PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Confusing world-building mars the launch of bestseller Showalter's Otherworld Assassins series, in which a bewildering variety of aliens have taken refuge on Earth. Deaf, kindhearted Vika Lukas tries to protect the otherworlders captured by her father, Jecis, who runs a nightmarish zoo. When Solomon Judah, an Allorian employed by a shadowy government agency, is kidnapped, Vika cares for him as she does the other victims of Jecis's cruel ambitions. Torn between two other-dimensional entities one that seeks to protect him, one that urges him to embrace his innate violence Solo first vows to kill Vika once he escapes, but she refuses to be intimidated by his brutish nature or Jecis's sadism, and Solo begins to fall in love with her. Readers who enjoy a Beauty and the Beast tale with a truly despicable villain may appreciate this story, but they will need to get through the florid prose and some overlong scenes of brutality.
Customer Reviews
Eh
It was good, thrilling book as usual. However, it lacked the heat one comes to expect from a Showalter novel! Where's the sexual tension?
Awesome
I loved this book is was so amazing but I wonder if there's going to be another book to continue this one
Odd
It's hard to believe that this was written by GS the main characters had no chemistry and the heroine was not likable at all she came across as a whining teenager rather then an adult. I usually love Showalter's books but this one I had to force myself to finish because I was convinced it had to get better but it never does.
