Amber Vial (Mixologists and Pirates Book 1) Kindle Edition

Fans of The Lunar Chronicles, The Origin Series, and Throne of Glass are raving about this new COMPLETE FANTASY series from USA Today Bestselling Frost Kay!
Fact #257 - Allie Sai should have been named "Unlucky."

Prison sucked. She should've known better than to try and run from her future, should've known that the government would catch her. A failed escape attempt leaves her chained to an airship chair with nothing but a vial of her family's super moonshine.

Fact #372 - Sometimes moonshine is not the answer.

Numbing her fear and plotting her revenge against the man who caught her seemed like a brilliant idea - until pirates attack her ship looking for goods of the female variety. Her only options? Fight or give in to the hot males demands. Decisions, decisions... Allie had never been one to roll over. 

Fact #401 - Pirates aren't princes. They're extortionists.

It was just one sip... maybe two.

When fantasy and reality blur, can Allie save herself?

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome unique serial
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2019

I have not been sucked into a book that fast in quite awhile. The world Frost Kay is building is so unique! Allie is sent to another planet, away from her family, to recognize it. Along the way she runs into alien pirates! I'm not usually into stores about space and aliens but I downloaded it since it was free and could not put this down. This was a fantastic first book. I love the descriptions of different aliens, Allie's southern upbringing, and her realness with panic attacks. I wish it was longer, that is a given with any good story. And I wish a little more time was spent on adjusting to a new planet /missing her family, but other than that I truly enjoyed this series and cant wait for the rest.

A decent T&YA story involving extraterrestrials. Allie Sai's family makes moonshine. As a joke, she entered a survey in a magazine which caused her to be drafted for colonization on another planet. The story is quite whimsical, especially the moonshine-induced dreams. But the ending isn't entirely satisfying.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very quick read, good ideas, and mildly entertaining
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2018

This story is a good beginning, but I would have never guessed it would be so short! In this short, short, short story, we are just beginning to get to know the main character when it ends. There is some humor, and a mysterious "was I in a drunken hallucination or did it really happen?" scene. I feel like there was potential here, but the dialogue wasn't as good as I've come to expect from Frost, and the overall brevity was extreme.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic story!
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2018

I have to admit, I am not that much of a science fiction reader anymore, but this series is absolutely the best. I love the characters, but especially Allie. She is a no-nonsense type character that is stuck doing something she really does not want to do. In spite of this, she is able to tackle the challenge and makes her way to a new home on a different planet. I love that she turns to drinking to make things better and it only comes out worse. I finished this novella quickly and promptly wanted to know what would happen next in Allie's adventures. This is a great read for anyone who loves science fiction.

This was hilarious and fun!! The MC is so preciously awesome! She isn't evil... but she does execute vengeance!! Allie is one scared girl who is venturing into the unknown, at least for her. Along the way she causes a few scenes and meets some very interesting people! I loved this first book! It's the first that I've ever read from this author, but most certainly will not be the last! Ms. Kay writes with humor and detailed insight 💝

4.0 out of 5 stars Feels like a 30min tv show
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2018

The storyline and writing are great. I like the characters and the world building is excellent. But it's so freaking short. It feels like an incredibly written screen play for a 30min TV show rather than a book. I don't get the chance to be invested in the characters but the storyline is enough to have me wanting more and thankfully I have more waiting for me so I'm going to read the next one right now! I'll post a spoiler free review of that one as soon as possible and update this one as to whether I think it's worth it to continue the "episodes" or not.

Update: I've completed the second episode and I'm sorta obsessed. See that review for further details.

3.0 out of 5 stars 3.5/5
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2019

Amber Vial is a short story. Seemingly, it is a prequel or prologue to the Mixologogists and Pirates series. The author includes the first 2 chapters of the next book in here, so you can get a better feel for the story.

The idea that the crooked government of Earth spies on you for your information, and then illegally mandates people to populate an alien planet by way of a dating application in a women's magazine, was comical and original.

The protagonists actions and reactions seamed appropriate. The banter between the MC and support characters was entertaining. I enjoyed the whole moonshine/poison aspect, too. The MCs fear of flight was slightly annoying, although funny.

There is plenty of potential with this series, but it didn't hook me as some other stories have done. I feel like I needed MORE than what was presented to figure out if I would continue reading the series or not. With that being said, I might pick up the next book. Might not.

There are so many elements that grabbed me in so little time! First you have Allie. She sucks at her family business of moonshine and manages to accidentally apply to an program to migrate to an alien world. She's a mix of timid and spunky all at the same time. Then you have potential run ins with aliens that could be just a dream but is likely real that sends sparks flying. You also get the start of a solid female friendship and several interesting alien races on her new planet. I cannot wait to see where this goes!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Great but Not Bad Either
Reviewed in Canada on January 22, 2020

What can I say? The story seemed a little circular to me, but perhaps in a way that’s what was intended. In any case, it was a “cute” premise for a short story, but ultimately it fell rather short of the mark for me.

Bin zufällig auf dieses Buch gestoßen
und möchte es.
Witzig, frech, vorlaut, actionreich und unerwartete Wendungen.
Sehr originell.
Leider ist es viel zu kurz
und geschrieben, wie eine Telenovela.
Man wird angefüttert und soll dann das nächste Buch kaufen, das auch wieder unter 100 Seiten hat.
Sorry, würde sowas vielleicht mitmachen, wenn der Preis angemessen wäre.
Daher bin ich raus.
Ansonsten, tolle Geschichte und wunderbar geschrieben.
Nur das gewählte Veröffentlichungsformat ist nicht meins.

1.0 out of 5 stars Zuende, bevor es los ging
Reviewed in Germany on September 13, 2019

Zu Anfang: das ist kein Buch, sondern eine Kurzgeschichte. Und zwar eine schlechte. Warum? Weil sie quasi "mittendrin" aufhört. Das kann man leider auch nicht als Cliffhanger bezeichnen. Die Heldin wird zur Kolonisierung auf einen fremden Planeten geschickt,weil sie "aus Spaß" in einer Zeitung etwas ausgefüllt hat (ist klar...). Das weitere bisschen Handlung erscheint ähnlich konfus - ohne "Spoilern" zu wollen, wenn das hier denn möglich ist. In Teil 2 hab ich rein gelesen, um zu wissen, ob es sich auflöst. aber nein, erstmal nicht in Sicht. Selbst mit Kindle unlimited Zeitverschwendung.
