Helpful Score: 1
I really enjoyed this book and look forward to seeing how the humans and aliens interact in future books as they (presumably) find a peaceful way to share the planet. I thought it was a nice twist that the aliens weren't made into big evil monsters (although that can make for fun reading too). They're human-like in appearance - tall with pointed ears, extremely analytical, and almost completely lacking when it comes to emotions (lol Spock comes to mind here!), but they're not out to just kill everyone willy nilly to have the planet all to themselves. They start off seeing humans as a primitive species, but discover that the remaining population is likely descended from their early explorers. This causes them to begin reevaluating how they view humans.
Although I discussed the aliens at length above, this book does not include constant day to day interactions with them. It's mainly about the couple (Jane and Caleb) and his two other brothers (Mick and Justin) and how they struggle to survive and thrive in their changed reality. I only wanted to add a bit to the good story descriptions written by the previous reviewers.
By the way, the next books in the "Resonance Mates" series are:
Davin's Quest: The story of Callie (empathic daughter born in bk 1), Davin (an Alvian engineer with naturally occuring emotions), and Richard St. John (human - tough survivor of the invasion that lived in the woods, and eluded capture until just before this book). Menage: m/f/m, no m/m
Jaci's Experiment: The story of Jaci (an Alvian who accidentally doses herself with a patch that unlocks the ability to feel emotions), David, and Michael (two humans that share a cell in the alvian compound). Menage: m/f/m, no m/m
Update - 8/19/09:
Grady's Awakening: The story of Gina (human martial arts expert that was taken captive, Grady Prime (top Alvian warrior that's been in all the books - good guy that willingly signs up for the emotion patch experiment so he can experience the feelings he's seen in the previously mated couples. You can tell in the other books that although he didn't have deep emotions, he still had some sense of longing for what the others had), and Jim (human - a former CIA agent that at one point trained with Gina before the aliens came). This book was released in e-book 8/18/09. The print version is supposed to be released "mid 2010".
