Kira and Aehako.
This is the first book in the series that deals with a couple that did not resonate with each other. Aehako is the funny, flirtatious one of the Aliens and Kira is the grumpy depressed one of the humans. I think that this book will forever be burned into my head just because of the hand-carved mating gift that Aehako gave to Kira. It was nice to see such a fun and uplifting male in this one, as the others have been very headstrong or just completely lovey-dovey. I think these two are my favourite couple so far. I loved that this book ended the troubles that were looming over some of the girls but especially Kira, and her personal problems. We got to see the end of the shitty little green men and the hurtful and horrible translator that they surgically inserted into Kira’s ear. It felt like it was almost a fresh start for the girls as their past troubles and the worry of them coming back, had been erased.
“Are you going to unwrap me like a present?” “Like a bit of organ meat hiding under the ribs of a fresh kill,” I tease. Her nose wrinkles. “That… sounds awful.” “Ah, but those are the tastiest, juiciest parts.”
