In the future, only one rule will matter:Don’t. Ever. Peek.Seventeen-year-old Ari Alexander just broke that rule and saw the last person she expected hovering above her bed — arrogant Jackson Locke, the most popular boy in her school. She expects instant execution or some kind of freak alien punishment, but instead, Jackson issues a challenge: help him, or everyone on Earth will die.Ari knows she should report him, but everything about Jackson makes her question what she’s been taught about his kind. And against her instincts, she’s falling for him. But Ari isn’t just any girl, and Jackson wants more than her attention. She’s a military legacy who’s been trained by her father and exposed to war strategies and societal information no one can know — especially an alien spy, like Jackson. Giving Jackson the information he needs will betray her father and her country, but keeping silent will start a war.

“Let me make sure I understand—you want me to lie to my dad, turn my back on my species, my people? Do you really expect me to trust an Ancient over my own family?” “No, but I hope you’ll surprise me.” I fix my gaze on Jackson. “Consider it done.” I have no words. This is your typical teenaged-hero...

They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Bollocks! A brilliant cover can make you pick up a book you otherwise might've ignored. I am superficial - the art first attracted me to Melissa West's Taking series. Look at them! Seriously some of the most beautiful photos out there. Admittedly the...
