RIDDING THE WORLD OF EVIL, ONE ALIEN AT A TIME: THAT'S MIA SNOW'S MISSION.
Snow is in the forecast.
In a time and place not too far away, Mia Snow is an alien huntress for the New Chicago Police Department. Heading up her expert team of Alien Investigation and Removal agents, Mia's unmatched at battling the elusive enemy among us, and she's the perfect girl for the job. She's seen her brother die at the hands of aliens. She's earned each of her scars. And she'll die before she cries. Now, a series of killings have Mia and her partner Dallas tracking alien suspects -- but a sudden blast of violence leaves Dallas fighting for his life.
They are ice and fire.
The chance to save Dallas appears in the form of a tall, erotic stranger. An alien. A murder suspect. Kyrin en Arr, of the deadly Arcadian species, holds the power to heal the injured agent but not without a price. For Mia Snow, that price is surrendering to Kyrin's forbidden seduction...and embracing their electric attraction. She's walking a knife's edge, risking her badge and even her life. The closer she gets to Kyrin, the more Mia learns about her own heart, her human needs -- and the shocking secret that will shatter everything she's ever believed.

Gena Showalter is one of my favorite writers with paranormal romance, but now that I've had a taste of her futuristic romance, she has totally blown me away. I loved her female character, who was strong, sexy, confident and even more sexy, which I think all of us females wish we were. I didn't want the story to end and I hope there will be a continuation where the other fabulous characters all end of up with someone to love.

Showalter disappointed me with this book. I was leery of her at very first but her other titles in the Atlantis series are really good but this one was slow in the beginning, and when the book got on track it slowed again. The herione in this book wasn't as memorable as the others from Pleasure Slave and The Nymph King.

I read the description of the book and thought I would give it a go, it seemed to have promise of at least a minimum amount of action. Sadly, I regretted paying for both the book and the shipping and handling. The love story is horribly, horribly contrived. There is little to no character development. The action is poorly written.
And let me just say something about the so-called erotic aspect. I do not find it alluring, sexually titillating, or at all intriguing to read about a man forcing a woman into a sexual relationship. It smacks of something disturbing. The love story is shoved on the reader as well, there is no rational, or even emotional stimulus, for the characters to form a bond. It just happens, and we as readers are supposed to just smile and say OK.
I would like a little more quality writing. I enjoy the sexy bits as much as anyone else, but there needs to be a buildup. Also, if you, as a writer want to write solely about various erotic situations, that's great. However, don't pretend like its an action packed thrill ride complete with a paranormal mystery.

Mia Snow is a top cop with the Alien Investigation and Removal unit. She runs around dealing with illegal immigrants from a long way away, and extreme violence is good when it is necessary.
A partner is critically injured and she ends up in a relationship of sorts with an alien that reveals something about who she actually is, and why she can do what she can do better than other humans.
Rated by buyers -
Strong female characters attract my attention, so I was drawn to Awaken Me Darkly by the foreboding Mia Snow. But what made me lay my money on the counter to buy the book was the description of Dallas Gutierrez set as a teaser in the front of my edition. Good Lord. Give me a partner like that any day of the week. Mia who? Oh, is that little girl going to factor into this story? That's nice...get back to Dallas...
So you can imagine how upset I was when Dallas got injured (great foreshadowing and leading into that on Gena Showalter's part, by the way), but the novel didn't just leave me disappointed there. Mia continued working with her other partners (even though some of that felt contrived, but, hey, when you've only got 306 pages, what's a writer to do?) and fighting for Dallas's life and working to rid society of evil bad guys. Now, I expected Mia to save Dallas, sacrificing herself in some way in the process, and end up sweating up the sheets with him. So imagine my surprise when Dallas remained impotently in a hospital bed while the alien huntress alternately beat up and slept with his enemy. Somehow, the talented Ms. Gena Showalter brought it all together with a satisfying ending. Wonderfully.
That's a gifted storyteller.
