The Alien's Battle

Outcasts of Corin, Book 3

De: Ella Maven

Narrado por: Reagan West, Gabriel McKnight

I offer myself as bait . . . but am I really just a pawn?

Trix: The red aliens make me a deal I can't refuse-help them fight their enemies and they'll rescue my friends. I agree to act as bait to lure the blue Drixonian leader. But the heated, knowing look in his violet eyes makes me suspect I made a bargain with the wrong aliens . . .

Kutzal: This female isn't like the others. She's prickly, cold, and shot me with an arrow. I want her. But she thinks I'm the enemy, and unless I can find a way to communicate despite our language barrier, her friends will be the ones at risk. I never back down from a battle, so this is one I will win. And then I'll claim my mate.

Contains mature themes.

Splinter meets Dracula

i was there for the male narrators choices in the other stories I goota call foul on this one. While I loved the emotion and the joke that accent was off. He should have stuck with his portrayal from the other stories. No one finds that a cent sexy no matter how jacked the male is. However, all in all a great story as always.

Great story again

But the male narrator is horrible!!! I absolutely hate his annoying voice ( sounds like an annoying samurai master) but the female voice did an amazing job.

best one yet

this book was the best one in the series so far. glad past characters from prior series are in it. like that there wasn't any filler and the plot flowed great. book 3 was great then book 1 then book 2 in that order so far...
male narrator is still terrible but all in all it was a good book.

Ambiguous Accent

Like the rest of Ella Mavin’s stories in this universe, this is a very fun and sexy adventure. Reagan West did a phenomenal job narrating all of the characters involved. Unfortunately, Gabriel Knights decision to give Kutzal a very strange and ambiguous accent took me out of the story every time a chapter was from his pov. It was a super weird move imho given that everyone else in the story speaks with an American accent. Other than that this was a blast

Great characters.

Wonderful story will keep you entertained the whole time. The female narrator does an amazing job. This story is well balances, spice, romance, adventure and HEA.
The only downside is the male narrator kind of sound like a Mexican Yoda which I did not find sexy.

Exceptional installment!

I have adored all of the books in the Drixonian universe. No 2 books are similar in plot and none of the series duplicate the challenges the main characters inevitably become involved with as well as how the interactions begin or how the

Great story and plenty of steam!

The heroine: Trix - 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 escaped and crashed on the planet Corin, which is populate by several races of aliens. The women are afraid of all alien races after what happened to them, so they try to stay within their own group on Corin until one night their camp is attacked and they are abducted again by aliens. Each of the women ends up in a separate place, with different aliens. Trix ends up with a race called the Jocktal, she is told by them that the Drixonians have abducted some of her friends for the purpose of breeding and she can help by shooting their leader with an arrow tipped with a knock out drug, so they can use him as leverage to get her friends back.

The Heroes: Kutzal - he is a Drixonian male, and the leader of the outcast clavasse. The outcasts are sons of deserters and are looked upon as if they were the ones that deserted. His race used to live on Corin but left after a virus wiped out their female population and they left Corin by choice. Now, only now after the war ended, have returned to their home planet. They found it changed and other races had moved in and made it their home. The Wutarch’s, were the worst of them and are now at war with the Drixonians after the Drixonians found out they were working with the Jocktal, who are new to Corin, but are working towards eliminating the Drixonians.

The Story: Trix initially believe the Jocktal after they showed her a picture of a Drixonian male carrying one of her friends over his shoulder. So, she helped them capture Kutzal. Though she felt a pull towards Kutzal and it wasn’t long before she started to believe that she was being used by the Jocktal. She helped him escape, though she didn’t really trust him until she got her translator updated and could finally understand what he had been trying to tell her.

I liked the fact that this veered a bit further from the first two books in that Kutzal didn’t want a mate even after knowing that Trix is his fated mate, not because he is an outcast, but because he is the leader and has already lost too many people, including his whole family. He knew he couldn’t handle getting a mate only to lose her later. He felt deeply each time one of his warriors was lost. I also liked that Trix was a strong character, she was the hunter of the group of females and made her own bow and arrows. Each of the women were experimented on when they were originally abducted and had a special ability, but they also had some sort of drawback because of it. Trix felt pain with skin-to-skin contact, though sometimes when she was the one who did the touching, the pain was delayed.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Gabriel McKnight and Reagan West. 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, and is able to use different tones for different characters. However, in this book, his voice for kutzal was very deep and raspy with an odd accent. It reminded me of a mix between Master Splinter from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Count Dracula from Transylvania.
