Well Written Alien Dystopian

The thing about aliens is the unlimited possibilities. What I loved was that this book have a storyline with a fresh twist. Elements were classic, but there were many plot points that were innovative.

Fascinating Premise

I've read and watched a lot on blood type. It's an intriguing topic with many ideologies tied to it. The ancient alien or even modern alien abduction hypotheses are definitely entertaining. However, I'm not sure I'm sold on it.

Quotes by J.M. Northup  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I felt ancient and exhausted. I felt like a prisoner within myself and as if I was just watching a movie that was playing before my eyes. I just wanted all of it to end and disappear; I wanted to disappear.”
J M Northup, A Prisoner Within

“I was surprised hearing my own ragged voice. I sounded so hateful and angry. My voice didn’t resemble any part of what I knew of myself.”
J M Northup, A Prisoner Within

“I wouldn’t let the old voices dictate me; I wouldn’t let anyone dictate who I was anymore. I was strong enough to know who I was and I wasn’t going to be beaten down again.”
J M Northup, A Prisoner Within

“Life moved, as inconstant and fickle as Wind Baby, frolicking, sleeping, weeping, but never truly still. Never solid or finished. Always like water flowing from one place to the next. Seed and fruit. Rain and drought, everything traveled in a gigantic circle, an eternal process of becoming something new. But we rarely saw it. Humans tended to see only frozen moments, not the flow of things.”
Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear, Bone Walker

“Even in darkness, there’s light. You just need to look for it.”
J M Northup, Fears of Darkness

“Grace allows forgiveness and faith allows hope.”
J M Northup, Fears of Darkness

“Although some part of me knew that it was an impossible future, I allowed myself to be immersed fully in my dream. If I couldn’t have this future, I would at least have this moment.”
J M Northup, Fears of Darkness

“Regardless of the outcome, I needed to know that I lived my life the way I felt was right and just. I needed to let the past be the past and take people as they were in this moment; the only moment to exist.”
J M Northup, Fears of Darkness
