Synopsis (Goodreads):
Alexis Carter is a long way from home, and she doesn't quite understand how she got here. All she knows is that she died once, and now she's alive.

She's woken into a nightmare, trapped on a dark ship full of terrifying aliens. With their silver skin and fire-colored eyes, they look a lot like the monsters that once attacked her on Earth.

One Kordolian in particular stands out... he's huge, he doesn't talk much, and his job is to guard her.

From what, exactly?

The voices inside her head?
Thoughts on Fractured Souls: Oh man. Alexis and Nythian worked for me. She's dealing with A LOT of stuff (you know, besides being resurrected from the dead and all that) and, for all he's a hardcore warrior, he's her oasis of calm when things get too chaotic in her head. I sincerely adore when fierce, seemingly stoic warriors show their softer side to their special someone. *heart eyes so hard*

As for Alexis, she's been living a hellish existence of running and watching the people around her die since a routine scouting mission back on Earrth went bad. The fact that the mission in question revolved around a not-very-nice Kordolian makes waking up on a Kordolian ship surrounded by Kordolians kind of hard for her to wrap her head around. Throw in the alien entity sharing space in her head and things get really sticky.

As for Nythian, he's a typical First Division warrior. He's big. He's scary. He has lethal skills. And he's been put on babysitting duty for the traumatized, possibly dangerous human. As you can probably guess, he's not thrilled with the job, but he does what he's been ordered to do and ends up seeing that Alexis is more than just an unlucky woman now playing host to an alien consciousness.

She's kind of his match and she's pretty darn fierce in her own way.

I really REALLY like the Kordolians and their deadly straightforwardness. They protect those they see as theirs and kill anything that threatens their mates. AWESOME.
