Rosamund Brandt has had a semi-normal life for sixteen years. Well, semi-normal for a family descended from aliens. Sure, she could create portals and her family had a secret basement. But she went to school, had a best friend, and got her driving permit like every other teen.

However, her definition of “normal” unravels when a killer with multiple powers and an agenda steps into town. When Rosamund herself becomes a target, she has a choice between playing the killer’s game and saving a few, or getting to the core of the murders and stopping them for good.

Rosamund’s choice will save everyone she cares about–or unleash a new era for herself and her family, shattering whatever hope for going back to normal she had.

Really good characters, lots of intrigue, a bit of horror, a dab of heartstrings, mass confusion and this is a rollicking good book. Nicely done Amy Saunders.

This was a good Clean read. It was confusing at times trying to keep up with all the information. Well worth time. A few editing errors but easy flowing, suspenseful, strong female lead character.

I couldn't read this fast enough! This was a book I didn't put down until it was finished. Unique, great characters, plot keeps you guessing and is filled with enough action to satisfy most readers! SciFi, paranormal, shifter, and alien life fans will enjoy this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars QUICK, EASY READ **(3.25 STARS)**
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2016

I found this to be a quick, easy, clean read and finished it in less than four hours. I found the concept intriguing; aliens are here and they hide among us in plain sight.

The main protagonist of the series, Rosamund Brandt, her brother Xavier and her family are one of these groups of aliens living in Maine and there are other aliens that live in the same community, but Rosamund doesn’t understand why her parents hold these drills at odd hours when none of the other families do. The aliens are able to assimilate into the culture using DNA altering agents that they have with them and they also have other medical and technical items that will fascinate techies.

The story starts out quickly, stalls some in the middle and finishes with a cliff-hanger. While the story was entertaining and I will read book 2, there are some things that fell flat. There were characters that just appeared only to be killed off when because of who and what they were they should not have been so easily caught in the killers nets. Also the abilities that some, but not all aliens have are not explained, yet we are told that the people who have been killed have rare abilities. How do they know what abilities the dead had and why are they rare? Do they have a test that lets them know what the dead aliens abilities were and if not, how do they get the information? How are these abilities acquired and at what age do they start to manifest? Is it a matter of genetics or just something that happens to some and not others? Then there is the Bryce, Lachlan, Rosamund triangle that it felt like the author was trying to create, except it never worked because it always seemed as if Lachlan was the one they were looking for, but any readers know that would be way too easy and then in the cliffhanger we get a hint that he may be someone else entirely. Then there is another huge problem that I felt was overlooked; their parents tell them that they need to come straight home and stay there because of everything that has happened and continues to happen, yet they are never at home except at night and they never call or check their security system that the reader assumes they have because of everything else they have to see if the kids are safe at home.

3.25/5 STARS: **I want to thank the author and/or publisher for providing me with a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review; all opinions are mine.**

Got a little draggy for a good part of the book. Little to no romance and no real chemistry. Good cliffhanger. Hope the next one has a little more meat to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never ending surprises.
Reviewed in Canada on November 28, 2016

Reading this is something like negotiating an unknown maze blindfolded.
No less enthralling, but the mysteries are incredibly well thought ought and woven throughout.
So nice to read a book that completely mystified, then explains without making a reader feel either foolish for not having figured it out, nor like they've wasted an entire book on an unsolvable series of puzzles.
Definitely an author to follow!!
