Intense, suspensful, with a touch of darkness and a side of humor. Alien pirates, a heroine kidnapped and trying to escape, and beliefs shattered when she realizes that good and bad are far from what she was led to believe. An excellent first book in a new sci-fi RH story and I can’t wait for the next installment!!

With this one book Skye MacKinnon has hooked me on another multi-author series, Planet Athion.
In this first book of Skye’s Trilogy in this world where Trads are kidnapping women to breed and Athions are trying to protect them. We meet Wren after the death of her last roommate, she is traveling to London to get to a sanctuary where hopefully she will be safe.
There are two Athions on the bus she is on and her human seatmate encourages her to go with them when they reach London. Giving her bodyguards on the way to the sanctuary. Unfortunately that is not how things worked out.
After introducing themselves Arri and Laki call for a taxi since Wren didn’t want to walk the half hour to the Sanctuary. She wanted to be away from these aliens, she wasn’t comfortable at all. While waiting Arri offers her a sweet, which she accepts after Laki has eaten one.
The next thing Wren knows she awakens on a spaceship, the Athions with her are not the protective aliens she was led to believe and she needs to find help somehow. In an ironic twist her rescuers are Trads, pirates because they didn’t agree with the current policies on their home planet.
What ensues are several twists and turns, Vuk and Rafaz are nothing but kind to her, but things go awry rather quickly.
A page turning read with tears and some giggles, as we traverse Wren’s experiences, both good and bad. I can’t wait to read the next book in this trilogy.
Long awaited Planet Athion series by Sky and it didnt dissapoint!!! I loved everything about this book and just couldn’t put it down, fantastically written with stunning and captivating characters, Multi layers of sub plots that are easily followed and wonderful action with romance. A must read for so many reasons. I am sure you will love these books as much as I did.
What an intense book! Whoa this is so different from most alien books I read. So as I am reading about Wren and all the things she has endured while living on Earth. She has seen tragedy and the losses she has had in her life you just can’t help but feel for her. Since the invasion she has been keep a low profile til the unthinkable happens. When she finally understands what is happening she realizes one thing she needs to escape. Sadly her attempt goes wrong! Rafek and Vuk come to her rescue. They do help her but she is weary. So what does she do? Can she go back to Earth? Will she trust them? Does she end up back in the hands of the Athions?
Ahhh, I need to know what happens because that ending just left me hanging! I need more like stat!
Wow great start to a new trilogy. A sci fi genre read with a fiesty heroine Wren and a pair of aliens. With excitement and dramA throughout keeping me glued to the page, I really need book two!
This is a good start to a RH series. There’s a lot of contrast in how the MC is treated. The world building is pretty interesting and 2 out of 4 aliens are really fun. I love their personalities and the little bit we get to know them. The other two are horrible. Would like to continue this series.
A really cool beginning, a cliffhanger, but still worth the read. I was really deeply invested in the story before I realized that it was a cliffhanger, but at that point, I didn’t even care. Wren is going through so much evil, disturbing and frightening things that I am totally invested in her struggle. The Trads are playing the long game, but the ending here has me dying to get my hands on the next book to see where it goes!
I have been waiting for the next set of books in the Planet Athion universe and Skye MacKinnon did not disappoint with Stolen by Them, the first book in her Between Rebels series. I absolutely loved this book! It is well-written, absorbing, emotional, intense, has captivating characters, heart-wrenching drama, edge-of-your-seat suspense and it is impossible to put down once you start reading. I read books one and two back-to-back in one sitting and I was so disappointed I did not already have number three in my hands to complete the series.
Reading Wren’s plight in this book shows a different side of the aftermath of the invasion and the good guys/bad guys. What she went through on earth, trying to keep a low profile and stay safe yet ending up in a horrible situation that takes her off earth and puts her in ultimate danger and then trying to cope with and survive the circumstances. The emotional and mental toll it took on her as well as the physical abuse she suffered was devastating and then not to know who to trust in the end when everyone looks and seems like an enemy…completely edge-of-your-seat read from start to finish. The storyline is fast-paced and engaging with several twists and turns and great characters. A great read and I cannot wait to see what happens next!
I love these multi-author collaboration books with a series. You get to read new authors and enjoy stories written about from several different views related to the Planet Athion series. Each author contributed book series can be read as a standalone series, but really why would you want to just do that when you can enjoy the entire Planet Athion universe and all the awesome authors writing in it. I have listed a reading order for the entire series, in case that helps, below.
The reading order is as follows:
1) Marissa Farrar – Darkest Skies
2) Lily Harlem – Equinox
3) Angel Lawson – Pioneer
4) Debbie Cassidy – Survivor’s Heart
5) Marissa Farrar – The Tradrych Strain
6) Skye MacKinnon – Between Rebels
*each author series includes three books and each set can be read as a standalone series within the main Planet Athion universe.
Just the absolute best story. It had me captivated from the beginning with the hot steamy scenes. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it! Everything I like to read about and more. Such a great story I will read again and again. A keeper!!

I must say this an interesting start to this story. Wren is fleeing in an effort to save herself from the aliens that have invaded but instead she is captured by two of them. When she wakes up the two Athions pretty much torture her so when she is rescued at first she is grateful until she finds out those that saved her are Trads which are supposed to be even worse. As luck would have these one are different though she does not know that and just as she starts to figure things out they are found leading to the cliff hanger ending. I cannot wait to see what happens next. A great beginning to a sci-fi RH series. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
Another great book by Skye MacKinnon. I enjoyed reading Stolen By Them. The story and characters are well written. The storyline kept my interest throughout. I recommend reading.

Wren goes through so much in this interesting and intense story. This is a short read about a woman who lives in a world where aliens are kidnapping women. Alien stories are not my thing but I am so glad I decided to give this one a chance because it turned out to be a great read. It ends in a cliffhanger so now I look forward to reading the next book to find out what happens next.
I have been in a book funk for a while, when I came across this book and thought to give it a try. Since space stories aren’t my usual go-to, I was a little sceptical about this book getting me out of my book funk. Boy am I glad I gave this book a chance!!!! Awesome writing, great characters, wonderful plot and overall an amazing story concept!
I am not ready for the book to be finished and will eagerly anticipate the next instalment of the series.
