What if the truth really is out there? Fun paranormal adventure and romance, UFOs part of the town culture, and what if it runs even deeper. A quick and fun read, great for the weekend mental getaway.

If you like the tv show Roswell, this book will definitely be up your alley. I give it 4 stars, because it was a very interesting read, but did get confusing in a few spots. I liked that the potential romantic relationship was secondary to the relationships between the main character and her friends. There are enough unfinished threads that I want to follow to make me read the next one when it comes out.

This was a good read. I read it in one sitting, it kept my attention. Not as much drama as I would have liked. I didn’t think I would like it at all when I started it but was happy to be proved wrong.

When I saw it being compared to the Lux series I said I NEED TO READ IT.

But making comparisons is not always the best option. Because I went with a lot of expectations and halfway there everything fell apart.

It is an attractive, light novel (although it has some TW), that reads quickly and does not have much intense drama.

I can't say that I didn't enjoy it because that's not the case, but it wasn't a read that grabbed me as much as the Lux series. And the truth is that I don't like to compare that much but since they made the comparison... me too.

Thank you Two Swans Publishing for the copy.

Wow! I honestly wasn’t sure if I would like this as I’m not huge into sci fi but the premise drew me in and the story kept me there.

Celeste is a telekinetic teen stuck in a small town that’s basically the knock off version of Roswell. She doesn’t dare tell anyone her secret for obvious reasons-they already call her loony due to her grandfather’s beliefs in UFOs as well as her best friend, Tyler’s. When she uses her powers one night to protect herself and her arch nemesis’ (Ava) brother, Dave, her secret is out, but he swears it’s safe with him. Those events bring the two closer together and in turn, she might find that her and Ava have a bit in common and she isn’t as bad as she originally thought either. When the murders start and Celeste’s best friend, Jamie, is taken she has to work with her friends, new and old to figure out what’s going on in their town. Is it simply a serial killer or something more paranormal? Oh, and she finds out she’s an alien princess. What’s a girl to do?

This book consumed me and I read it in one sitting! I loved the mystery of it all and the ambiance. I’m really curious to find out more about the planet Mondra and how Celeste and Ava play into it. I’m hoping to get that from the next book!

I rather enjoyed the characters as well. Celeste and her friends were great and I loved watching their story unfold. There is a lot that goes into this so I can’t say much without spoilers, but I’m definitely looking forward to the next book!
