Publisher's summary

Plagued by nightmares and panic attacks, seventeen-year-old Jax Mitchell wants nothing more than a life of seclusion with only her twin brother for company. So when he's kidnapped by Earth's reclusive alien settlers, the E'rikon, she'll do anything to get him back--even form an alliance with a teenage E'rikon boy left behind by the same ship that took her brother.

Jax agrees to act as a guide, and in return, the alien agrees to sneak her past the human-proof barrier surrounding the E'rikon city. Too bad it's not that simple. Jax soon finds that she's drawn to the alien boy with bright green hair and jewel-like scales on his back--and he's equally affected by her, the courageous redhead with haunted eyes. But she doesn't know the alien's true motives, and he has no idea that she is much more than she seems.

With the aliens and the humans at odds, the connection forming between the two teens has consequences. What started off as a rescue mission sets in motion a chain of events that threatens not only the remaining humans and the growing alien society, but Earth itself.

Great Narration!

Andrea Emmes' narration of the story really soothes you into the book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Broken Skies?

I wasn't too keen on the story itself I'm afraid.

Her calming voice is by no way jarring to take you out of the story.

Forbidden Romance and a Broken World

What did you love best about Broken Skies?

I loved Theresa Kay's world and how I got swept into it. It was familiar yet different enough to captivate the mind. The characters had depth especially the main character, Jax. She was tough but broken, just like people in real life.

What other book might you compare Broken Skies to and why?

I'm not really sure. It had hints of several sci-fi books and should appeal to those who like dystopian as well.

What does Andrea Emmes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She was amazing. She got Jax's panic attacks down perfectly and the accent she gave the alien characters was so much fun to listen too.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. It propelled me through multiple loads of laundry.

Any additional comments?

I listened to this in two days and it was the perfect way to get away while still getting work done. I can't wait for the sequel.
