Review: Not sure what I expected...and still not exactly sure what I got.

I picked up this book because the premise was intriguing. I did not realize it was a novella, which on the whole I tend to dislike as I find the stories move too quickly (making them even more implausible than their full length fiction counterparts: and the characters are under-developed making me less invested in them. That said the book read quickly, I finished it in a couple of hours; and at no point was I so bored that I thought about putting it down and not finishing it. Actually I was curious to see what happened because I never expected a book about alien domination to turn into a 70's style bodice ripper with a happy ending. Imagine my surprise. The second half of the book left me shaking my head allot and muttering, "Seriously"? to myself quite a bit; but like watching a train wreck I couldn't quite turn away. So...if you're curious and have a few hours to kill in which you don't want to think overly much; it's short, it's relatively cheap so why not go for it. Unless of course you have an aversion to rape and a wee bit of sexual torture, then perhaps you had best give it a pass.
