A grumpy alien. A chatty, sunny human. For some insane reason, he wants her to look at him and see her mate.

Bash

I dislike people. I despise humans. A cruel mandate from one of my region's rulers has saddled me with a slew of little alien humans: I'm to put them to work.

One problem? I run a rock quarry, where humans’ thin skin is a detriment to productivity. Overseeing these humans is like trying to herd yanaks. If I don't burn, beat, or strangle them to death by the day's end, it will be a miracle.

Isla

I can tell the boss likes me, because I'm not dead. Bash is abrasive and acerbic, like some sort of alien love child between Michael Caine and Miss Hannigan. And maybe Ebenezer Scrooge. Bash is a little…anti-human race. But he’s not all bad. Sure, he's a little growly and he sets things on fire when he gets mad, but even villains need friends. And here? Bash is everybody's villain. Everybody’s but mine.

I bought this book when it first came out, then I saw it was available to listen to on Audible and immediately pre ordered it. I was giddy! This book is so much fun to read and now listen too. The narrator was fantastic the characters are great I want a friend like Isla snarky, says what she thinks and maybe a little crazy (in a good way, come on aren't we all) I laughed all throughout the listen, I didn't want it to end. I love the writing of Amanda Milo. Now if I can get Contagion on Audio my life would be complete. Just sit down and enjoy this fantastic journey.

A MUST LISTEN

Good narration and story plot, but all of the women (whether part of of the same universe or story plot or not) are annoying. Don’t mind the description, but it’s overdone with Gracie and not enough intro for the MAIN female lead. Isla. Don’t care for Beth as both of them are just weenies pretending to be tough. Keep it to 1-2 female leads or things kinda clash. Other than that, awesome story. Was just hard to tread into.

Good narration. Too Long of Unnecessary Character (side ones) intros

When you find yourself smiling and a little giggle escapes then you have found a good book. Although the story line is easy to follow the interact between characters is funny. The narrators were great! Got to hand it to them. They weren't a large part of the storys success.

Very interesting book!
