What the hell?! Why do we keep getting stories that are BEFORE the last one? It is just filler and frustrating. Kain was one dimensional in prior books and barely got above that in this one. Raina was not someone I liked in prior books either. so here we go again with two MCs I could care less about. I ended up liking Kain but he was no Tarak or Ry or Kalan. Just had too little personality. Still did not like Raina. Too scared and way too soft. She kept making him let the bad guys go. What a stu...

4.5 Electric Kordolian StarsGoodness, I love these Kordolian Warriors from Kythia. Who doesn't love when a total bad ass falls head over heals for you. In this installment we find out finally who blew up Fortuna Tao the mining asteroid where it all began. I can't wait to find out which warrior falls next.

.Erin's friend from the station, Riana gets put under Kail's guard. Neither is too happy about it, but it turns out that it's in the nick of time, as someone wants Riana dead.Kail was an interesting character. He's like the other fearsome Kordolians, but his background is rather mystical. Riana has some trouble with anxiety but is determined to not let it hinder her life. It wasn't a big part of the story thankfully. She's a super hacker with a kinda Robinhood background.Together they manage to

A silver-elf-alien 3.5 stars.Wow- found another alien-hero author I enjoy!I was a bit bummed when I realised I had finished all of Ruby Dixon's Ice Planet, Corsair and dragons books- how was I going to feed my weird alien obsession? And why do I have one? (Are earthmen really so blah that I need an ET to woo me??)Yes, know, I started with No 7 in this series, but looking at the blurbs this one appealed to me the most, so I read it first. Just to test it. (There is just so much bad schlock out th...

Meh. Reading Order reminder: Bk 1,4,5,7,2,3,4.5,6,8.It's a return to the imbalance between the hero and heroine, which I didn't love. Riana was more damsel than badass, and the things she's supposed to bring to the table to make me believe in any equality between her and Kain is pretty nonexistent. Her strength is different from the others (again a plus in my book), and she's an awkward hacker heroine, which is normally my fave. Towards the end, you get to see a little more of that ingenuity, bu...

Another satisfying installment to this series. I did enjoy the hero and heroine both in this read. However, I wanted more in the sense of them communication to one another. I don't think either of them ever truly used the phrase "i love you" to each other. I get that both of these characters were somewhat of introverts and worked alone, but I wanted more communication between them as a couple. It felt like something was missing between them. It would have made their relationship have a more soli...

The weakest of the series so far. The heroes are starting to seem interchangeable and this heroine wasn't as compelling.

This 7th entry into the Dark Planet Warriors world(s) brings back front and center the harsh cruelty of the Kordolians. These are the tough guys you want on your side, because they are Scary, with a capital "S." They are the ultimate predators of the universe, and this book gives us plenty of opportunities to see why. Here are just three examples:1) "Kail snarled. These Humans did not understand their place in the Universe. They were about to learn.2) And now he was panicking, because a landside...

"Revenge." The way he said it, as if it were a regular, everyday occurrence, like breakfast or taxes, sent a chill down her spine. "We Kordolians do not take attempts to kill us lightly."This started out strong, wobbled a bit in the middle, got stronger again . . . and then had a very, very weak ending. I wish I'd liked it more because I was highly interested in Kail's story, but alas. Still chugging away at the series though since overall it's yet to lose my appreciation and the general world-b...

I enjoyed Riana and Kail's story. There was lots of action but the ending fell a little flat for me. Riana's "nerdy" ways and dark-web capabilities are impressive. It's nice to see a heroine appreciated for her brains and skills.Kail was a hard nut to crack and it took me a while to warm up to him. His decision about Riana is taken quite suddenly...a little insta-love.

Got 1 over left but couldn't be bothered continuing on with the book. Didn't like the romance in this at all.

Ever since the invasion by the Kordolians of the mining station Fortuna Tau Riana has been afraid of the scary aliens. But not as scared as she was of the cockroack like Xargek who want to eat every lifeform they come in contact with in the galaxy. Riana finds the Kordolians handsome despite their otherworldliness. The Kordolians First Division has been battling the Zargek who were discovered to have a hive below the sands in Egypt within some catacombs near the pyramids. The First Division has

Amazing Go start at the beginning of the series you won't be disappointed, this author is one of the best and this particular set of books are brilliant!

Serious action!If it wasn't for the typos this would be a 5 star book. The characters, the action, the plot, the supporting characters... all brilliant! Just get a better editor or a beta reader with some decent proof-reading skills next time. That said, the story was too good to let the errors put me off. I'm gonna be so sad when I get to the end of this series :( 10 First Division warriors and I'm on Book 7... sigh...

Well, hell.As much as I enjoyed getting back into this series with the last book, Forged in Shadow, I felt let down by this next installment.I hate it when my expectations get too high. Carven does a decent job here, but nothing that knocks this out of the ballpark for me. The action is Earth-side, with mysterious, shadowy organizations and Darkweb info hacking. Our heroine, Riana, is a wilting pansy who constantly needs a rescue and an inhaler (I threw in that last part, but you know what I mea...

This series is wonderful if you love Sci-fi romance with badass aliens that take no bull!!

Yes!Again, I was sucked into this world and couldn't put the book down. I would recommend this series to anyone who loves sci-fi romance.
