About this ebook

High school junior Eris Miller thinks she's having a bad day when her roommate's boyfriend catches her stepping out of the shower wearing nothing but a towel. Then she gets abducted by scaly six-armed aliens with a strange fondness for the color blue, and her day suddenly gets a whole lot worse. Trapped on a spaceship bound for the slave markets of Sirius B, Eris fears she'll never see her home again. But then fate whisks her away from her reptilian captors and into the arms of Varrin, a fast-talking space pirate who promises to deliver her safely back to Earth. He claims to have her best interests at heart, but Eris soon discovers that her charming rescuer has a hidden agenda. As they race across the galaxy, outrunning a villainous figure from Varrin's past, Eris begins to realize that their relationship is putting her planet, her life and her heart in imminent danger. She knows that trusting Varrin could prove deadly ... but what other choice does she have?

Ratings and reviews

Imminent Danger was the best book I've read in a long time... and I'm speaking as someone who reads almost constantly. The protagonist is really interesting; she has her flaws but they make the novel richer and she overcomes them in really interesting ways. There's just enough comedy to keep the mood light, but it never feels like overkill. The ending of the novel is something you'll need to read to believe, and it definitely hooked me for the next book in the series. I'll definitely be recommending this one to friends!

When I first started to read Imminent Danger , Michelle Proulx’s debut novel, I instantly fell in love with the characters. I mean I had my moments where I wish Eris had done this and that Varrin hadn’t done that, but I had gotten so involved with the characters that I couldn't put the book down. There’s definitely a lot of romance in this book, but I secretly love that in a novel. Forbidden romance, hatred between the lovers, unrequited love – love it! During one of the scenes on Vega Minor you could hear me down the hallway with my “awws” and “gahs”. It’s definitely one of my favorite moments during the book. The action scenes were massively entertaining and had me laughing out loud during several moments. I must say I loved the humour and wit in this book! It was really hard to put the book down. I just wanted to find out what happened next in their adventure. I had a splendid time reading it, and the ending of the book made me want more. I can’t wait to read the sequel to find out what Eris gets up to next.
