The Alien's Surrender

Outcasts of Corin, Book 2

De: Ella Maven

Narrado por: Reagan West, Gabriel McKnight

Amber: The blue alien warrior pacing in his cage terrifies me. His long dark hair is wild and his scarred body looks made for murder. I deliver food to him every day, and I'm sure by the way he stares at me that he'd rather eat me. Yet there's something about him that captivates me, and I can't stop watching him. When he lets the snarling, fearsome mask slip for a moment, I start to see there's a cool calculation to his actions. I would be risking everything to help him escape, but do I dare let this monster free from his cage?

Vinz: Getting captured on purpose is not my favorite activity. The food sucks, the guards beat me as their favorite pastime, and more than anything, I miss a good flask of spirits. But I'll endure all of that for her-the human. She walks like she's floating, has a voice as soft as Fatas herself, and always gives me the fullest food bowl.

As long as I'm here, I can ensure she's safe. Until my hands are forced. Until suddenly she's a vulnerable female in my hands. Until her entire fate rests on me, the outcast of the outcasts. They think I'm a monster? I haven't even come close to my final form, and for her, I'll be the worst beast of all.

Contains mature themes.

The heroine: Amber - she and other human women are on the planet Corin. They had all been abducted from earth by aliens, they were mistreated and experimented on to the point where they had been altered and each has special abilities then they were tossed out like trash. They have had to fight for their freedom every day since then, even since they had started to make a life on Corin. They are afraid of all alien races after what happened to them, so they try to stay within their own group on Corin until one night their camp is attacked and they are abducted again by aliens.

The Heroes: Vinz - he is a Drixonian male, an outcast. The outcasts are sons of deserters and are looked upon as if they were the ones that deserted. They expect never to be granted mates because of their status as outcasts. His race used to live on Corin but left after a virus wiped out their female population and left Corin by choice and only now after the war, have returned to their home planet. They found it changed and other races had moved in and made it their home. The Wutarch’s are the worst of them and the Drixonians were trying to find peace between the two races, despite the fact that the Wutarch’s were an awful race that treated their females terribly.

The Story: Vinz had wondered why the Wutarch’s were so set on the Drixonian’s not crossing their borders, so he snuck across and found some other aliens (the Jocktal) that looked like they could start a war at some point. Vinz’s goal in life was to make things interesting, so he didn’t give a fleck about rules or treaties and lived to do what he wasn’t supposed to be doing. Though he did care about his brothers and was always willing to put himself at risk for any of them. When Vinz sees a human female, he knows he has to do something.

Vinz purposely got captured by the Jocktal, in an effort to find the human female. He was beaten and put in a barred cell, but the human female was the one that was tasked with bringing all the prisoners' food each day. Amber’s special ability was that she could stay awake for up to a week, though when she did sleep, she was dead to the world for a few days.

I liked the storylines in this book. The fact that Amber and Vinz went through similar things at the hands of the Uldoni years ago was something that bonded them. Though like in the first book in this series, Vinz as an outcast doesn’t think a mate is for him even after they both get mating marks because he is a son of not, an outcast. Drixonian law says that all male relatives of a deserter of the Drixonian army are punished and that includes making sure the line ends with them.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Gabriel McKnight and Reagan West. Reagan West has an expressive voice that is a bit lower than I usually like for a female narrator, though that just means she is better at doing male voices than many. Gabriel Mcknight has a soft, not-so-deep voice, and is able to use different tones for different characters. He does a good job and overall, the narration is not bad at all.

Wow really good

I did cried on this one. What a beautiful story. A must listening! The narrators were fantastic! The story was good and touching!

So good!

I did not realize that this book had sucked me in so well until I realized that I had already missed the closing of our grocery store that’s near by. I have only amazing things to say about this book. Vinz is a tortured soul and Abby is perfect for him. The action never stops either. More plot heavy in this book. I loved it.

nice

it was a refreshing plot. a bit different which is good. I liked the characters . a bit immature but nice. the narrators still need improvement but it was fine. all in all it was good.

What a Journey!

What an awesome journey of finding someone who’s lost then finding yourself when you didn’t know you were lost! It’s very interesting how these two come together, but the best part is how they can heal each other.

Great,

and different from other Drixonian stories. I appreciate the length of this one as it did not have all the filler parts. We already know kind of what the areas like, the people and enemies are like so no need to repeat. I actually enjoyed that and the fact that the amazing narrators did their parts, male and female. I also needed a shorter story for a time and this one filled that void. Thank You.

Great Story with a HEA

Loved the characters, the plot, the twist and turns, the action and adventure make for a wonderful story.

The Story is Great!

These stories from Ella Maven were what got me started on all of her books.. It is too bad the narration is in my opinion AWFUL!!! The woman whispers practically the whole book and the guy... is just waay to dramatic.. Please get another couple to redo these stories to give them there due!!
