Rating: 3 out of 5

When I first began reading this book I thought the premise sounded familiar and realized if the aliens were vampires instead you would be reading "The Vampire Coalition" by J.S. Scott.  To Ms. Smith credit her book was published first by several months which makes me wonder if Ms. Scott took certain ideas from this series. I do agree with some of the readers that this story ended poorly, I felt as if there were several chapters missing in the end and I can only surmise that Ms. Smith will follow up on this story with book two, three and four as she gets into the other characters lives. For that reason I gave three stars.What I disagree with is the people who read this book and destroy the rating based on the grammatical errors they found in the book. As a self published writer it takes a lot of work to not only write and publish your work but to get others to read it. A lot of authors put their work on fan fiction where others who read it point out the errors for the author to fix. Fifty Shades started there and even after it was edited several times and finally released to the public by a profession publishing company there are errors to be found. I'm sorry but I'm sick of readers who feel like they have to take a red pen to someone else's work in the form of star ratings. Personally I would like to see some of these readers attempt to write and publish a book of their own. It takes money for a decent editor and in the world of self publishing that money is not always available. I'm sorry for $2.99 don't expect to get a perfect copy.  I think a book should be judged on its storyline and in this case I think Ms. Smith did a decent job of creating entertaining characters, enjoyable and sometimes funny sex scenes and overall an interesting plot. I would have gladly given her a four star rating if I felt this book gave me a sense of completion, still I would recommend it to read as light entertainment.
