A sci-fi novels revolving around extraterrestrial beings sounds like a great book. I like that it has a fascinating plot and unexpected twists and turns. However, I don't enjoy alien stories, and I think this book is not for me. Otherwise congrats on the BOTD!

Hi!

This book sounds extremely interesting. Your review describes the type of science fiction I enjoy. It has more than just a dictionary of scientific words to memorize. This story seems like it has an excellent balance of clearly using science fiction writing style without being confusing. I am looking forward to reading this book.

Thank you for the review,

Just by reading your review, I find that I have already become hyped for a book I haven't read yet. The plot sounds interesting along with the dreams. Not to mention I just love the cover art! I can't wait to check this book out. :-D

I did not know that there were aliens in this story; I just thought that Cecily was a supernatural psychic. I will say that this storyline seems to be a fresh take on alien and sci-fi books. Thanks for the review! :)

Some of these plot elements mentioned in the summary reminded me of Total Recall! I love the inclution of aliens and the mystery sounds so intriguing. I wonder how Charles will escape, and what would happen once he reveals the truth? Congrats on the BOTD selection!

While I love science fiction, I'm not a fan of reading about aliens. However, from your review, it sounds like I'm going to enjoy almost every other aspect of this book. From the psychological element to the relationship between its three main characters, the book sounds like it has a great plot. The world-building also sounds excellent. I'd like to give this book a try.
Thank you for your review.

Dreams that are connected to reality and alien cover up by the US government are interesting premises for a sci-fi novel. I’m interested in seeing how Cecily, Vivian, and Charles’s worlds will come together in this intriguing narrative.

A schoolteacher has unusual dreams in which she is in someone else's body. Little does she know that these dreams are reality. The plot involves aliens and the US government executing a coverup.

The psychological science fiction story follows a woman who has vivid dreams that seem to foreshadow reality. The idea of having a character predict reality through their dreams is quite common, to be honest, but it doesn't mean that The Site by Carlos Valrand is an ordinary read.
