The Alien's Who Abducted Me Aren't That Bad

Here's Amy Padilla's latest: "The Alien's Who Abducted Me Aren't That Bad."

["When I first saw the headline about alien ships hovering over major cities, I did what any traumatized millennial would do. I rolled my eyes and kept scrolling.

Then the call came. Report to base. No explanation.

Before I could even process what was happening, I was yanked off Earth and dumped onto an alien ship alongside millions of military personnel from around the world.

Except these aliens—the Krezikians—aren’t here to conquer us. They’re here to stop humanity from destroying the only livable planet we have. Which is… noble, terrifying, and wildly inconvenient when you’re being “saved” against your will.

Things get complicated when I sneak out to check on a friend and get caught by gorgeous, sweet, and equipped with a set of curious tentacles that do not understand the concept of personal space. Suddenly, I’m being shoved into the role of Earth’s unwilling spokesperson, spending far too much time with my abductor-turned-ally… and discovering his interest in me might not be entirely diplomatic.

Turns out that the monsters in this situation might not be the ones from space.
And maybe the aliens who abducted me… aren’t that bad."]

A sweet, himbo alien, willing to go anything to protect his new..'coworker'..and the human race as a whole. Versus a human who didn't ask for any of this, quite actually said 'no' to most of this.

This was utterly fabulous! There were such perfect moments of "fuuuck" and "fuck it" that perfectly balanced each other, so many "I won't do it" versus the "well I guess I'm doing it." Just as the Aster perfectly balanced Enzo. They made it work, all amongst the humans making it sooo freaking hard to save (which, let's be honest...not entirely wrong). 

I'm a little obsessed. I don't necessarily see a sequel in the future, but you never know. ;)

I love everything Amy's been doing lately. Working on one new series, and new spin-off series after another all the while writing several standalones. Beautiful!
