I first found out about Jennifer Armentrout when I read her Lux series. I was instantly entralled with her characters and world. The writing isn't one dimensional but rather engaging with chemistry that sizzles. I wanted MORE. Then on Twitter I read about another series of Armentrout's. Better yet, her prequel DAIMON was up for .99 cents. So I downloaded it on my Nook.

I was hooked.

This novella drew me in and I couldn't put my Nook down. Thank goodness I recharged my battery the night before or I would have been very upset if it died. Yes, this short novella is that good. Think I AM NUMBER SIX meets ROSWELL the TV series but better written with characters you are instantly drawn to.

First off, Armentrout starts by showing us Alex's world in such a way that's it's not loaded with backstory dump. We see Alex on the beach with one of her human boyfriends before the scene that starts Alex off on the run.

Love, love, love this new Sci-Fi YA. What makes it rise above some of the others has to be the characters. I read somewhere that people forget stories, but keep strong memorable characters close to their hearts. This is the case with this series too.

I was really excited to find that the book PURE was out.

Guess what I'm reading next?

If you like books with strong protagonists in worlds that grab you by the collar, then this is the one. Be prepared for one intense and engaging ride!
Good Points
1. Love Alex, who isn't the stereotypical cardbox heroine
2. Great taste of yet another fab series
3. Great writing, pacing, and worldbuilding
4. I wanted MORE
