A really interesting sounding story. Not at all what I was expecting but nevertheless looks pretty cool!

I'm not really into alien books but it sounds like you loved it. It's always great when you come across a book that leaves you with absolutely no complaints!

Sounds interesting and fun. A very insightful review @LivreAmour217, I enjoyed reading it. And it was surprising as well as reliving to know that the book is without a love interest.
Seems to be a great book. Will give it a try.

The book was great. As I was reading it I felt goosebumps all of a sudden. The way the author wrote the scene you easily imagine every part of it. Great job, I surely share it to my friends who enjoy reading this kind of book.

Fifteen-year-old Courtney wants
to be normal like her friends. But
there’s something frighteningly different about
her—and it’s not just the mysterious tattoo her
conspiracy-obsessed grandfather marked her
with when she was a child.Its realy educative congratulation to the author :D

Latest Review: "Stalking The Shadows" by BJ Edwards

Post by Jeyran Main »

I happened to read this book a while ago. The author portrays this young girl’s situation in a very well laid out plot. There are references to mental illness, and the journey one takes to self-discovery. Courtney is very strong-minded and has a beautiful personality. Something that our youth can look up to and subsequently, this makes the book an ideal read for our young adults.

Well written review! I like that this is a young adult book with no ridiculous romance. This book intrigues me concerning her mental state. I'm now wondering if the aliens are real or if they stand for something else.

I'm used to YA tropes, especially the worn-out love story, and I'm glad to know that because of your review I needn't worry about it while reading this book. It is quite informative and discreet. Well done!

These initial chapters were written to entice, and to make the reader want to continue reading non stop. My curiosity has been piqued so I have purchased the book and continued reading.
I know the ongoing chapters will be as exciting as the first two and I have recommended this book to my friends.

Enjoyed the sample and will buy this book for my teen niece -- it really has an authentic voice. Well written, good story. A 4 star plus from me.

This seems relatable for me, and I'm glad that there is not love centered plot. While I'm not one for thrillers, this looks interesting.

Wonderful review. This sounds like a good in-depth story that you wouldn't be able to put down. I'm a big romance person, but I can see where that would be too much in this book.
