BlacklistedBy: Gena Showalter
Product Description:
Alien hunting can get a girl killed. It can also get her a date.
High school senior Camille Robins and her best friend are determined to snag the attention of their crushes before graduation next month. Armed with red-hot outfits and killer hair, they sneak into the hottest nightclub in town -- which caters to the rich and famous, both human and alien. They end up following Erik (who is human) and Silver (who isn't) through a guarded door and are soon separated and under attack...and not the good kind. Bad boy Erik spares Camille's life, but the two are soon being chased by gun-toting Alien Investigation and Removal agents. Camille's more confused than ever because Erik's finally showing real interest in her, but the agents are accusing him of dealing Onadyn -- a drug that ruins human lives. Suddenly, with the heat of his kiss lingering on her lips, Camille has to decide whose side she's on...and whether she's willing to put her life on the line to save Erik's.

I've been really interested in alien stories lately so I really wanted to give this book a try. I've never read Gena Showalter before, so this is my first time reading her. This book is actually the second in The Alien Huntress series, the first book being Red Handed. Why did I read the second book first? Because the product description looked more interesting, plus you don't need to read the first book to understand this one. After reading this one though I now want to read the first book whenever I'm in another mood for a fast read.
Overall this book is very fast paced and takes place over a course of two days. The same amount of time that it took me to read the book. So if your looking for a book that's long and covers a long period of time, this isn't it. This book is indeed a fast read and a lot like the description. The characters are interesting while reading, but since this is a fast book they will not leave a special place in your heart and you won't become to attached. This book is also mainly about humans not aliens, so if you wanted more alien characters and alien action you might want to look for another book.
Overall Rating: 6.5/10
Good fast read, but that's all it is.

FYI: Showalter is a great author. If you like alien huntress stories, she actually has a romance/action one. "Awaken Me Darkly" "Enslave Me Sweetly" and "Savor Me Slowly" are different stories of the characters. You could read them out of order, though I reccommend you at least read Savor Me Slowly first before any others.
