Intentional Abduction: Alien Abduction #2

Once again Langlais takes us out of this world with snark, sass, and a healthy dose of unmistakable chemistry. Wound throughout her suspenseful plot was the type of relationship that many of us wish for, even if it does start out on rocky shores. I loved watching the plot unfold, seeing the characters come together and realise what was right in front of them. Throughout, Langlais also continues to develop the galaxy in a manner that is easy for readers to picture, without ever hampering your imagination. I’m thoroughly enjoying the multiplicity of races and species that Langlais introduces us to. They’re all unique and well developed. The development spans morphology, general characteristics, personalities, and at times cultural histories. I can really picture them and am having a blast with the species names. The way in which Langlais develops her characters’ emotions is subtle yet poignant. I felt as if I were experiencing it alongside them. Anger and lust, fear and betrayal all shine through. Aylia’s quest was fantastic. Seeing her come into her own while chasing her mate revealed a great deal about her character. The vulnerability underlying Jaro’s personality is intriguing and makes him approachable. At the same time, he’s all alpha male and I couldn’t help falling for him. The cousins were a fantastic bit of comic relief. I loved getting to know them as individuals and the way in which they added to the story, giving us further insights into who Jaro really is. I can’t wait to see these two in their own story. This novel was definitely a welcome addition to Langlais’ Alien Abduction series. I devoured it in a single sitting and found myself immediately reaching for the next novel in the series.

I have not read one of her books that I have not fallen in love with, always left wanting more!!

Entertaining and a great read.
