Week 9 Review: The Segonian

From Goodreads:

New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall brings readers the second stand-alone novel in a thrilling new sci-fi romance series full of action, humor, and happily-ever-afters.

Eliana's life has never been what one might term ordinary. At least, it hasn't been for a very long time. As a powerful Immortal Guardian, she spends her nights hunting and slaying psychotic vampires that most of humanity doesn't even realize exist. Then an opportunity arises that instantly makes her extraordinary existence seem downright boring. The leader of the Immortal Guardians asks her to guard a group of mortals who are embarking upon a voyage across the galaxy to the planet Lasara. How could she possibly say no?

In no time at all, Eliana is hurtling through space on board a Lasaran battleship and getting to know not one but two alien races. It's the most exciting adventure of her long life... until the ship is unexpectedly attacked. Amid the chaos and destruction that follow, she valiantly helps everyone she can before an explosion renders her unconscious. When Eliana awakens, she finds herself alone, floating in space, clad only in a spacesuit, with no ship in sight. Alone--that is--except for the warm, deep voice that carries over the comm in her helmet.

Commander Dagon and the crew of the Segonian battleship Ranasura respond to a distress call from their Lasaran allies and join a massive Alliance-wide search-and-rescue mission. He quickly achieves communication with a lone Earthling female and races toward her. Every time they speak, his fascination with her grows and he becomes more desperate to reach her before her oxygen supply runs out. Her strength, bravery, and humor entice him, even more so when she defies all odds and they meet in person.

As he and Eliana embark upon a quest to find her missing friends, a bond swiftly grows between them that deepens with every laugh and smile and tender touch they share. But they are not the only ones searching for Earthling survivors. When Eliana herself becomes the hunted and their enemies begin to close in, can the two of them fight their way to victory, or will their enemies take everything? 

My Review:
Wow, this was such a fantastic read! I loved the first book (and this world so much) and yeah, the whole concept of if they're going to find her in time before she runs out of air-I couldn't put it down! I needed to know what was going to happen next! It was a really engaging hook, and start to this book!

I mean, we knew that she was going to make it, there's a whole book about her and Dagon, so of course she was going to live, but still, in the moment, that beginning was tense, and I couldn't put it down! Plus there was the humour, which continued throughout, she was such a great character to read about! We previously met her in Broken Dawn, and I'm so glad that she got a full length novel, I loved her and Dagon, I loved their relationship together! 

I really enjoyed the plot of facing against the bad guys, falling in love. The threat that the Gathendians pose while they're searching for any other survivors, this book is fast paced and funny and I just couldn't put it down!

Between their intruder, and that ending, I'm really excited to see where the sequel goes, because it's another couple, and I really hope that we get their story, because it seems like they've been through the wringer, and I want to see the story of them finding their happiness! 

Absolutely loved reading this book, and I can't wait for the next book!
