52,000 words.
A UFO sighting in broad daylight changes the life of curvy and smart, but down-on-her-luck Julene Castro, when she moves back home to working-class Cobs Harbor in order to pull her life together.
Unexpectedly, Julene gets swept up in a series of UFO sightings along the Atlantic Coast and swept off her feet by a younger man – Jimmy – her little brother's best friend, who has grown up into a hunk of an auto mechanic. Jimmy confesses that he has had a crush on Julene ever since he was a kid, and now that she's available and he's a grown man, he intends to finally make his move.
At the same time, Julene develops an unexpected friendship with Cobs Harbor's new mayor, the handsome but mysterious Scandinavian – Njord Vanir. Njord's seemingly impossible mission is to revive the community's fishing industry and improve Cobs Harbor's infrastructure to help it withstand the devastating threat of a potential 20-foot-rise in sea level over the next few years, the result of Global Warming.
As the winter rages along the dramatic shoreline of her hometown, sightings of UFOs that defy the traditional “flying saucer” model start to increase. These aircraft instead are black and triangular in shape, quasi-military, and they can park mid-air in full defiance of gravity. Then it starts to become obvious that Julene and her brother are among the very few who can always see them, possibly because of a genetic anomaly they both share that affects their vision.
The one man who might know what is really going on is Crazy Captain Earl, who claims that many of Cobs Harbor's residents are really the descendents of Nordic-Viking aliens, and that a number of the Norse gods themselves are buried in the deep ocean off the coast of Massachusetts. Soon, Crazy Captain Earl won't seem so crazy anymore...

Different, But Great!!
I was gifted this book by the author for an honest review.
I was certainly surprised by this story, but I loved it.. Although there is Sci-Fi in it there is also paranormal, Annora has successfully combined both brilliantly.
There is much intrigue and mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the story.
There is a lot of history in it also which I love, I used to read Historical Romances before becoming a fan of paranormal and I must say that the combination is very refreshing to me. This looks to be a very good series and I do hope that Annora plans to continue writing about these mysterious beings that might very well be real and living among us.
I highly recommend this book, it's very well written

this was a great read. I loved the combination of paranormal with sci fi as they are both genres I enjoy. It also had elements of romance and mythology. What more could you ask for. Even better the strange happenings actually seemed believable. The only thing I disliked was the abrupt ending. If you like a good read in any of the genres I mentioned then this one deserves a read. I hope there's a sequel very soon.

Aliens are among us and we don’t even know it
This is a wonderful beginning to a series that lets us know we’re not alone in the universe. Very original story line with some interesting twists. The end was a little open ended leaving room for more. Looking forward to what the author does with the next story. Well written and enjoyable to read. I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was lucky enough to get a copy of this book and all I want to say is, "I WANT MORE!"
When I read the synopsis I was kind of hesitant, I'm not into UFO's, but as I read the story and the historical background that Annora beautifully portrayed, I am hooked. I hope a new book comes out quickly, there are so many ways this book can go.
It is worth a read and a following.
