Alan Nayes

I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. NayeLi is a learner from another planet. She has been here on earth for eight years in her human host with one year left to go. She inhabiting a beautiful human host, but has been using a memory shield, which allows her to interact with other humans meanwhile erasing their memory of the incident.

Jared is a successful doctor. He lost his wife two years prior in horrendous car accident caused by a drunk driver. Unable to move on, he continually thinks of her and still drives her Lexus that she only had two weeks to enjoy. His friends and family think that he’s spent enough time mourning, and begins setting him up on dates. None of these women have the beauty his wife had to capture his attention…until now.

This is a great paranormal romance! Jared’s attraction to NayeLi is instantaneous. The characters have such interesting personalities and the situations so descriptive that I was drawn in from the very beginning and kept captivated right up until the end. The only issue that I had was the constant use of the alien terminology; the confusion took away from the story. Other than that, I’m looking forward to the next in the series.

Story: 2/10
What could have been an interesting scientific mystery became a trite and predictable piece of drivel after the first hundred or so pages.
The suspense was lacking: I figured out what Ben was, what had happened to him, and how the story was going to play out within the first quarter of the book.

Characters: 4/10
I didn't really care for the characters. Few of them felt genuine, and it seemed like their relationships and histories were thrown in for no reason other than "a book needs characters".

Writing: 5/10
Not impressive but not horrible either. At times, however, it felt like Nayes was offering us a science lessons that weren't pertinent to the story, as if to say, "Man, I'm a doctor. Look what I know."

Overall: 2.5/10
Not impressed with this book at all. I felt unclean after reading it.

Not recommended.… (mehr)
