Kaila Guidry has always known she is different. After all, her mother insists she hide her hair under a tin foil shield and a wig before leaving the house. When Kaila meets Jordyn Stryker one day at school, she begins to understand the origin of her mother's seemingly irrational fears. Jordyn Stryker was born and raised far from Earth, a starseed, one of six new students sent undercover to Louisina's Bush High to learn human ways. When Kaila is pushed to her limit by high school bullying and cruelty, Jordyn awakens her to a new reality, and to love. Out of loyalty to him, Kaila looks the other way when the real purposes of the starseed unfold. As the horrific plan behind the starseed visit to Earth moves forward, Kaila and Jordan, caught in an impossible love, must face who they really are and decide where their true loyalties lie. "I really liked the story. It caught me off guard and won me over after the first chapter. The main conflict is a personal one for Kalia. Will she embrace her alien side or continue life as a human?"--Pixie Dust Book Reviews"The concept of starseeds was a big selling point for me. I've watched enough Star Trek and sci-fi in my time that this really hooked me. Aliens, who look perfectly normal, and so much like humans they might as well be, are hiding among us. Maybe they're trying to help us into a Golden Age. Maybe they simply want to watch and learn about us. Or, maybe, they're here for another, darker reason." --The Forbidden Library

I probably would have put this book down if I wasn't reading it for a RAR. I hate giving reviews to books I don't like, especially Indie authors because I know they put their heart and soul into the book.The book was boring, so not a lot happened. The plot was very korny and reminded of watching a r...

Initial reaction: This novel gets so many things wrong that I'm very surprised that it was marketed as a YA, but that it was even written and sent out the way it was at all. And this saddens me because it not only comes from someone who self-published the work, but also works in a health related sp...

Before I read it:Requested it on NG because of the creepy cover. What do I say I'm morbidly curious about this one. I mean look at that thing. It's like someone wanted to imitate the Lux covers but couldn't afford to use real models so they photoshopped Barbie and Ken's face on there. Or it sort...

Wow.That cover art. Just... that cover art. I know I shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but... man. Look at it. I thought there was a problem with the thumbnail image when I was browsing through NetGalley, so I opened the window and wound up laughing my hiney off.I get that the main guy is suppose...

This was an interesting read. It felt a lot like Roswell, but different. There are alien hybrids at high school and a romance. After that it diverges from the Roswell theme. These hybrids have a darker purpose for the earth. It takes Kaila a while to remember who she is and what's really important t...
