Ari is a 17 years old who lives in the future in a hugely different world. Earth as we know it has been destroyed by nuclear war and individual countries are no more. It is divided up by continents and each region is lead by a president. These leadership positions are also hereditary. Enter an alien...
Now two stars may be a bit harsh, but there were a lot of problems with this book. It felt like too much of a mashup of teen romance dystopian training sci-fi with aliens and political drama. And it jumps between those different concepts the entire book with little cohesion. Also, if you're going to...
“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...
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 pun...
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...

Even so, I was still kind of vibing on Gravity, in spite of there being a severe loss of interplanetary stuffs (traveling across worlds through the use of trees d...
My Rating – 3 ½ Stars*I received a free copy of this novel through the Arcycling blog*In the future an alien race called Ancients saved the Earth after humans destroyed it in a war. As part of a treaty to terraform the Earth back to its somewhat natural environment every night; the Ancients came dow...
Gravity grabbed me from the start and wouldn't let go. I read this baby in one sitting. The year is 2133 ...❉ A human and alien treaty is in place From that moment on {the signing of the treaty}, we were no longer just human beings - we were hosts. We provide them with antibodies through the Taki...
Gravity was such an addicting read! I finished the book in one day, two sittings. When I picked it up at my bookstore I thought it sounded intriguing and noticed it had a gorgeous cover, with a praising quote from Jennifer L. Armentrout I might add. Basically, I had high expectations and they were m...
