[Reeda Booke · Rating 1 out of 5]

I read this book until about the 50% mark and I couldn't take it anymore. The writing just seemed amateurish, and I did not care for any of the characters or what happened to them. My biggest complaint was all the New Age junk that was thrown out there. As a Christian, it was too much for me to take.
DNF'd at 50%. Not recommended.

Pros: Good storyline. Interesting characters. Kept me engaged.
Cons: Writing style seemed a bit juvenile. Obvious facts overstated. Seemed a bit preachy at times.
All in all, a good read. Glad I had the opportunity to read this book.

I don’t usually read Sci-Fi’s. I learned more about a few new science terms: nova, portal, ufologist, ambient energy… Kind of slow going for awhile, but I enjoyed the intense energy that went into returning Jenna to her parents.

This book is very engaging. I bought the nook e-book version and finished it in 2 days. I hope there will be more books from this author.
