The Alien's Sacrifice

Outcasts of Corin, Book 1

De: Ella Maven

Narrado por: Reagan West, Gabriel McKnight

Amber: The blue alien warrior pacing in his cage terrifies me. His long dark hair is wild and messy, and his scarred body looks made for murder. I deliver food to him every day, and I'm sure by the way he stares at me that he'd rather eat me. Yet there's something about him that captivates me, and I can't stop watching him. When he lets the snarling, fearsome mask slip, I start to see there's a cool calculation to his actions. I would be risking everything to help him escape, but do I dare let this monster free from his cage?

Vinz: Getting captured on purpose is not my favorite activity. The food sucks, the guards beat me as their favorite pastime, and more than anything, I miss a good flask of spirits. But I'll endure all of that for her—the human. She walks like she's floating, has a voice as soft as Fatas herself, and always gives me the fullest food bowl.

As long as I'm here, I can ensure she's safe. Until my hands are forced. Until suddenly she's a vulnerable female in my hands. Until her entire fate rests on me, the outcast of the outcasts. They think I'm a monster? I haven't even come close to my final form, and for her, I'll be the worst beast of all.

Contains mature themes.

Narration was great. I enjoyed both narrators performances.

Stemming heat and funny

If you like this author then she won’t disappoint. If you haven’t read or listen to this series you should give it a chance. Deep romance but how love can bloom from any situation.

really good!!!

This is a really good story. The narrators we're great, dual narration. A lot of these types of books are similar and these have similar parts but a different overall story line that was really good!!!

Good start to a new spin-off series

My only complaint really is that all of the names are pronounced slightly differently than in previous books which is jarring and frustrating. I really enjoyed Reagan West as a narrator, very talented and she has a deeper voice than most female narrators which I liked.

* Be aware the summary included is incorrect and is actually for the next book *

Great storyline

This book moved fluidly and developed the characters seamlessly. I look forward to the other books.

good story, not my favorite narrators

I enjoyed the story a lot. There was action, the romance felt well paced, there was some spice. I also appreciate that this felt like a complete story. there is build up for the next book but it didn't end on a cliffhanger.
My only qualm was the narration. I'm not crazy about dual narration, I prefer duet narration or just a single narrator. the other issue I had was that the male narrator has a bit of strange manner of speaking. he's kind of stiff but I think it's his accent or something. it was especially jarring during any steamy scenes that he narrated. the female narrator was decent.

good

the story was good. the ending needed to be longer. narrators were okay , not the best. all in all it was good

The heroine: Tasha - she and other human women are on the planet Corin. They had all been abducted from earth by aliens, they were mistreated and experimented on to the point where they had been altered and each has special abilities then they were tossed out like trash. They have had to fight for their freedom every day since then, even since they had started to make a life on Corin. They have all kinds of weapons that they keep close, some made by them, some were from their former captors. Corin was a big planet with a massive population, so they had to be careful wherever they were. Tasha is the de facto leader of the group and peacekeeper.

The Story: One of the women who could see the future, said they should leave their encampment, but Tasha knew the others were tired, so she decided they would wait until the following morning. But in the night, something attacked, some kind of huge alien with massive wings, large tusks, and snouts and they flew away with the women one by one. Tasha had an enhanced sense of smell and the smell that came before the attackers was awful. Tasha felt a tremendous amount of guilt for making the decision not to leave till morning.

The Hero: Lukent - he is a Drixonian male, an outcast. His race used to live on Corin but left after a virus wiped out their female population and left Corin by choice and only now after the war, have returned to the planet. They found it much changed and other races had moved in and made it their home. The Wutarch’s are the worst of them and the Drixonians were trying to find peace between the two races, despite the fact that the Wutarch’s were an awful race that treated their females terribly. Lukent’s clavasse was different than some of the other Drixonian clavasse’s. They are the outcasts of their race, the sons of deserters, and Lukent feels that they will never find mates.

I liked that this story started out a bit different than most alien romance. Not that they weren’t captured from earth by aliens, but that instead of immediately being sold into the sex trade, they were genetically modified and then left stranded on an alien planet. Then when they were kidnapped again by a savage race, it was to be sacrificed to their god and for their enjoyment.

When Lukent hears a human female scream towards the camp of the Wutarch’s, he sees that she is being held captive by the Wutarch’s. He knows he is not supposed to be in their territory, but he couldn’t live with himself if he doesn’t save her, especially after he knew she was his all. Though it will definitely not be helpful to the peace process, and his race doesn’t have any warriors to lose in another war.

The storyline about Tasha wanting to find her friends was a good one. I also liked Lukent’s backstory about being an outcast. They were treated like second class citizens by their own people because of what their fathers did. They weren’t supposed to have mates, because they didn’t want their lines to go on. I loved the fact that Tasha didn’t care and wasn’t afraid to say it to anyone who would listen.

This audiobook was told in the main characters points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Reagan West and Gabriel Mcknight. Reagan West has an expressive voice that is a bit lower than I usually like for a female narrator, though that just means she is better at doing male voices than many. Gabriel Mcknight has a soft, not-so-deep voice, he might be a tenor or baritone and is able to use different tones for different characters.

Great story.

Wonderful characters , kind of slow and complicated at the beginning but gets much much better. The female narrator is excellent. The male narrator not so much kind of reminds me of asian cartoons which throws me for a loop when it's a hot and heavy scene.
