Not as good as Spin, by far. Personally, I would have liked more than a brief follow up on Tyler, Diane, and Jason, but I will finish the series.I have no idea where Wilson will go with the story!

I didn‘t think it was possible, but the situation in London, during the Blitz, just got even worse. The space-time continuum itself seems to be different than the history department‘s understanding of it. #audiowalk

A collection of vampire themed science fiction stories, written from the 1930‘s to the 1980‘s. I didn‘t remember I had this book on my shelf but I‘m reading my physical TBR and this book came up. It was a nice surprise with some pretty good stories. There were stories by Ray Bradbury and Roger Zelazny, two of my favorite authors from my childhood. Really there wasn‘t a bad story in the bunch.

Akin is the first male human-alien, with super-human/alien abilities—such as talking and adult-level comprehension at two months old. Anyone who has refused to mate with the aliens—resisters—are sterile. So on earth, kidnapping children is rampant. Akin is kidnapped by resisters and forced to live with a resister couple. Once he‘s recovered a year later, he has come to know and sympathize with the resisters. But he‘s still alien with all their ⬇️

Texreader their desires (see my review of book one) and biology. In other words, he must go through metamorphosis to become an adult, at which point he may not even resemble a human anymore. He‘s made it his life goal to find a way for resisters to survive and recover their ability to procreate, a monumental task, given that he is truly alien, the nemesis of resisters! All this, while also ensuring the aliens—his family—continue to thrive. ⬇️ 1d
Ruthiella This is such a great trilogy. Butler is never afraid to go to uncomfortable places and ask unanswerable questions. 24h

To be blunt, this trilogy is about human/alien hanky-panky. It‘s for folks who are comfortable with kind-of creepy ménage a trois.

Humans have finally destroyed earth in an all-out war. Aliens have saved the world and recovered and put to sleep the few remaining survivors until the aliens have healed the planet. Then the aliens have made the humans sterile, unless the humans will mate with them. ⬇️ #authoramonth

Texreader That‘s how the aliens survive, diversifying their own gene pools. These books are straight up alien porn. I‘m shocked previous reviews on Litsy don‘t point this out.

Lilith is awoken and then forced to awaken the first group of humans who will eventually go back to earth, and she‘s the first forced to mate with one of them and bear their children. Humans do what humans do, they become hostile to Lilith and one another, foreshadowing the ⬇️
