Synopsis: One day Stella is walking home after a bad day at school, the next, she wakes up to find herself a prisoner.
For months the CIA keeps her in an abandoned psychiatric hospital where all she thought she knew about herself is pushed to the limits until it shatters before her eyes.
Her suicidal tendencies and the rest of her psychological issues are the least of her problems as she discovers that she has the key to solving a war between aliens and humans which has been going on for decades.
All she wants is to go back to what things were, but that’s impossible and now she must face a choice:
Which side to pick?
Review: Overall, I thought this was a good book. The story immediately drew me in and the plot kept me interested from beginning to end. The book had some great writing as well overall and the pacing and flow of the book were pretty on point.
However, I couldn’t connect to the characters and I didn’t really care for any of them. The book also didn’t develop the worldbuilding as much as I would have liked to see.
Verdict: It’s good!
