Is it her destiny to save them … or destroy them? Now that Tori finally understands who she is and what’s expected of her, she’s in full-on freak-out mode. How will she save the galaxy from General Arantu’s clutches when she can’t even control her powers? Add that to the lack of retaliation by enemy alien forces, and everyone is on edge. Especially when they uncover evidence of a strange alien … Especially when they uncover evidence of a strange alien symbol with possible links to humans, and the mystery deepens, along with their frustration.
But that’s not the only thing keeping Tori awake at night.
Confused over the horrific vision she experienced the night of the Herassan attack, Tori is terrified of revealing details of her protectors’ supposed fate, so she says nothing. Keeping stuff hidden never ends well, and as evil forces conspire against Tori and her four protectors, secrets and lies threaten to destroy everything they hope to achieve. While Tori grows closer to Coop, Maddox, and Beck, Dane remains distant, creating more tension and jeopardizing their bond.
Then an unexpected newcomer arrives, casting suspicion over everything they believe they know.
When Tori finally figures out what’s going on, will she have time to warn the guys? Or is their fate already sealed?

Is it her destiny to save them…
Or destroy them?
Holy hell! All I can say is this: By 60%, I was stuffing myself with chocolate and pacing the goddamn room – I couldn’t relax at all because I knew things were going to go downhill from there. I needed to mentally prepare myself (but that did not help at all).
All the bloody twists and turns have aged me by 20 years – and gods, my anxiety levels were off the bloody charts towards that end.
This. This is read that will stun you, shock you, electrocute you and leave you struggling to breath. Such a marvelous, stunning sequel to this addictive and captivating series!
Full of aliens, secrets, twists and turns, surprises, attraction, deception, action, adventure, doubts, trust and romance.
Perfect for readers of paranormal reverse harem romances.
This book was even better than the first! The story took so many unexpected turns with lots of good romance along the way. I’m liking this genre even better after this book.
I love how Siobhan has developed Tori. She is a very realistic and relatable character as she faces each challenge and grows into her own. I also enjoyed seeing Tori’s relationship with the guys change. How their relationship is written is one of the reasons I love this new genre.
You learn more about the guys in this book, especially one in particular, who now is my favorite.
The last 75% of the book was very unexpected. I know answers will be given in the third book though, just like in this one, so I am excited to read Warrior Princess.
I voluntarily reviewed a complementary copy of this book.
This book has basically left me breathless…
How do I write my review? I feel like I’m an emotional wreck!
Don’t mistaken my anxiousness. I LOVED the book. I actually want to pick it up and read it again. Even with all its emotion and angst. Oh, I thought I was going to turn inside out at times. But I love these characters. That’s the thing!! I ADORE THEM!!! So when they’re dealing with so much, I’m falling apart!!
This second installment of the Alinthia series really brought Tori (Alinthia) closer to each one of her protectors individually. It was so nice to see each one of their personalities, and how they opened up to her. But, of course there are complications and they cause a lot of worry and angst for Tori (Alinthia) and the guys, and therefore we as the reader feel it along with them. I’m not going to say too much about what happens, because you need to read it to find out. But I will say that Siobhan Davis can write a book that you become so invested in while reading it, that it gets under your skin. And my skin is jumpy today! I need the next book ASAP!!! No pressure or anything Siobhan!! Lol!
I love how the writing of Ms. Davis can instantly transport me to whatever world she has created and help me lose myself in it. I can forget my “real world” problems and just relax into a tale that’s woven so creatively that I can quite honestly forget where I am.
I’ve never really been a big fan of Sci-Fi romance and alien type stories, but ever since the first book I’ve read by Siobhan Davis, I’ve been converted. She writes this world so well that it seems possible and even plausible. I love her take on how an alien could be ‘hidden’ on Earth. I like the ingenious vocabulary she creates to make new alien like names and words and places. Her imagination knows no boundaries and it’s extremely entertaining to read.
The characters in this story are so loyal and caring and protective of each other. From Tori and the guys, down to Tori’s friend, Kylie, and Tori’s mother, everyone seems to always be looking out for each other and there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of selfishness in the protagonists of the story. The villains, on the other hand, are written so evil, and so disgusting that you just LOVE to hate them. You want to see them annihilated and you want to see our heroes succeed in their missions.
I’m especially fond of some of the relationships between Tori and the guys. Tori and Dane have a very tension-filled dynamic and it’s both invigorating and agonizing to read through. I love the sensitivity shown in Beck’s character and how shy and sweet he is. Overall, I love that each of the male leads has such a distinctive personality and a different relationship with Tori herself. And I like how they work together and get along like brothers.
As is the style of our lovely Ms. Davis, there will be a cliffhanger at the end of this book, so you are forewarned! I’ve come to love these cliffhangers as much as they frustrate me (because I want more now, darn it!) and I’m very eager for book three’s release sometime last this summer!
If you’ve enjoyed any of Siobhan Davis’ previous work, you’ll probably find yourself enjoying this series just as much, but please start with The Lost Savior or you will definitely find yourself lost.
As part of the ARC Team, I received an advanced copy of this book, which I voluntarily reviewed.
