Alien Warrior Unleashed by Ava Ross

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A tortured alien hero determined to protect his fated mate.

As a child, I was stolen by the lord of my planet’s invaders. He brought me to the chamber, where he held others he’d also taken. Through the years, me and my new brothers were twisted into hardened beasts, each with a unique ability that shouldn’t exist outside of myth. We’re monsters. Any female who gazes upon us will run.

Now we’ve been entered into the Galaxy Games. Each landscape contains a series of deadly pitfalls, shifting goalposts, and an elusive final destination. It’s my chance to break free.

But I’m paired with a delectable Earth female who makes me see color for the very first time, proving she’s my fated mate.

I’ll finish this Game. I’ll free my brothers. And I’ll claim the Earthling female as my prize.

The Hero: Tetryx – when he was eight years old, the Shidars invaded his world, and his parents were both killed. He promised his mother that he would hide aboard a ship and get to the world his mother came from, to find the rest of her family. He promised he would stay away from the Shidars and someday would find his fated mate and he would know it was her because he could see colors. Broudire warriors could only see black and white till they found their mates. However, he was captured by a Shidar warlord, Lord Voon.

The Story: Tetryx and 3 other males from different species were taken by the Lord, tortured and experimented on for twenty years, till they looked monstrous and had special abilities. They also had a bond between them. Though they refused to show their captors that they actually had abilities, so they were sold and entered into the Galaxy Games, a televised event throughout the galaxy where they were each paired with a female and had to finish different tasks without being killed. Few, if any, made it through alive.

The heroine: Anna – she was working a dead-end job as a maid for a man who sexually harassed her on the regular. She needed the job though, since she’d had to quit high school when her parents died. When the mans wife caught them together, the guy blamed her and she was fired. On her way home, she was abducted by aliens, along with some other human women. They were the females paired with each of the monsters in the Galaxy Games.

Tetryx is paired with Anna and knows immediately that she is his fated mate by the fact that he can see colors for the first time. This book was exciting. They came up against some very dangerous animals and more. There was also the storyline about Tetryx being scarred from the experiments and thinking he is monstrous, he doesn’t think there is any way that Anna could love him. Anna thinks she is just holding him back because he has to do everything for them.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view and was narrated in dual narration by Tawnia Murray and Lance Greenfield. Lance Greenfield has a fairly deep voice that is a bit gravelly. He is very expressive, though he isn’t one of my favorite narrators. Tawnia Murray has a nice voice, though you can tell she is reading by her tempo. She isn’t too bad though.
