Review: Sagitta

Sagitta by Ruby Lionsdrake
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This picks up where the 2nd book left off. A bit of a summary; because while each book covers a different couple, the story-arc continues. In book one, aliens have found (accidentally from the sound of it) Earth (Gaia). Bad thing is, these aliens were slavers who kidnapped humans, aliens and sell them. There is an alien race called the Zi'i that love the taste of human flesh, and these slavers assist them with procuring their preference of meat. Enter the Star Guardians. They are the intergalactic police force. They rescue and arrest the kidnappers. The first book was Orion (a bounty hunter working with the SG) and Juanita (one of the women).
The 2nd book is Angela (she worked at an animal shelter with dreams of becoming a dog trainer & had an unconventional upbringing) and Treyjon's (a SG whose specialty of training svenkars; think dog-like, but bigger and more lethal) story. The story-line progresses. There is an issue with returning to Earth. Some in the coalition do not want to make their presence known. There is also worry of other groups taking advantage of Earth's resources (in this case, the people).
This book is Sage (the Captain) and Tala's (a surgeon on earth) story. Sage has defied orders and left to return the women to Earth. On the way, they encounter the Zi'i who may or may not have an alliance with another alien race (the Scyllan). The Scyllan are fairly unknown and have not been interested in alliances with the human contingent. They barely escape and end up in an unknown & unexplored part of the galaxy. Tala and Sage have a HFN ending (the romance was weaker in this one IMO & is was slow until the Zi'i made an appearance) and a bit of a cliffhanger ending.
