Version 2.0. This is the updated version of the Halloween Contest Entry (2024). The Alliance has never encountered a purely evil species. Until now!
The crew of the Allied Space Craft Pioneer finds a desolate world where the inhabitants seem trapped between life and death. They’re seductive, obliging, willing to do anything and appear, at first, attractive. Their bodies move, yet their eyes are vacant, their souls lost in a twilight state. As the crew delves deeper, the Strigoians pull them into a dangerous mystery they must unravel or become Strigoi themselves.

Fast Paced and Riveting
Reviewed it on November 20, 2024
Millie Dynamite is coming into her own as an author and The Strigoi is evidence. It is a fast-paced compelling story with characters the reader will be drawn to and others that are grotesque and ominous. The heroine, Captain Genevieve, is a strong character. She is a capable leader who commands the expedition but she is also incredibly alluring and shows enough vulnerability to draw us to her and to feel what she feels. The story line, full on sci-fi, is riveting and suspenseful. There are many concurrent themes in this story, all of which are bathed in powerful sexual dynamics. Depending on one’s taste, those dynamics can be quite erotic. It’s a great read I highly recommend.
