The Six Saviors series continues with all the great elements that make these books what they are, plus some new fun ones added in for good measure.The formula remains the same. Big, tall, sexy alien hero teaming up with other hunks to save the world. Creepy villains that like to kill. Spunky girl who proves to be his match in every way and steals his heart.Yet Nico is a new Savior and he is a nice addition. After the death of Talin, it was hard to imagine anyone else fitting in but Nico felt like part of the family right off. He and Blake have managed to fill the void, though I do still miss Talin.Alaina is a smart girl with a dark past and a lot of baggage. I liked that she wasn't innocent or squeaky clean. That she's a stripper that isn't ashamed to do what she has to do to survive made me like her even more. The girl has spunk.I also liked the added element of a group of villians this time as opposed to just one. The Platoon are still a problem, as are the colonists and now they may just become one huge threat the Saviors. There are a lot of balls in the air and players in the game and I wont' give away too much and spoil it. Let's just say things are heating up and I can't wait for the next book and answers to the many questions I have after reading this one.Other elements of this book I enjoyed were a peek into Noah and Abby's married life. Everything is definitely not perfect, but that's life after the happily ever after. The Light Within Me continues to be my favorite of the SS books, so it was great for me to see them in the aftermath struggle a bit and find their way back to each other again. And one element that I always enjoy is the banter between the guys. I found the scene between Blake and Jovan with their cookies and milk to be hilarious. There were other little nuggets like that throughout the book that reminded me of the days before Talin's death where things were a bit more lighthearted and I loved every line of it.Going forward, I can see this series taking several different turns. I'll be interested to see which ones the Saviors take ... especially when it comes to Blake and a love of his own. (hint, hint, Author!)I received an ebook copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review. I was not compensated in any way and my opinions are my own.
