Great sci-fi fantasy read - adventure, romance, battles ... All the feels
I've had this on my TBR list for a long time and I am so glad I finally got to reading it. I really enjoyed the storytelling and character building - it had me in tears within the first few chapters and cheering by the end. I am looking forward to reading the next one.

I have really been on a sci-fi romance kick lately so I was looking forward to this story. It had it’s good points and bad points, While it was enjoyable, it wasn’t perfect.

The bad is that it was a cliché stereotype of sci-fi romance that did not bring anything new to the table. I felt that the reader was thrown into the story with no prior knowledge of the world building, leaving the reader lost and frustrated. I felt the descriptions we were given weren’t relevant. I also loathe the idea of alpha males and their “fated mates.” I feel most authors use it as an excuse to force two characters together so that the eventually can stand each other.

The good is that there are strong female leads and, despite not having much background given, the worlds were pretty interesting.

Movie Favorite Watch

"Coming up to more recent years, I think Meet Joe Black, again, was a tear-jerky chick flick for me that I loved. And the performances…Anthony Hopkins can do no wrong, Brad Pitt‘s become a favorite as well, and Claire Forlani — stop already! All that girl has to do is blink and I’m enraptured. And that was another romance with a sci-fi twist; death coming to take a holiday."

This series...I really could imagine it as some Sci-fi blockbuster with some hot hunky Hollywood actor as Trey and some cute blonde as Kricket. It could be so epic!

In case you haven't figured I'm in love with this series. It's so good. Non stop action/romance/commeraderie. I pretty much love all the good guys. Kyon, I kinda wanna stab in the eye or something but everyone else ❤

Knox Kevel is a unique character. A hacker with asthma and who have been trying to get past his parent's reputation. Set in both Florida and Italy. This sci-fi adventure thriller with a bit of romance is hard to label but a pleasure to read. It starts off a bit slow but hard to put down once it starts going.
Now I need to some how find my way to the Amalfi Coast.
