The Good: As I am not fond of her vampire series, I am liking this new sci-fi adventure for Kenyon. The characters have been engaging and mostly likable. The setting is great and leaves a lot of room for more people and places easily. Action, angst and sex all combine in this book to give you a pretty good read.

The heroine was a tough cookie and I liked her spunk, if not her honesty. She was a survivor and I think this book showed much of the adage "best of two bad options." She grew a lot in this book, and while I liked her in the beginning, I liked her much more in the end.
The hero is a guy you could take home to Mom and Dad, he is really that good of a guy. He showed love and compassion and knew how to kick serious butt. (Rock on, Devyn)

The Bad: So far in this series everyone has been lying their heads off. Maybe it is a personal quirk but it really annoys me. Forgiveness has played a major role in her romances so far in this bunch of books, and whether that is because they are older ones where she had to re-write them for the romance audience or this was the original theme I am not sure, but if you aren't looking for flawed heroes/heroines don't pick up the book.
And please, for the love of all that is holy, spell the names normally! It starts off cute but it wears thin really quick to have all of the characters names spelled phonetically.

Overall: I enjoyed the book and will probably invest in the next in the series to see how it continues. I am hoping with the re-writes being completed that we will see more of the universe and more unique planets or races being introduced into the mix.
