Description

When the impossibly hot new quarterback ignores all the pretty cheerleaders competing for his attention to come over and sit at YOUR lunch table… what do you do?
I’ve always been the class dork—shy, bookish, not particularly pretty and definitely not popular. In other words, I’ve never been anybody important. Orphaned twice as a toddler, I’m not even sure who I am, other than a burden to my super-strict adoptive “aunt.” But then the gorgeous new quarterback, Rigel, arrives at Jewel High and turns his back on all the popular girls vying for his attention to seek out ordinary me—of all people! I’m over the moon, of course, but the first time Rigel touches me, sparks fly—literally! Then weird things start happening. Suddenly, I no longer need my thick glasses. My complexion improves, too. When I demand to know what’s going on, the answer both thrills and terrifies me. Not only is Rigel my bonded soulmate, apparently I’m not such a nobody after all! But my unexpected status comes with huge risks that threaten both my life and our newfound love.
Book 1 of an electrifying YA sci-fi romance series from a NYT bestselling author, where teen romance blends with science fiction to open a whole new world of action, adventure and discovery!

    I’m big for YA, teen books. I can never grow out of those. And this book had me on my toes constantly. At first I thought oh wow this is heading in one direction and I like it. And then boom plot twist as to what I was actually expecting. Still was on a similar path though. Gets you at that. The book was an easy read. Not hard to keep track with if you put it down for a few hours. 1-2 words that made me question my vocabulary but only further expanded it. Can’t wait to get started on book two. Bought it just as I was on the last 10 pages. The ending is like okay I can end this book here if I don’t continue to read it. Cuz it comes to a full “close” for certain things. Doesn’t leave a cliff hanger on the romance part of it all. But it does for the rest of it!

    The romance in this book is amazing! Really edge of your seat type action as well!

    Interesting story idea but the teen drama was a bit much. Still, I have downloaded the next in the series to see where the story goes from here.
  • Perfect if you want a bit of a cliché

    I personally love the small bits of expected romantic events and then the unexpected bits that ensnare you in this fantastically bizarre tale of a Martian princess and her prince. Honestly 10 out of 10 would recommend. Hope to read the others in the series soon.
  • THIS IS WONDERFUL
