After a car accident and an oddly familiar stranger turn her world upside down, she is forced to question everything she thought she once knew. Thrust into a world of betrayal, loss, and love.

The worlds that separated us is a really enjoyable read for those who loves YA fantasy, aliens (yes, aliens 😍), sci-fi and love triangles. I really enjoyed reading it because it was a quick and easy read, the pages read themself and I couldn't put it down. The created world is amazing, the plot is interesting and I think that TWTSU is a really good start for a duology but I want to know more about them. The storyline maintained my interest, I was moving fast and finished in no time. Personally, I can't wait for book 2, to read more about the protagenist, the world, and the situations she's dealing with and see where the story goes. It's a really refreshing read, which you need after a long day. I loved Rosie, Caleb, Grayson and Ezra. They were my sunshines. 😁

"It doesn't take someone to live through a war to know how to fight it."

(3.5/5 stars: Has potential, definitely!) Thank you, Megan, for sending me an ARC of your first book baby in exchange for an honest review! I enjoyed getting to know the gang, and can't wait to see where they will go next!

TWTSU follows the story of Rosie, a teenager with a seemingly picture-perfect life: she's got a sweet, amazing boyfriend, a caring brother, an incredible best friend, parents that adore her, a part-time job that allows her some independence, and an apparently normal future ahead of her. This all comes crumling down, though, when she has a car accident, and wakes up to a whole new life she didn't know she had. Lives and worlds are at stake, and Rosie may be the key to halt the war before it goes too far.

First and foremost: for me, 3 stars is NOT a bad rating. Meh ratings are two stars, and bad ones are one star, but three means, "This book's okay! I did enjoy it! There are some things that I personally think could be developed further, or polished, but overall it's a nice read". As I know not everyone sees the 3 star ratings the same way, I wanted to make my own take on them clear!

The plot itself made me think of Jupiter Ascending, a little: Rosie doesn't know who she truly is, and when she finds out, all hell breaks loose. I will admit, though, that I find Ezra way more attractive than Channing Tatum. (Sorry, Channing) Even though she has no clue what's going on, she has to learn quick, because a war is raging on and there's no time to waste! There were also some sub-plots regarding the collision between Rosie's two lives: the human life she led until the accident, and her true heritage. It's a duality that consumes Rosie, and I could feel for her as she struggled to decide what was best for everyone. Nonetheless, I would've liked to have some more twists. The villain that's mentioned first apparently has no motivations, besides pure evil, to do what he does. Okay. Bad guy. I hate his guts. But why? What motivated him to do what he did? What's the reason for his evillious ways? Then there was a big reveal towards 70-75%, which I will admit I saw coming. That character had shown a very strange behaviour for the role he was supposed to have from the beginning, so he was a very easy suspect and not hard to spot as the next villain. His connection to mr. X was the one thing I didn't expect, but still, plot-wise, I think I would have enjoyed a twist or two more.

This story is peppered with an interesting cast of characters. Even though I at first couldn't stand Caleb, I ended up growing fond of him, and the same happened with Ezra. He was a jerk at first, for my taste at least, but he matures as the story unfolds and thankfully does better. Rosie, herself... She's okay, I think? I couldn't connect with her much because her personality wasn't clear to me, and she really rushed to trust what she was told, and do what she was suggested to. I missed a more rebellious streak, or a more reasonable suspicion, in her, as well as more defined traits. Still, this is a book series, and I do think she'll have room to grow and develop in the next book. Aside from this Silver Trio, there are other characters that are around and spice up the story. With Knox I had the same problem as with Rosie: he's described as a rebellious guy, but we don't get to be shown anything to indicate that. Again, in future installments he and the others (Liam, Nora, Heather) will hopefully get some time to show us who he is and what he has to offer.

If I had to point out the aspect that, to my mind, could be polished, it's descriptions. Curse them, right!? It's SO difficult to balance out the right amount. But I did miss descriptions of the places, of Rosie's thoughts and feelings, of her personal opinion on things. Sometimes it was a little difficult to picture what was exactly going on, because the lack of details made it harder to envision the setting and conflict at hand in the scene. Still, there isn't a universal formula for this, and it's such a subjective opinion! I do think other people who don't need as much description as I do (ie. those blessed with spatial memory, because I personally need the descriptions of the places to help me with my ZERO ability to envision spaces and settings) will not find this issue at all, and will enjoy the ride immensely.

All in all, TWTSU was a good debut for Jayne, and I'm personally curious to see where the story goes. Will be keeping an eye out for the sequel! (I hope the title is as AMAZING as the one for TWTSU. Seriously, this title? Is? STELLAR!?)

I felt like this book was a little awkward for lack of better word to describe it. It would jump from scene to scene without any cohesiveness. The overall tone of the book felt a bit too childish for the age of the characters and everything felt too rushed. Almost all of the characters feel like they were just dropped into the story instead of integrated into it seamlessly. The plot itself was good, but I just feel like it needed more details. There was really such a lack of world building and character building in my opinion. What little details we did get made Atheria sounds so lovely and I really wish there had been more of that. I know there will be a sequel, but I really don’t think I’ll be reading it.

Thanks to the publisher for providing an eARC of The Worlds That Separated Us in exchange for an honest review.

There are some interesting plot ideas and character dynamics here, but I don't think it's all that enjoyable unless you're either way out of the characters' age brackets or you're really, really willing to suspend your disbelief. Our MC is an adult (I think 21ish) but her inner voice is incredibly juvenile and the rest of the characters also treat her more like a 15/16 year old the whole book to the point of it becoming a distracting discrepancy. Aging her down would have also helped tackle how easily the narrative wants her to wholeheartedly believe everything she's told about her secret true non-human identity because while even 16 year olds would probably be a bit shellshocked and reluctant, you'd at least be able to play it off as her being in a life stage where personal identity is already a lot more vague and fluid. I do think a few things were really well done here, especially with a few character arcs and plot thread conclusions where Jayne strays from what you would normally expect in a book that at first appeared to be full of genre hallmarks.

I really enjoyed the book, every single theme that is written in the book it's amazing.

I really loved all the story and the way you describe the characters and their emotions makes you feel closer to them.

Thank you the author and MTMC Tours for providing me with a free digital copy of this book for exchange for an honest review.

The Worlds That Separated Us follows new grad Rosie as she prepares to figure out what to do with the rest of her life. She knows she can't work at her resturant job forever but what else is there to do? She has a loving boyfriend and her brother doesn't approve of them dating even though he is dating Rosie's best friend. However, after a long night, Rosie gets into a car accident and everything has changed for Rosie and the world she thought she knew.

This is a pretty solid debut and start of a duology! I did have some problems with the book but I did enjoy reading it. TWTSU is a quick and easy read which I always like especially for a fantasy/sci-fi. I did enjoy the character we got to know but at times they didn't seem to act like they were recent or a few years out of college. It definitely more so felt like they were out of high school, and if this is what Jayne went with, I feel like it would have been a higher rating for me. However, Rosie is very relatable for the 'fresh out of college doesn't know what to do with her life' plot because that's for sure something so many (including me) feel. Besides the fact that they did feel like they were younger, I did enjoy the main characters. Rosie, Caleb, Grayson, and Ezra were all likable characters and all had their good and bad moments. However, I do wish we got to know more about them but since this is only book 1, I'm sure in book 2 we will learn more.

The plot itself of this book, I really enjoyed the idea of it! A normal girl finding out she really isn't from earth PLUS a love triangle, made for a pretty good story. I really enjoyed that the romance is a slow burn and not even fully on by the end of the book. I do feel like at points the plot moved very fast and at other times, it was super slow and dragged on a little bit. I do wish the reasoning behind the war and the bad guy was explained a little more because I felt a little lost as to why it was all happening. Also there are powers but they're not super explained so again, I was a little lost. Some spots were written a little weird and awkwardly and at times, it was a little hard to see past this.

So with that all being said, I did not dislike this book. This is Jayne's debut novel and it is only the first book of a duology so this needs to be kept in mind. I think going forward, if book two is a little more refined, and maybe a little more into the plot, it would be really good. I do think I will read book two once it comes out!

Rosie has the perfect life on earth with a doting and supportive family and the perfect boyfriend called Greyson. Unfortunately after a terrible car accident her world comes crumbling down when she discovers her human existence is completely falsified and she has in fact led an alternative life in a different world. Instantly drawn in, I liked the whole premise of the story and it is well crafted and compelling. It is packed with interesting and diverse characters, I enjoyed getting to know each of them and you will definitely find a favourite. Kai certainly spiced up the story with his villainous ways and added extra drama and suspense to the storyline. The magic system is fascinating and I liked the fact that each character had their own unique special powers. In particular I enjoyed the ‘projections’ that Rosie could produce transporting us to different worlds and countries.

There is a love-triangle romance which comes about due to Rosie’s two separate lives and as such she has found herself with two men she cares for in her life, however this awkward situation is carefully and subtly resolved by the author. I was quite fond of Caleb and Libby, they were such a lovely couple and I enjoyed following their relationship too.

It is a fast-paced novel and there is plenty of action going on. The impending violent war brewing between two worlds adds to the suspense to the plot and the storyline built up nicely to a dramatic and exciting conclusion.

A delightful novel which is engaging and easy to follow. It is perfect for a teenage audience who love a bit of angst, romance and excitement in their stories, although as an adult reader I found it entertaining and fun to read too. A great debut novel by the author, which has so much more potential and room to grow and I’m looking forward to seeing were the next instalment takes us. I’d certainly love to see more of Atheria, the world Rosie originates from. The beautiful cover definitely deserves a mention, as well as the fabulous chapter art.

Thank you MTMC tours and the author for gifting me a copy of this book and for inviting me on the tour.

Thanks to the author for providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Worlds that Separated Us is a debut YA fantasy novel by Megan Jayne. This book is about Rosie, a teenager who, after surviving a car accident, learns she's not from Earth but another world which is now on the brink of war and she might be the key to save her world from evil. The plot was really interesting but I felt a lack of world building and character building in it. I would've liked to know more about the characters, the other worlds and the abilities. I didn't care much for the characters at first, but some of them grew on me towards the end. The pace was a bit off at times and the story was more tell than show. I did see that twist coming but the ending was something I did not. Overall, it was a good book and I had fun reading it (the beautiful cover doesn't hurt either!) The author definitely has potential and I am looking forward to reading more of her works in the future.

I received an advance review copy from Xpresso Book Tours through Netgalley; all opinions are my own and honest.

DNF @ 8%

Maybe it's not completely fair to DNF after the first chapter, but I can tell that this book and I just aren't a good match; I highly doubt reading any further would change my mind.

I have no sense of the characters, their relationships, their personalities, or their deeper motivations beyond common archetypes and what's explicitly stated (told, not shown), so getting emotionally invested in the story is an uphill battle. The narration frequently goes off on tangents for lengthy visual descriptions or reinforcement of archetypes/tropes/cliches or expository infodumps. And the writing style just doesn't really work for me: cliches, stilted dialogue, tons of adjectives and adverbs, tense-switching between past and present, plus countless comma splices and sentence fragments, the last of which isn't necessarily wrong — I don't believe in prescriptive grammar rules, especially for fiction — but in this case felt arbitrary rather than purposeful.

I'm pretty good a gauging how a story will go and though there was some parts I guessed right, I would have to admit there were others I hadn't. This was a nice easy read and I look forward to reading the sequel. I'm invested now, I need to know what happens next!

[Haley Puryear · Rating 5 out of 5]

Overall rating 4.5 stars!!

The first thing I need to ask is - will this be a series? Because how dare we be left on an ending like that!!!

A little background: Rosie is a recent graduate trying to figure out what she is supposed to do next in the world. She has a wonderful family, a supportive friend and a sweet boyfriend. Until one night a terrible storm sends her car off the road and brings back the past she had forgotten. Rosie must come to terms with the fact that her entire human existence was fabricated, her true home is under attack, and she is the one who can save them all!

This book required a lot of world and character building, because this is and entirely new universe to dive into. So it does feel a little slow in the beginning but it is worth it.

There is a love triangle in it. Personally I like love triangles - something about the angst of it all - and I think this one fit to the overall story. She had two separate lives, it made sense that there would be some overlap.

Megan has set an amazing standard for her writing and has left me wanting more!

[Bernice Burgos · Rating 5 out of 5]

I actually rated this book a 4.5, but I rounded it to a 5 because goodreads doesn't let me do half-stars.

Synopsis: Rosie is your typical young adult. She comes from a supportive family, has a great bond with her brother, an amazing best friend, and is dating the man of her dreams, Greyson. Things are going well. Until a tragic car accident snatches the life she’s ever known. Rosie is brought to the harsh reality that her entire human existence was fabricated to protect her true identity. Now, her species needs her back. A violent war has destroyed her planet and she is the missing link to help end the fight.

The Good: For her first debut novel, Megan Jayne has sure raised the bar high for herself. This book was very well developed, plotted, and left me needing to know more about Rosie’s world. I enjoyed seeing Rosie transition from human to embracing her real identity. There were excellent side characters that helped enhance the story-line. I had many favorite characters, like Ezra and Libby. But Greyson was my favorite.

The Bad: As in most YA books there is the disastrous love triangle that occurs. It never fails that I always end up rooting for the wrong side, never intentionally. Although I adored both of Rosie’s love interests, I was heartbroken when things didn't turn out as I’d expected.

The Ugly: I have one line. “Damn Greyson, you got the shit end of the stick.” Read the book if you want to know exactly what that means.

Overall: I rate this book a 4.5 out of 5. It is the first book in its series and was tremendously enjoyable. The world-building and story-line were very well crafted and I devoured every page of it. This Book is set to release in May 2021. Make room on your TBR’s because this story is definitely worth the read!

[Daughterofthewords]

I don't know if this is a debut novel, but it feels like that from the way it is written. The story concept is fascinating, it immediately made me think of Smallville: the kid from another planet growing up on earth. However the psychology of the characters and the world building didn't feel mature enough to me. Everything happens really fast and you don't really have a way to empathize with the characters. We could have had, for instance, some glitches about the main character's real identity, that could build up to the revelation. Rosie, the MC, is 21, but acts somehow like she's a 16 year old.
To sum it up, the book has some interesting raw material, but it could use some editing.

[Elouise · Rating 3 out of 5]

For a debut author, this was pretty good. It was also fun to read something by an Irish author; I’m not sure I’ve read any of those before.

Rosie has recently graduated from university, but has no idea what to do with her life. She goes to see a concert with a friend of hers, and decides to drive home by herself in the middle of the night, which… doesn’t exactly end well. Rosie finds out that she isn’t from Earth at all, and is thrust into a situation where she doesn’t know who she can trust.

I want to start off by saying that three stars is not a bad rating. It means there are issues with a book, but overall I still enjoyed it and would probably pick up more books by the author. Four stars is a very good rating for me, and five stars very rare. But The Worlds that Separated Us… let’s say there were some major issues. There were some plot holes, a poorly executed love triangle, and magical abilities that didn’t make a lot of sense. But that’s okay. I can deal with that, especially from a debut author. My biggest complaint, however, is the writing. The sentence structures bothered me a lot. Some random examples from the first chapter:

“Caleb opened the passenger door, taking a seat, he instantly began pressing and twisting each button on the dash. I looked over my shoulder checking my mum and dad were ok with Caleb’s request, when Mum gave me an approving nod, I pulled open the door.”

“We took our seats and turned to look closely at the menu, I don’t even know why I look at it, I have it memorized.”

“As soon as we got inside, we set about to our usual routine of turning on the TV to watch a late-night movie.”

I hoped it would get better as the book went on, but it didn’t. I don’t know much about grammar, but I think the author just smushed clauses together with commas in between them. And it happens a lot. I know it’s probably just because the author is Irish and I shouldn’t let it bother me, but it definitely reduced my enjoyment of the book. I probably would have rated it lower, except somehow I still ended up caring about the characters. Which actually surprised me, all considered, and it took the whole book to get me there. The setting… well, there was none? Kind of? We don’t get any descriptions of pretty much any settings, which was sad. The plot was decent though. But at the end of the day, the characters were what saved this for me. For me characters are probably more important than anything else in a book; if I care about the characters I don’t care so much about plot or setting or dialogue, although all of those things are important. I’ll probably read the second book in the series when it comes out.

Mature content: a couple of d*mns. Some making out, a couple plans to go to a cabin alone for a weekend, a couple sleeps in the same bed (nonsexual). Some fairly graphic violence. I might have missed some things as I read this in the middle of my exam period.

Thank you to the Author for an ARC of this book. I love having this signed print copy in my library!

First the great stuff:
This book has some great themes for the YA audience. Coming of age, where the main character has to leave their family and make the difficult jump to adulthood without their parents. It’s had great emotional range, with emphasis and drama right where teenage readers need and want it in their books. Great drama and romance, with all the complication of loving more than one person at a time.
I would have loved to fall in love with them myself, rather than just take her word for it.
It’s a fast-paced plot with fun twists and the concept of coming from another planet and not knowing until later, has so much potential!

Character arcs are strong and Caleb in particular grew on me.
Jayne captured a very authentic teenage voice in her first-person narrative.

Challenges for me:
Typos happen. They’re normal. Every book has them. But this book has a lot and their recurrence sometimes took me out of the story. Things like “my car span out of control.” Is “span” past tense for “spin” in the UK? I honestly don’t know, but being a reader from the US, I had to stare at it long and hard.

Another challenge for me was the fight training. As someone who has trained mixed martial arts for six years, there were some times when it was clear more research would have been better. For example, we never hit people in the face without gloves on. And yes, they’re aliens, but very human-like. Use gloves. Even professional fighters use gloves to protect their own knuckles. Also the timeline had to be expedited for the sake of the story, but black belt level hand-to-hand fight skills aren’t something that you acquire over a few months.

In short:
Gorgeous cover art. Formatting is easy to read. Beautiful bookmark included. Great concept, themes, and characters.
Better editing, both content and line editing along with a little more research would have done wonders. I would have liked to see the book reach its full potential but all that being said I’m excited to see what else this author comes out with.

Perfect for fans of the Trylle Trilogy by Amanda Hocking, The Worlds That Separated Us is a YA sci-fi novel about recent college graduate, Rosie, and her discovery that her life isn't what she thought it was, and neither is she. Suddenly she's caught up in a war from another planet while torn between the life she has on Earth- and between two amazing boys.

I know I would have absolutely loved this book as a teenager. It had an interesting storyline and I found myself unable to put the book down. Although some plot reveals felt obvious to me, I was still surprised at times and curious to know more. I liked the characters and would love to see where the series goes.

My main complaint is that the book was almost too fast-paced and rushed in certain parts that I would have liked for the author to go into more. I also wish Rosie had been a high school graduate instead of a college graduate because it would have fit the storyline better and the narrator's voice felt more like that of a teenager's. To me it was obvious which love interest is endgame, but I understood Rosie's struggle between her two separate lives and loves and was definitely reminded of the YA books I read when I was younger. Although it wasn't complex in plot or characters enough to completely draw me in now, this book gave me nostalgia for my teenage reading years and I have to smile at that.

I LOVED this book! It held my interest from the beginning and I devoured this book from start to finish. It has a really interesting story line about a girl named Rosie who has the ideally perfect life, but after a severe car accident she wakes up to find out the life she was living was not her life at all. She is now faced with more trials than she could ever imagine along with a whole different life and a whole lot of questions. This book was easy to read, but also kept me on edge waiting to see what would happen next.

I really loved the characters. Rosie is a very likable main character but what really stole the show for me were Ezra and Caleb. I am a sucker for a strong character personality that gives off " touch her and I'll kill you" vibes and that was exactly what I was given in this story.

I can not wait to see what the next installment of this duology brings!

Rosie is a girl fresh out of college and she doesn't know what she wants to do with her life yet (pretty relatable). She's dating a boy who her brother doesn't approve of, while her brother is dating Rosie's best friend. Rosie's is working at a restaurant, and after a long night she is in a car accident.

The idea of this book was good.  I enjoyed the concept and the fresh out of college feel was very relatable. The plot was fast paced and exciting. Personally I felt like the characters behaved a little young for just having finished college, but as an adult it was still a good read. I'm not a big fan of love triangles but I enjoy them when they're well done, which this one was.

I also LOVE the cover, and it gives me some Adrienne Young vibes. Can't wait for the next book in the series!

Thank you to Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for allowing me to have an arc of this book.

Some things I enjoyed:
- As a debut novel, I was impressed by this read. The concept was intriguing and well developed which made it quite an easy read.
- The plot reveals and twists weren’t things I anticipated, I was genuinely surprised with some of them.
- The cover is gorgeous. It has to be mentioned here.

Some things I think could be improved:
- Some of the pacing was a little off. Sometimes it was a bit slow and sometimes I felt like it needed a little more umph.
- The characters came off as younger than they were meant to be.
- I struggled a little to gel with some of the characters. I just wasn’t emotionally attached sometimes.

Overall, I don’t think I’d rush to read the next book, but I’d definitely read it at some point.

Toks lengvas, tradicinis "Young Adult" fantastinis kūrinys, tik, kad apie ateivius,kurie atrodo lygiai taip pat kaip žmonės, tik turi "super galių" ir jų civilinį karą, norint atsikovoti savo planetą. Bei žinoma meilės istorija. 😁
Senai skaičiau jau tokią fantastiką, ir kaip buvau pasiilgus, kai iš tikro skaitant, gali nusikelti į kitą realybę. Ir gyventi kartu su veikėjais tam pasaulyje.
Ir nors knyga mažai kam žinoma, tiksliau tikriausiai beveik niekam, bet tikrai neprasta, ir neblogai parašyta, įtraukė sudomino ir leido pamilti veikėjus! Tad dedu pliusą jai.
Bet mažas(gal kam nors tai būtų ir ne toks mažas) minusas, kuris kainavo knygai žvaigždutę, tai nors ir čia yra fantastika, bet kai kurie autorės pasirinkimai man buvo visai nelogiški ir nesuprantami. 🤷‍♀️

I loved this book from start to finish. It was fast paced and pack with intrigue from the beginning.

The concept of the book was very intriguing and I really looked forward to reading it. The characters for me where what I loved most. Each character felt distinct and their personalities shone through, in particular Caleb won me over after being frustrating at the beginning he ended up as one of my favourite characters.

This was an exciting, fast paced read and one I really enjoyed. The only criticism I personally have is that I wanted more and I can't wait for the sequel after that ending.

This story had SO MUCH potential, but it just didn't come to fruition. It kind of felt like I was reading a first draft.

The premise was so interesting, but the pacing was off, rushed in some places (like the ending) and painfully slow in others. There was also a lack of details. What is this other world? What makes atherians different than humans?

The characters came off much younger than stated, like these were supposed to be like 21-254 years olds and I kept thinking they were teenagers.

I did enjoy the story, it just needed a lot more fleshing out than it has.

I'm glad I didn't buy this book for myself because I did not like the writing at all. I got two chapters in and decided not to continue. It felt like a first draft where the author is just trying to get an overall outline out on paper. There were too many page breaks and I felt like nothing was really flushed out.

I felt no connections to the characters and the drama seemed shallow and vague.

I feel bad for not continuing but there was nothing in the first two chapters that grabbed me and made me want to read more.

Im torn. Its a 3star read for me.

Its an easy read! Aliens yeey!
Characters that are likable yes.

The plot is a bit all over the place, and it takes place on earth. However if you are an world building type it will be confusing at times.

The war well its mentioned and at the last 10% ?? Something relevant to that happens.

There is a love triangle. Well not really. But in someway yes at the beginning.

Overal for a first published book its a really good enjoyable book! Looking forward to how the story and author will progress.

Rosie appears to be just a typical college graduate, until she's in an accident and wakes up staring into the face of a stranger. Now everything Rosie thought to be true is a lie. The world she thought was hers is not her own and she must prepare for a battle to fight for the one she originally came from.

I really enjoyed this book! I'm sad it ended with a cliffhanger. The only thing I didn't like was I felt like some parts were a bit rushed. If you like an easy read, young adult, I'd recommend this book.

Thank you, NetGalley and publisher for the ARC.

Amazing.:-The Worlds That Separated Us.
I have read this story in regular mode and I am filled with the characters involved in the joyous moments of the graduation ceremony about her memories and sometimes some everyday events. She tried to plan for the future after a few incidents happened between friends in the meantime and also that incidents and realized that she had lived in her dream. But author done good job and she is a good writer. So I enjoyed 📚 and I recommend📚to friends. Thank you!

I LOVED this book from start to finish! I couldn't put it down! The story is well plotted and packed with intrigue, but the characters were the best part! I love that this book has all the drama and romance a teenager would want, but innocent enough I could happily let my 10 year old read it, a rare find indeed! You would never guess this was a debut novel and I cannot wait to see what else this author comes up with! Hurry up with the sequel Megan Jayne! 😍

I enjoyed the narration from Jelene Dela Cruz

Rosie believes she has the perfect life until the teenager survived a car accident, then she learns she's not from Earth but another world which is now on the brink of war, and she might be the key to save her world from evil.
Suddenly she's caught up in a war while torn between the life she has on Earth- and between two amazing boys Ezra and Caleb

oh cliff-hanger great book

A war between two Worlds and a love triangle yes please!! Oh and Wow what an ending!! I hope there will be a book two because I need more answers after all that happened. This was a good read... different. It Kind of remind me of a version of a superman story but still different and interesting enough to read the entire book.
