Thanks, Barb!!! :)

Wonderful review and I agree about the no love interest in a YA novel! This sounds like a complex but enjoyable book and I am adding it to my TBR list.

I was hook with the title and little curious about it. And after reading your very detailed review I find it more interesting and wanting to read the book.

Thank you very much for your review.
I read the first pages and found the narraction captivating. It is interesting to know that there is no romance in this story, besides all the twists and turns in the plot.
Thanks again.

Thank you so much for reading my review! Personally, I believe that I would have enjoyed this book when I was in high school. I would recommend it to teens who science fiction and fantasy :)

Wow! This sounds great! Aliens have always been an interest to me. That mixed with a psychological thriller sounds like the perfect book for me. It sounds like the author really did a good job developing Courtney as a character. Great job on the review! I am definitely excited to check out this book!

Thank you! I thought that the lack of romance was very fitting in this case, and it definitely contributed to the book's uniqueness.

What a great review. From the blurb on Amazon I'm definitely interested in reading this great Sci-Fi tiller. Anytime there's aliens or the threat of a looming apocalypse I'm willing to read it. Congrats on being BOTD.

Sounds like a wonderful book! Congrats on the review! I'd love a thrilling tale without romance. I do get bored sometimes when a love story gets in the way of the main plot. Am DEFINITELY going to check this beauty out!
