Blurb:
My name is Ava Mendoza, and I am a species traitor.
They came hoping to find a new home after their own planet was destroyed, but Earth was dying as well, and most humans saw their arrival as an invasion. Now, two decades later, the Veilorians have been banished to the District, a fenced-in area on the outskirts of the last known livable land on Earth. Most people do their best to pretend they don’t exist, but not everyone. There are humans, like my cousin, who see them for what they are. Despite the threat of disownment, she married a Veilorian, and now she, too, lives in the District.
Even before I met Finn, I was determined to stand up for what was right, but from the moment I laid eyes on him, we had a connection I’ve never experienced before. But with the election of a new and radical mayor on the horizon, tensions are high, and people are calling for change. They want to make my cousin’s marriage illegal and punish any human who goes into the District, but I refuse to back down from this fight. No matter the cost.

Kate L. Mary has done it again. She’s known for zombies, dystopian, apocalyptic reads with a strong lady. Species Traitor is no different except instead of zombies there’s aliens.
When The Veilorians landed on earth their planet was gone and earth is the only other planet they’ve found they could survive on. Except the humans aren’t happy they landed on their planet. They were forced to live in one section surrounded by a wall. Humans are in charge of the Veilorians electric, they get their leftovers.
Ava was only three when the aliens AKA the Veilorians arrived. They’ve been here 22 yrs so far. Ava works cleaning the solar panels that give everybody electric. She lives with her mother, whose an alcoholic and she hates the Veilorians. She wants them gone. Ava also lives with her younger sister.
Ava’s cousin married a Veilorian and has been disowned by her parents and the rest of her family. Ava hasn’t disowned her cousin. She loves her cousin and will continue to support her. Regardless what her mother says.
There’s an upcoming election for new mayor and the one who’s likely to win hates the aliens. She’s promising to enforce new rules that’ll make the lives of the Veilorians extremely, extremely difficult to survive.
Ava goes into the Veilorian compound to visit her cousin bring her supplies and to check on her. Ava loves her cousin and likes her husband. Then there’s Fin, the first half human-half Veilorian born.
Fin hates humans and he’s not afraid to let a human know it either. Ava is strangely strongly attracted to Fin and it’s obvious he’s attracted to Ava even if he tries denying it. The more these two spend together the less Fin hates her. He’s realizing not all humans are the same. There are good ones out there and Ava is definitely one of the good ones.
Once the election is over everybody’s lives are changed. The Veilorians have never had an easy life since landing on Earth but things are somehow worse. If that’s possible. For the humans that’ve falling in love with a Veilorian and gotten married and started a family with them are branded a species traitor and worse.
Ava made a decision and picked a side. That side will drastically change her life forever.
I have been dying to read this ever since Kate shared bits of a bunch of stories she started. This was SO much better then I originally thought. My heart broke for the Veilorians, Ava’s cousin and Ava.
The humans are straight up cruel. Which I get being worried when they just land but it’s been over two decades and if it weren’t for the humans stubbornness they could be doing so much better, since the Veilorians technology and brains. It’s such a waste since the humans don’t want them doing anything.
I’m dying dying dying for the next book. This one ended on a huge cliffhanger!!! I knew Ava was being stupid but ugh. The next part better hurry up.
