Product Description
HALF HUMAN, HALF MACHINE...ALL WOMAN Mishka Le'Ace was created to be an undercover operative...literally. Her beautiful body has been mechanically augmented to give her superhuman strength -- strength she's going to need. Her latest mission sends her to rescue Alien Investigation and Removal agent Jaxon Tremain from torture and death. With him, she discovers a passion unlike any other. A passion she was forbidden to know.... From the moment they meet in a darkened cell, Jaxon craves her touch. But the machine half of Le'Ace forces her to do things she doesn't always want to do. Even betray him...and ultimately destroy him. Now Jaxon must battle the man controlling Le'Ace, and even Le'Ace herself, to at last claim the woman he's come to love.

This Book Was Way Too Good to Savor Slowly! October 12, 2009
Kathy E. (Bristol, CT)
The previous book in this series, Enslave Me Sweetly, was so good; instead of waiting one trillion years for my library to order it, I immediately downloaded from Kindle. Now that's saying something, there are only a few authors who I consider buy worthy, as oppose to library worthy.
Mishka Le'Ace was built to be the ultimate ghost assassin, part machine, part animal, part alien and part human. Created and raised in a lab, enduring and surviving painful experiments to ensure she is near indestructible, even suffering with a chip in her head, which can be activated to kill her at anytime, should she fail, step out of line or try to escape her owners.
She is ordered to rescue or kill (depending on the situation) Jaxon Tremaine, an A.I.R. agent who has been kidnapped and tortured by a group of Delenseans aliens, bent on extracting classified information from Jaxon by any means necessary. The classified information that Jaxon alone possess is coveted by all sides (including Mishka) and make him a target. Little does Mishka know that this encounter with Jaxon is about to change the course of her life forever.
This series gets better and better with each installment. All the old players are back, Mia, Kyrin, Eden, Dallas, Devyn and Lucius. The story was filled with excitement, blazing hot sex scenes, plenty of action and clever ingenuity. I highly recommend this book and series to dark urban fantasy readers and look forward to reading the next book in the series Seduce the Darkness.
I also recommend:
Skinwalker (Jane Yellowrock, Book 1)
Dark Time: Mortal Path Book 1
Red-Headed Stepchild (Sabina Kane)
Destined for an Early Grave (Night Huntress, Book 4)
Pleasure Unbound (Demonica, Book 1)
An awesome read September 7, 2009

This book was really good. I love all of Gena Showalter's books. She is an amazing author. You need to check out all her books, from Lords of the Underworld to her Alien Huntress novel's. They are all awesome series to read.
 Characters are devoid of humor, few action scenes, lots of boring "needing" August 19, 2009

This is the third book in the Alien Huntress series and I really did not like it all that much. Compared with the previous two books this one definitely fell solidly into the romance category; way too much page space was given to the main characters needing each other, owning each other, and forgetting what they were doing because they weren't together.
In this book Mishka rescues Jaxon (he appeared as Mia Snow's co-worker in the first Alien Huntress novel) from torture by Otherworlders. Mishka is a Shadow, an assassin that kills Otherworlders to protect humans. She is supposed to get information from Jaxon about a virus that a new type of Otherworlder has brought to earth. The virus turns humans into flesh-eating monsters of a sort. Of course, as you might imagine, Mishka and Jaxon hit it off pretty well. This is complicated by the fact that Mishka is part machine and her actions are controlled by a computer chip in her brain.
The characters from the first two books join Mishka in this novel. Eden and Lucuis really do not play a large role. Mia Snow plays a slightly larger role than Eden or Lucius; but mainly she is a jerk like in the first book. It would be helpful to have read the back-stories on Mia and Eden, but not necessary to understand the plot of this book. The only ray of light in this book for me was Mishka's conversations with her internal computer; some of those were a tiny bit funny.
There were so many things that I didn't like about this book I am not sure where to start. First of all Mishka isn't a strong character. She is distracted and whiny and needy almost the whole book; the only place she shines is in her kick-butt fight scenes...but those are rare. Jaxon, who I actually liked in the first book, sheds all his personality in this book and turns into an obsessed/possessive character. In fact Jaxon is just about absent of any personality outside of his unexplainable obsession with Mishka. Why are Jaxon and Mishka attracted to each other? This remains a mystery to me; I guess we are just supposed to accept that they are.
Mishka and Jaxon's obession basically destroys what could be an interesting story line. In every scene they are apart (or together) Mishka and Jaxon can't work because they are thinking about each other. The whole thing was pretty intense (not in a good way), and pretty boring to read about for 300+ pages. The plot could have been very interesting with the new alien race and viruses and all. The action scenes also weren't as prevalent in this book and were constantly interrupted by Mishka or Jaxon worrying about each other. There were a lot of sex scenes and, while they were a bit more creative than in "Enslave Me Sweetly", they still weren't all that great. I also missed the humor in this book. Both Mishka and Jaxon were 100% devoid of any humor what-so-ever and that took a lot away from the story.
The main plotline with the virus is never well resolved either. I am assuming it continues in Book 4 "Seduce the Darkness" of this series. I own book 4 and will eventually read it, but for now enough is enough. There was so much mush and needing/owning each other junk in this book that I fear, if the next one follows in this book's path, my eyes will fall out my head from me rolling them so much. After reading the first three Alien Huntress books in a row these books are also starting to feel a bit formulaic to me. Maybe I just need to clear my head with something a bit more substantial before I read another one.
Not what I was hoping for June 13, 2009

I am a big fan of Gena Showalter. I love the alien huntress series. This book had a good plot it was just executed wrong.
*Spoilers* In the beginning Jaxon was this calm and collected man who would always stand by Mia Snow and Dallas' side. In this book he was a total jerk. He was willing to sever the ties with his friends to keep a woman who he had only known for a few days. Another factor that lowered my opinion of the book was Miska L'Ace. I really don't like her character. And I think the story often puts her in the position of the victim. And I never really felt pity for her. This is a woman who has strength and years of combat under her belt. And she is constantly being taken advantage of. But she doesn't try to revolt because she's scared. Doesn't make sense, but ok I'll deal with it. The one thing that gets me upset is the fact that she made Mia Snow look like the bad guy in the whole book. Mia Snow was the first character introduced in the series. She is already a favorite in the series. Why would one attempt to make her out to be the sensless hothead? The reasons why Mia hates Miska are understandable. She has every right to hate her. And it just made me hate Miska's character more and makes me dislike Jaxon for constantly defending her. I think the story would've been better if it didn't insist on making Miska look like an innocent and Mia look like the jerk. I can't really explain how I felt after I read this book. I just hope the next book is better.
