About this listen

No one ever said what would happen when dragons and aliens meet. And no one told me that I would be in the middle of it.

Tasha was studying hard to get through her last year of university when she was kidnapped. She certainly did not expect to wake up with four feet and wings. Mad scientists are bad enough, but things get even more complicated when aliens appear and wipe out the human race. Is there a way for her to hide her true identity in this new world while retaining her humanity?

Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I jumped over the lip of the tray and beat down hard with my wings, expecting to only slow my fall. My powerful wingbeat plucked my feet from the sand as it threw me into the air. I squawked in surprise and spread my wings wide in alarm before gravity regained its hold on me. With several awkward back-winging motions of my wings, I landed lightly on the floor. Well, at least I know my wings work. I glanced at the man in the corner as he was scribbling quick notes. I turned around to regard the tray again. Well, they say practice makes perfect. With another hop and a single light wingbeat, I managed to land in the sand tray with fanned wings slowing my momentum. That was much more graceful. But a wing-assisted hop wasn’t true flight. And I still wasn’t on the windowsill.

my favorite book by far

I can read and listen to this book over and over again and never get tired of it. it's perfect for those who would rather escape the reality of our human responsibilities. for those who don't know, there is a sequel to this book that you can read for free on wattpad. you can also read the first draft of this first book for free over there too. Crystal has a bunch of other books there you might be interested in as well.

the only thing I had a slight issue with was the narration. some parts fell flat on the emotion through the dialog, a few parts have an extra take that wasn't edited out, and it's a little hard to tell when she is switching between dialog since she doesn't change her voice much. other than that, she does have a pleasant voice to listen to.

Loved it

This one took me by surprise. I went in mildly interested, sounded unique to say the least. But it truly stuck with me, might even be in my top 5.
If there was anything i wanted to complain about was that i wanted to know more about her life during the time skip in the beginning, other than that 10/10.

A fun story

While a bit slower paced at times there are also points at action as well. The slower times are full of interesting character and story building that are never boring. and though there are a few minor criticisms I could make I'm not good. The book was too much fun and too much of just what I needed.

A great escape from the flaws of humanity.

It's wonderful to occasionally have a great story that takes you away from the ses-pit of human nature. This story does it in style and allows you an escape while also leaving you with a wish of "if only".

story design

I love th4 flow and progression of this story. I found it when it was still in its rough draft and this flushed out version is even better. it's different the version I'm used to but it's much better then it was and it's like I get to listen to it for thr first time all over again!

Boring and Uncomfortable

Let me start by saying that I wanted to like this story. The premise is fascinating and I am always looking for more books with non-human protagonists.

That being said, our protagonist spends almost the entirety of this book in captivity, which I suppose is a mild spoiler, but considering its 80% of the book, its unavoidable. She starts as a human and gets turned into a small, telepathic dragon like creature with her memories, personality, and intelligence in tact. She escapes human captivity only to be captured by aliens, one of whom then spends the next third of the book taming her like an animal. This goes on until after she reveals she's intelligent and then continues still.

If this were a kink thing, I'd be a lot more forgiving, but it's presented as wholesome for some reason.... which just makes the whole thing uncomfortable... and this "taming" and treating an intelligent creature like a housecat is basically the entire book.

The performance honestly is pretty good, but the editing is so bad that I have to knock 2 stars off. There are frequent points where two takes have been obviously and quite poorly spliced together, and at some points one line and the next will sound lile they were recorded on entirely different equipment.

it was ok

But the big thing is that is keeping it from being amazing is how much time and energy is spent with the training of a intelligent human turned dragon and EVEN AFTER they find out how smart they are AND CAN TALK!!!!! They are treated like a well trained dogs this could be a good series but to much Sit and stay. one scene comes to mind where the main alien dude brings his girlfriend the MC back to all the other dragons and she has to wait for his command befor she can go see the others. I would not care if it was a military setting but it felt more like a BDSM thing then any thing else and that just feels to off putting for it here.
