I've rated this book in relation to Gena Showalter's other written stories, not other authors' works. I particularly love her Otherworld Assassin (OA) series (& Lords of the Underworld), but this was barely worth my time. This was a really short book, but it seemed as if the entire story took place in a cell or the hero's bedroom; the sequence was a forest, cell, cell, bedroom, cell, bedroom. Really, love at first sight between a female AIR agent and the alien leader who just invaded Earth & may have a disease that spreads cannibalism through sex. The battle scene at the beginning of the book was the only interesting part. There was no intrigue, suspense, mystery; every time the male & female characters got together, they got together. Maybe this was just a quickie to satisfy OA fans, but churning them out sacrifices creativity, depth & quality dialogue/writing. However, I've come to expect more from this author. This story was a letdown. This seems to happen a lot with writers who do several books a year.
