Electric Heart by Anna Carven
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Riana’s terrified of these fierce Kordolians. They fight like demons and possess strange alien technology which makes them damn hard to kill. After her nerve-wracking experience on the superfreighter Hendrix II, she wants nothing to do with them.
All she wants to do is live a peaceful Kordolian-free life back on Earth.
Too bad the Board of Corrections is on her case over past misdemeanors.
Too bad someone’s trying to kill her. She has no idea why.
Too bad the only one who can keep her safe is a scary-hot, silent alien with coldfire eyes and a very sharp sword.
But hey, at least she doesn’t have to deal with flesh-eating insectoid monsters anymore. The only monster she has to deal with now is a silver-skinned one named Kail.
And he’s more than a match for her attackers. That’s reassuring… right?Electric Heart

The heroine: Riana – she was a hacker who was caught ended up in the offender enlistment program had enlisted on Fortuna Tau as a peacekeeper. Though she lived through a nightmare of killer alien bugs and 7-foot-tall ebony clad silver warriors. After she was evacuated from Fortuna Tau, she ended up on a doomed freighter. She now had returned to earth and was told she had failed to meet the requirements of her service because she was one day short. She now has to serve another year of being tracked and watched by the Federation.
The Hero: Kail – He is a Kordolian known as the hunter, the bringer of justice. He was a tracker, a spy and sometimes an executioner. He is now working on Earth hunting the alien bugs called Zargek. He always works alone, and he hates humans. He can’t understand why some of the males he works with have gotten human mates. Though he did like the way the small female on the freighter looked at him when they were both on the freighter together.
The Story: Kail is tasked to do a job where he needs to protect Riana because she is the one hacker who can help do something they needed. They end up traveling across the Sahara. Kail is a fearsome warrior who often works on his own and is often able to take down a bunch of humans at a time despite being shot by their bolt guns. While Riana is soft and didn’t like it when he killed, so she often demanded he let their opponents go without killing them.
I did like the story. It was a journey and I like those types of stories where the two main characters go from place to place while falling for each other. I also like the fact that the Kordolians are so strong and nearly indestructible. They also have some cool tech, like the nanites that come out of them to create a suit of armor that protects them better than almost any type of armor humans could create.
This audiobook was told in dual points of view via solo narration and was narrated by Jillian Macie. I generally dislike any audiobooks that don’t have dual or duet narration, though I do really like Jillian Macie, she has a great voice and is terrific at showing emotion through her voice. She always does a terrific job and the same was true for this book.
