Tati "In the future, only one rule will matter:

Don’t. Ever. Peek.

Seventeen-year-old Ari Alexander just broke that rule and saw the last person she expected hovering above her bed — arrogant Jackson Locke, the most popular boy in her school. She expects instant execution or some kind of freak alien punishment, but instead, Jackson issues a challenge: help him, or everyone on Earth will die.

Ari knows she should report him, but everything about Jackson makes her question what she’s been taught about his kind. And against her instincts, she’s falling for him. But Ari isn’t just any girl, and Jackson wants more than her attention. She’s a military legacy who’s been trained by her father and exposed to war strategies and societal information no one can know — especially an alien spy, like Jackson. Giving Jackson the information he needs will betray her father and her country, but keeping silent will start a war."

Tati I agree with you! I'm still at the first chapter and I wasn't so sure I actually understood how the whole thing works. But the writing really pulled me in in that chapter


Rachmi  | 4882 comments Yes, the writing is good. It reminds me of the Host by Stephenie Meyer. I hope it's better than the Host, though. I think I just let it pass those scene I couldn't picture it :D

How far are you now?
I've finished it but haven't decided how many stars I will give. I have things I liked but also things didn't quite like.


message 15: by Tati (new)

Tati I've just started chapter 16. So far, I'd give it 3 stars, as it is a good book, but nothing to write home about.


message 16: by Tati (new)

Tati Finished! What a cliffhanger!!


Rachmi  | 4882 comments I gave it 3 stars also. It was good but not good enough to amaze me :)

On Earth, seventeen-year-old Ari Alexander was taught to never peek, but if she hopes to survive life on her new planet, Loge, her eyes must never shut. Because Zeus will do anything to save the Ancients from their dying planet, and he has a plan.

Thousands of humans crossed over to Loge after a poisonous neurotoxin released into Earth's atmosphere, nearly killing them. They sought refuge in hopes of finding a new life, but what they became were slaves, built to wage war against their home planet. That is, unless Ari and Jackson can stop them. But on Loge, nothing is as it seems...and no one can be trusted.



Rachmi  | 4882 comments Thanks Sarah, I'm kinda forget the detail of book 1. Guess I have to reread or at least skimming it first :)

I didn't get either but then with the way Zeus treats him and his grandmother and everyone else, I think it's understandable.
