I loved this story. Just loved it. Fabulous cover and book blurb, too. Leda and Roar have off the charts chemistry. The descriptions, world building, and characterization made it hard for me to put it down! Leda and Roar each have their own issues to deal with, but when they come together, they have the power to change everything. Loved it. Just loved it. Have I said that enough? Because it's true. I highly recommend this book because it will be hard to put down!

Okay so basically things started to go a little downhill for me when we get hit with a bad, bad case of Insta-Love. Going through the book you start to question if it was really Insta-Love or a connection because she's the so-called weapon. But still it kind of threw me off...

But i kept reading because the plot was intriguing!

Roar was sent to Earth with three of his friends after his planet was being destroyed by an enemy alien race-the Woede-with the task of locating the weapon that could save their planet. But as time passes, desperation has taken its tole on the four aliens and with the humans breathing down their neck to "blend in", it's not long before they start to loose hope that they'll ever find the weapon.

Leda on the other hand, has just lost her loving father and moved to live with her uncle, away from her mother who doesn't care for her at all. Being crippled. she gets quite defensive when someone tries to coddle her too much because she doesn't want to be seen as weak.

I have to say, that i liked the side characters much more than Leda and Roar! I actually kind of liked Roar but Leda was a pretty "meh" character to me. I loved the individual personalities of the four aliens, you could tell the author really put in an effort to make all of her characters stand out!

Kudos for making these book diverse with it's characters! The story itself was pretty action packed and though it could be predicable at times, we did have some pretty interesting twists!


If you can get past the Insta Love (ish) feels and really get into the story then it's a pretty cool read :)!

This one has a very unique heroine, one I really liked, definitely a different kind of YA science fiction book, then what I was expecting but one that I enjoyed. Seems like there is a lot more coming, judging by the ending, and I am looking forward to it.

Leda has spina bifida and lives with her Grandmother and uncle. Her mother has never really cared for her and her loving and supportive father has recently past away. Life is boring until the day she meets Roar and his moving tattoos. She feels drawn to him and wants to figure out why. From there she is thrown into a wild ride of secrets, adventure and finding out her life purpose.

When I read the synopsis I really thought I would love this book. However, it lacked fluidity and made it hard to follow at times. The characters seemed to appear within a scene suddenly and the locations changed abruptly. I had to re-read a lot to be able to follow what was happening and even then it was confusing at times.

The storyline was very predictable, as was the ending. There were a few twists that were randomly thrown in there that were abrupt. They had a place in the story, as they gave reasons for why everything was happening but it didn't flow well. I have never had to re-read a book more than this one.

This novel was a good read. I enjoyed the plot and the characters. This story involves aliens, romance, action, adventure, and discovering one's self.
