Review

What happens when your next door neighbors are not from this planet? Holly spends most of her nights in her roof watching the stars, when she notices that a new neighbors she learns that her new neighbor is a really friendly girl, but the same can’t be said about her brother, that not only is overprotective but he also doesn’t seem to like Holly at all. But the more Amira wants to befriend Holly, the more she is also forced to be around Jai.
I find this synopses too revealing. We don’t find out why the family next door is so strange and why they are living there until at least half way in the book. So avoid the synopses if you want to be surprised.
I like how Amira and Holly look alike and Amira teach Holly how to feel good in her own skin and to wear her clothes in a proud way. Her relationship with Jai develops slowly and I certain love the whole constellation mythology that’s told in the book. It’s a different kind of story, a good different and I read it really fast because it was hard to stop, I wish that we could see more of the characters. Bacause even though the end is great, you can’t help wondering if there could be something more.
Story: This was very creative and I couldn’t help but keep reading about this alien race that are pretty much like ours but just happen to live very far from Earth.
Romance: I loved how Jai and Holly’s relationship was developed, they may have been a little interested in each other but they went through the getting to know each other, to being friends to finally admitting their feelings for each other. For me it was a real as normal relationship between two people.

Hidden: A Crossroads Tale by Lori Saltis My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a great novella and it explain a bit of the background of some characters in the crossroads series. I was curious about why Roy and Cat were not together before the Folly since they know each other for a long time. And How George and Mike as twins never got along to the point of what we discovered in the end of Folly. And I was curious about the whole possible connection between the ying pearl dissapearance and the wisdom pearl too. I'm afraid to say too much and spoil someone that's is reading this before one of the books of Crossroads. We get a few of the answers but of course, there's always a lot to put together and it seems that the Two Dragon Clan has be dealing with deception for quite some time already. For a clan with so many traditions, the people involved often seem to try to take some advantage above each other, the clan seems to be power hungry for a lo
