I'll be honest, this is the first book I've read by Ms. Sizemore of her Prime series. In this story, Zoe is disguised as a Navy Lieutenant and is taken with all the other prisoners to a POW Camp deep underground. Not only are their POW humans, but other races as well, and they don't all get along. In fact, one of the races eats humans for breakfast! Who can sleep at night knowing that's down the hall?
The General of the POW Camp is Matthias "Doc" Raven, who has his own set of rules for the camp. Number one is no escaping. Zoe must find a way to survive in the dark camp, keep her secret, and fight her attraction to the Prime Doc. But soon, the two can't seem to stay away from one another, and when Zoe's secret is revealed, Doc feels he isn't good enough for her and pushes her away. It may mean his death, but he refuses to put her or the Empire in jeopardy because his heart is breaking.
The whole story line was very easy to follow, the complexity of the different cultures was unique and easy to understand as well. The characters were awesome and everything had a raw basis of sexuality...and it works well for the book. This book is Kenyon's League meets Ward's brotherhood with a splash of Riddick. It is a bit simple, straight forward story without any surprises, but the characters and the vivid writing makes up for it. I tend to skip a lot if the story fizzles out. I know, (insert eye-roll here) but no skipping here. I enjoyed reading every page, despite the fairly predictable story line. Because I liked the characters and the interaction between them. Almost a keeper.
