Synopsis (Goodreads):
Her alien abductors made one fatal mistake: they put her in a cell with him.Thoughts on Zinnia and the Zombie: Oh my goodness. It's hard to believe we just hit Z on the abductions and events taking place in the Kaisarian Empire. We also got to revisit several previous couples and I love getting reacquainted with familiar faces.
When Zinnia is uprooted from her life on Earth by alien slavers, she is thrown into a cell with a huge, golden statue. Desperate to escape her harsh new reality, she finds herself talking to him, baring her soul to the silent male.
But when the aliens come to drag her to a fate worse than death, the statue does the impossible. He wakes up.
Jaxx has been trapped in a conscious stasis for cycles, his mind aware but his body locked in a golden shell. He is frozen by grief and loss until a new voice enters his silent world—soft, warm, and achingly alive. Zinnia becomes his tether to reality, and when she is threatened, her terrified scream shatters his prison.
Driven by a fierce, protective instinct, Jaxx frees them both, but their escape pod crashes on a forgotten world. Surrounded by the remains of a fallen civilization, they begin to build a life together.
But the slavers have no intention of losing their property and as the hunters close in, Jaxx must confront the ghosts of his past in order to protect his future.
A warrior who gave up hope. A woman who lost everything. Can they build a future from the ruins of the past?
BUT FIRST! Zinnia and Jaxx. She's been taken from Earth (as so many have), dropped in a cargo container (because the traffickers who nabbed her are working a side hustle separate from their regular trafficking), and keeps herself sane by talking to the statue in the container with her. He's a warrior from a powerful (possibly extinct) race who's been in statis for who knows how long. Zinnia's presence and stories guide him back from his statis and when she's threatened, Jaxx does what any able-bodied warrior would do when his special someone is in danger and TAKES CARE OF BUSINESS.
During their escape, they crash land on an abandoned planet, make a pretty decent home for themselves in the ruins, and promptly find out the buyers who were trying to acquire Jaxx are determined to get their hands on him. For REASONS. Bad, bad reasons.
There's some fighting, a little almost-piracy, and some serious smooching along the way. Plus? They end up in the Kaisarian Emperor's palace where Zinnia gets to see that there are plenty of other humans out there who have found their place in this big, messy universe.
Seeing familiar faces is always fun and the setup for what's coming next is laid out nicely. All in all, GOOD STUFF!
