Synopsis
The story begins with Alice, an only child of strictly religious parents. Alice was raised in a castle home, extremely sheltered from the world -- homeschooled, with no access to internet, TV, or a phone. Alice's only interaction with the outside world is Sunday service at church.
On her sixteenth birthday, Alice begs her parents to let her have a job -- and so, she begins working at The Golden Library. And along comes Quade Zellow, or "Q.Z.," who she meets at work. Over the years, the two of them develop a strong connection.
One night, while driving home from work, Q.Z. is kidnapped. He wakes up tied to a chair, surrounded by a group of strange figures dressed in black cloaks -- including Alice's mother, Elizabeth! It turns out, behind the church, is a secret society of aliens -- nicknamed "Red Ones," who are part of a worldwide, evil conspiracy.
The "Red Ones" are an alien breed who secretly live among the humans, preying on them for the psychic energy of their blood. Alice has high quality, golden blood -- and Elizabeth has made a pact with the leader to sacrifice her daughter once she reaches full maturity in her late twenties.
Q.Z. is their greatest threat -- because he may be the only one who can save Alice from her creul destiny. Elizabeth makes it her mission to psychologically torture him until he completely loses his mind. But Q.Z. will do whatever it takes.
My Thoughts
I woke up this morning and was trying to remember the name of the show I was watching the day before and I realised after a few minutes that it wasn’t a show at all, but was this book. The writing was good enough to allow me to all but make a mental movie out of the words on the page, and it was a movie I couldn’t wait to continue watching.
Looking forward to the next book. This one was a bit short for my liking, but kept me interested throughout. I could not be more happy with the time spent reading this book. Good characters nice twists and turns and a totally fun read. Enough bad guys to keep you on your toes. Cant wait for the next book by Laura Cyrena Kellogg. I must say its another immersive adventure that involves you such that putting the book down is yet another challenge whilst reading this adventure all can enjoy. As the story progresses on I find myself getting drawn more and more into the story. Any story that can draw you into it and make you forget for a moment that you’re sitting here reading a story, is the sign of excellence.
Overall I really didn’t enjoy were the small scenes from other perspectives where you had no idea who the author was talking about and had to guess or figure out who they were later. It would’ve been very helpful to have some small information regarding who was being talked about especially when they were a new character.
Highly Recommended!
