from the Voxeran village, I take it. I’d rather face the dangers of Nuthora on my own than risk losing my freedom again. There’s one thing I didn’t count on, though. Bohrir.

Publisher's Summary
Internationally acclaimed, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of Science Fiction, Urban Fantasy, and Paranormal Romance, S.E. Smith, brings another action, adventure, and suspense-filled story to transport listeners out of this world!
Destin Parks will do whatever it takes to rebuild the city he calls home, even if it means working with another alien ambassador. Her predecessor left him hesitant to trust the alien diplomats assigned to Chicago's rebuilding, but Destin knows that if he refuses to work with them, he will be replaced, and he won't give them the satisfaction.
Jersula Ikera was assigned to Earth by the Alliance Council. The Council hopes her logical mind and calm demeanor will resolve the upheaval caused by the last ambassador. Jersula has fought hard for her position, and while not pleased with her current assignment to liaise with humans, she will do her best to help rebuild the world its inhabitants have destroyed. What she does not anticipate is her reaction to the hardheaded human male that she has been assigned to work with. His ability to get under her skin and ignite a flame inside her is quite alarming, mystifying, and leaves her questioning her own sanity.
When Jersula uncovers an alien cartel's plans to traffic human women and children, a near fatal attack leaves her unable to trust anyone but Destin, who can't bring himself to trust her in return. Together, Destin and Jersula race to stop the cartel before anyone is taken off-planet, but the traffickers are not the only ones they are fighting against; Waxian and Drethulan forces have targeted Earth.
Can Destin and Jersula stop the traffickers and prevent the deadly forces of the Waxians and Drethulans from destroying the progress they have made? Will the Alliance be able to protect Destin when the enemy discovers his connection to a powerful Alliance family? The battle for Earth has just become personal.

top marks for story expansion
it was awesome to have this book advance earth's ventures.
Destin was an untapped character in previous books, so it was great to develop his story.
finally, the head adversary is revealed. it was a fantastic plotline that entwined all previous novels into this culmination.
our heroine isn't as kickass as previous women but held her own.
it was nice to have a human male to add some difference to the mix.
it was sad in a few places and funny in others. steamy with a change and emotionally charged just about all the way through. at times, I was thinking that the plot was getting rather intricate, considering there is only 1 more book left in this series. I'm unsure if there is a different series that may continue.
and when the adversaries seemed to prevail, i felt a little frustrated. there were some decisions that H and h made that I didn't think I liked. but that's what it's all about.
the new characters in Daggers Book were puzzling, and I was glad to see some questions solved in that regard.
there were also a few loose ends and holes that i didn't get answers to . I'm hoping Edges book ties it all together.
David Brenin...what can I say. brilliant work as always

Better in audible for me.
AUDIBLE REVIEW
Better in audible for me. I ended up with a totally different reaction and take listening to this story over reading it.
Still felt it was lacking romance due to the time jump when they are on the ship going to earth but in audible I felt their connection better.
Loved how strong and competent a character Sula was.
Very frustrating though having the baddie get away time after time.
BOOK REVIEW
A great addition to this series and world but not enough romance for me.
I love the way Ms Smith manages to combine her different worlds through just a few interactions and words.
I have read all The Alliance books and even though they are not my favourite series, once picked up they cannot be put down until finished.
We finally get the human resistance leader Destin’s story and I just loved how this book really expanded and moved on from the previous ones in relation to earths future involvement with the Alliance.
I loved Destin, have since book one and really found it interesting that Jersula or Sula was his HEA.
Though it does not negate from how good this story is, giving us more interaction, insight and belief that earth will pull through, I found it was severely lacking in romance between our two H’s. Love at first sight is wonderful but I like to go along for the ride as they fall deeper in love. More a sci-fi read and less a romance which is very strange for this talented author who is usually able to combine both beautifully.
Cannot wait for Edge’s book.
