Earth is in decline, and the wealthy have fled it, leaving only the destitute citizens behind. And aliens.
Gemma McKinley works at a prison cleaning goop off the floors and serving food to inmates. When she is reassigned to the alien ward, Gemma is nervous. Aliens are dangerous and ruthless. They bite. But there is one that isn’t like them. Simon is damaged, starved, and wasting away in complete isolation. Touched by his loneliness, Gemma starts nursing him back to health, dismissing rumors that he’s high-risk, ignoring the advice to let him croak.
Simon despises humans. His only goal is to get off this miserable planet fast, for he is hunted by a scientist obsessed with perfecting the human race. Simon’s rare alien genes are just the ingredient that’s missing for breakthrough research. Thanks to Gemma, for the first time in years, he can escape.
And he will. He will….
As the hunt for Simon heats up, Gemma becomes an unintended target. Is she a fool to help him get away? And will he risk another captivity to protect her?

I also really liked the way the story explored the lives of both humans and aliens, especially the hardships everyone had to face on Earth. The struggle to find work, survive, and simply build a life in such difficult circumstances added a lot of depth to the story and kept me interested.
The audiobook itself was also very enjoyable to listen to. The emotions were interpreted really well where they needed to be, and the narration made it easy to picture what was happening while listening. I could really immerse myself in the world and the scenes.
Overall, this was a very enjoyable listen with a great balance of world-building, character development, romance, and hardship. I definitely enjoyed the journey and would happily listen to more stories like this.
