I’m not sure if I will continue this series, but I’m definitely going to read more from Gena Showalter.Ridding the world of evil, one alien at a time: that’s Mia Snow’s mission. If you’re a fan of steamy enemies to lovers romances or tough as nails female characters, you’ll probably enjoy this book. That didn’t sit well with me, but she does turn the tables on him in the end. I’m not sure how I feel – SPOILER – about him kidnapping her to win her over.

They spend much of the book fighting their attraction.

It seems most of the aliens are humanoid but with secret powers lying beneath the surface. They hunt alien criminals who break the rules. She runs the Alien Investigation and Removal team of agents. In this first book of the series, we meet Mia Snow, a rising star in the Chicago PD. I didn’t know anything about the Alien Huntress series but I was game to dive into the audiobook. The salacious cover reminded me of the Silk Stalkings series on USA Network, which I adore and own several seasons on DVD.

I hadn’t read anything from Gena Showalter and decided to take on Awaken Me Darkly.
