5.0 out of 5 stars
Another fabulous book from GS, 27 Jun 2005
Imagine Lara Croft with more guns, knives and attitude and we come close to Mia Snow, a woman sick of the alien sympathisers who accuse her of murder. Since the arrival of the "off-worlders" over seventy years ago, most of the public only meet the friendly type intent on intergrating into Earth society and living a peaceful life. As a member of AIR (Alien Investigation & Removal), Mia tracks and executes those aliens no sane human would not wish to meet, ET's possessing super strength and mind powers who view Earthlings as either a tasty dessert or toys to be abused. However there is something far deadlier patrolling the streets than any nasty alien and her name is Mia Snow, a huntress with a formidable and dangerous reputation, fierce enough to cause grown men to lose bladder control and most aliens to quiver in fear.
I can sum this book up in one word - Fantastic. With it's imaginative and meaty storyline, memorable characters and hot bedroom scenes, this book will definitely remain on my keeper shelf to be read again and again. Mia is one of the best female lead characters I have come across; GS has created a truly awesome heroine who definitely deserves a lengthy series. After reading "Awaken Me Darkly", GS proves that the female of the species is far more deadlier than any male! I've become quite a fan of this author since reading "The Pleasure Slave" and "The Stone Prince" and gave both books 5 stars - if I could I'd give this book more.

Erotic, Hot And Steamy Stuff., 28 Jun 2005
Awaken Me Darkly by Gena Showalter
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.

Awaken Me Darkly, 2 Jun 2006
I just wanted to say that this book was absolutely brilliant and I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of buying it.
This was my first Gena Showalter book and I admit I was a bit worried about the futuristic aspect of the book, as I personally read just normal romance, historical romance and women's everyday fiction, but WOW did I get a surprise when I started reading it.
I started reading the book at about 7 o'clock on a Friday evening and I finished it about 5 o'clock the next morning, as I just couldn't put it down.
I have now gone and brought every other book she has written (The pleasure slave - The stone prince - Animal instincts - Jewel of Atlantis - Heart of the dragon) and I'm eagerly awaiting the rest of her books and when I say eagerly, I mean I'm counting down the days till the next one is realised, as I really cant wait to see what its going to be about.
Well I hope that helps if your thinking about buying it and please don't fret about the futuristic part, as it wasn't so far fetched it sounded silly and it really is a great action packed romance you will love.
