Grindrod B.C. Daniel Westford needed a place where he could become invisible far away from his native Oregon and he found it in Grindrod amongst the farms, cattle and timber. For six years he stayed under the radar, working hard to build a life while keeping everyone at arm’s length, including his lover, Border Patrol officer Layla Stormcloud. It was one their weekends together, a clear night with a million stars and everything was right with the world. Crickets sang and a shooting star flew across the heavens. It’s just as well they only watched it and didn’t make a wish because this shooting star changed course and plummeted to the earth. The revelations awaiting them at the crash site will change everything. Heavily guarded secrets of both the man and the universe will be compromised and Daniel’s determination to keep his distance from everyone and everything in his life will be tested. He has the ability to save the town from destruction, but doing so will expose the secret he’s worked so hard to keep, and compromise a relationship that means much more to him than he is willing to admit.
I was hopeful for a good story and was not disappointed. Lots of twists and surprises. Even the blend of aliens keep the story going. I am hopeful that there will be a second book.
I thought I knew where this book was going from the sample, but my thought was not even close. This book is a wild fun read and ends like there might be more in the future. I can only hope more will soon follow.
I've read and liked this author's other stuff, so gave this one a try even though I wasn't really very interested. Glad I did, it was good, sorta mix of science fiction and urban fantasy, plenty of action, witty dialogue, entertaining plot I will definitely read the next one.
Surprisingly fun. I read this because I was waiting for the next Benjamin Jameson book to come out and found myself really wanting the next one in this series to be released as well.
