Here are some fabulous reviews
for ALIEN HEAT:
5 Stars!--Goodreads
4 1/2 STARS! There are plots of
revenge, attempted murder and hatred intertwined in ALIEN HEAT. There is also
the blossoming of love between Lucas and Glyneth, and a few others as well. The
interaction between the main characters, Lucas, Glyneth, Hawke, Will, and
Sylvie was something to see. Will was a riot and the play between the three men
was interesting... If you haven't read anything by Ms. Knight, you don't know
what you are missing.--A Romance Review
I found Susanne Marie Knight’s
ALIEN HEAT to be very imaginative. Knight’s plot is like no other I’ve read,
which is really saying a lot considering that I deem reading the ultimate
pastime. The villainous aliens in ALIEN HEAT come in an unexpected form, and
the vastness of the futuristic detail was mind-boggling. ALIEN HEAT was very
entertaining.--The Road To Romance
4 Stars! Susanne Marie Knight
has an interesting take on the future of the world with aliens from Venus
thrown in to heat it up. I really loved the way she pulled modern day facts
into the story to put a realistic tint to it. Her characters grab you and pull
you through the story not letting go until the last page. Once again Ms. Knight
hits the jackpot with a compelling story and life-like characters. So much
happens in ALIEN HEAT that I only touched on some of its aspects. What an
incredible journey it is. ALIEN HEAT is not to be missed, in this reviewer’s
humble opinion. Romance Junkies
Susanne Marie Knight has woven a
story of a troubled Earth, invasion by an alien species, and the mysteries of
some ancient lore to produce a captivating tale of romance and danger in a
post-apocalyptic world. The devastating impact of a comet has left the word
divided, and its people scattered. Small pockets of civilization remain in
differing levels of civilization, and through them, the diversification of the
populations survive. ALIEN HEAT is just that...it is alien, and it is heated.
It takes you from the bride markets of Columont, to the vast stretches of
desert that is slowly devouring the newly recovering earth. Treachery and death
stalk the lovers, and the destruction of civilization, and even the world as
they know it now hands in the balance. The premise in Susanne Marie Knight's
story is no different than told in many a sci-fi thriller, but in the telling,
we see the difference. ALIEN HEAT focuses on the powers of magic, love, and the
intentions of honorable men and women to not only save their society, but the
very world on which they live. After a bit of a slow start, the reader gets
quickly wrapped up in the intrigue of the court, the plans on both sides of the
battle, and can feel the thrill of the impending conclusion. The ultimate
question is answered in the long run...[and] the reader is a winner.--Romance At Heart
I was totally intrigued by this
book. When we think of aliens the first thought that pops into our heads is
little green men that walk on two legs with big, bulging eyes. Susanne Knight
shows in this book that our alien friends could be in the form of something
innocent looking like flowers. Absolutely brilliant!--Paula Beaty Reviews
ALIEN HEAT is a remarkable
example of science fiction romance. Ms. Knight has set her novel in Earth’s
future, used much of its history and technology, but given it a special twist
and then stayed within the rules of her world. Glyneth and Lucas are
wonderfully dimensional characters, each bound to their own path, each aware of
who and where they stand in the world. I especially loved the reason the women
were infertile. It was so unexpected and different. Don’t miss.--In The Library
Reviews
This is a good story with
several plot lines that keep things moving. Good humor, fun characters, and
playful dialogue. This would make a good science fiction film plot,
particularly with the plants as enemies, able to release carbon dioxide gas in
big enough quantities to kill a person or use their roots to cause earthquakes.
The parts in the story where the plants conspired, “speaking” with each other
were particularly well done. This was a good book, a fun read, and well worth
looking for. Good job, Ms. Knight.--SFR Reviews
Once again Susanne Knight
produces as interesting and thoroughly entertaining paranormal romance, one
that fans of science fiction should enjoy, also. I appreciated that though
there is plenty of action and evil intentions in this story, the violence is
minimal. I also was impressed at the way the human villain reacted to his punishment.
I felt the way the invaders were dealt with was justifiable. The story kept up
its momentum to the very end, which was quite satisfying.--Paranormal Romance
Reviews
Found on the Web: Science
Fiction Romance's article with Wings Press editor Leslie Hodges. Here's what
Ms. Hodges says about ALIEN HEAT: I am always looking for good, well-crafted
stories, no matter what the genre. Here in my department, we love cross-genre
tales, and all levels of romantic involvement. More and more authors are crossing
genres and the result has been some wonderfully well-crafted stories that
appeal to fans of both genres. A good
example of this would be ALIEN HEAT by Susanne Marie Knight which is a
Futuristic/SF book. It has appeal to both audiences because of the way Susanne
has woven her story using a mix of both genres [science fiction and
romance].
Susanne Marie Knight has woven a
story of a troubled Earth, invasion by an alien species, and the mysteries of
some ancient lore to produce a captivating tale of romance and danger in a

impending conclusion. The reader is a winner. Look for ALIEN HEAT today.--Romance
at Heart (Heartstrings)
I am not usually a futuristic
romance reader, but I must admit to enjoying ALIEN HEAT. Susanne Marie Knight
took a unique idea and created a fascinating novel. I loved her plant from
Venus. I also enjoyed the twists Ms. Knight added to the storyline. ALIEN HEAT
has several surprises that are revealed as the story unfolds.--Writers

ALIEN HEAT is one of the most
unusual after-the-world’s end novels I have ever read. The comet hitting Venus,
and the Venusian fragments hitting Earth is terrific. The interplay between the
characters is good and Gwyneth being a mutant is an excellent ingredient. I
happily recommend ALIEN HEAT.--The Romance Studio
This book was a mix of romance
and sci-fi. The author has many surprises in store for the reader. The book has
many twists and turns involving the main characters. The author has woven an
intricate tale of the futuristic Earth and the people who populate it.--Love
