This book started out rather intense and interesting. I really thought there would be great character development, great chemistry between characters, scene development, etc… just like the last book I read by this author. I didn’t get get all that.
What I did get was an interesting story plot with interesting characters. But, the characters really aren’t fleshed out and honestly I felt no connection between them or between myself as a reader and them as characters. I’m not sure if this is because it is the start of a new series and the author is developing the universe or not. I mean when an alien species says he just produced his individual mating call and the human woman responded, um if you just described his mating call what did her response sound like since it shocked him so profoundly?
It is just these little things that add up to one big ehh. I do like the drama and conspiracy. Like I said the plot is very interesting. I refuse to dismiss this series because it is a first in the series so I believe it will improve with each book.

Motok has been the top Braxthar general for years so is shocked to be reassigned to find human women who have the sacred mark who are being abducted and sold to slavers. Unable to find any alive, Motok arrives on Earth to find Kerra, who carries the mark. After saving her from capture he takes her to his ship, Vindicator. Utterly shocked by everything going on, Kerra gradually adjusts to the changes and begins to look at Motok differently. Motok meanwhile is trying to understand his own feelings toward the human. Once they return to Braxthar they discover that not everything is as it seems and Motok needs to make some choices. I received an advance copy of this book and voluntarily left a review.
Motok has been given a mission to find all human women who have been taken and sold by the slavers who bear the mark of the Vindar on their hands. When he is shown a video of a female who is raped and murdered by the slavers Motok is now on a mission to find all earth women who are in captivity and kill their slavers and return the women to Vindar. If he doesn’t, their planet is under threat.
Motok finds no women in captivity and when they get close to finding three life forms, the slavers kill them before they can be retrieved. The closest they get is finding three humans, one male and the two females, but they are killed before they get them away, the man lives long enough to ask them to let his family know that he tried to save her, he then says to Motok to find the Hargraves. He hands them an insignia from a uniform of the Interstellar Space Program.
Motok goes to earth and tracks down Kerra Hargraves and is watching her to find out why she resembles the woman in the video he was shown. Then one night he sees she is being attacked by the slavers and he goes to rescue her. He manages to kill the slavers, but he knows she is still in danger. Motok discovers while rescuing Kerra that she is his Venya which is she is his soul/bonded mate although this is forbidden for him to bond with her.
What happens in the rest of the story is lots of action and the bond between Kerra and Motok grows stronger and they finally mate. Their happiness is in danger and her life is constantly at risk. There is corruption in their governing bodies and there is a plan to breed human women with alien races. Then Kerra discovers that her sister Kacie is still alive. Reading the rest of the series is a must do. Will Voltus, Motor’s first be able to uncover their plot of cloning and bring them to justice and save the human females? Will Voltus be there when Kacie needs him? I guess we will have to wait for the next book.
