In the future, only one rule will matter:
Don’t. Ever. Peek.
Seventeen-year-old
Ari Alexander just broke that rule and saw the last person she expected
hovering above her bed — arrogant Jackson Locke, the most popular boy in her
school. She expects instant execution or some kind of freak alien punishment,
but instead, Jackson issues a challenge: help him, or everyone on Earth will
die.
Ari knows she
should report him, but everything about Jackson makes her question what she’s
been taught about his kind. And against her instincts, she’s falling for him.
But Ari isn’t just any girl, and Jackson wants more than her attention. She’s a
military legacy who’s been trained by her father and exposed to war strategies
and societal information no one can know — especially an alien spy, like
Jackson. Giving Jackson the information he needs will betray her father and her
country, but keeping silent will start a war.
We meet good old aliens here again. The weird thing for me is that most of dystopians are connected with something paranormal like vampires and some other creatures but everyone keeps forgetting good ol' aliens. Don't be like that - you all remember little green creatures. Yeah but they're not like that here. They look like a real humans as it's easier for them to coexist with humans like that. Every night aliens visit human and there is only one rule Don't. Ever. Peak. but Ari does that. That night she discovers something that changed her completely. She never new that aliens were so close to them. Soon a lot of things start to happen on Earth and Ari must pick a side. Will she go with her own specie or maybe change sides.
This was a interesting read for me. It had some ups and downs. Generally it has some new elements that I haven't seen before but still it has a lot of standard dystopian elements. But the main thing here is that I'm dying to read the sequel. A new world is calling for me!
Rating: 3.5 stars.
Until the next time,
Gravity definitely sounds interesting but I don't know if I'll get to it. The whole don't ever peek has got me intrigued so maybe if I get a chance I'll get to it. Great review Tanja! :)

I really expect a lot form the next book in this series. Yeah it's a bit catchy cause I don't think everyone live according to the rules. Thanks Janhvi :)
IzbrišiI'm not really a fan of alien stories so I like that in this case they look like humans!
OdgovoriIzbrišiYes they do. I can't wait to see their planted though :)
IzbrišiThis wasn't as great as I was hoping it would be, but I did like it well enough overall. I agree, it's not faultless. I'm glad you're still looking forward to the second book though. Great review as always!
OdgovoriIzbrišiYes I've got high expectations for this one too. I hope you'll get to read the sequel too :)
IzbrišiI take dying to read the sequel as a really good sign, even if there were a flew flaws with this first installment. I think I'll wait and see what you think of book two when it comes out (or it is already out?) before I decide to pick this series up or not:) Thanks for your thoughts Tanja!
OdgovoriIzbrišiYes but I believe that the sequel really has a potential :) I don't think it's out yet ;) You've got time. Thanks Jenny :)
IzbrišiI haven't seen much about this one, but since it drew you in and you want to continue with sequel, I will have to check it out
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope you'll enjoy it :)
IzbrišiI've been wanting to check this one out for the longest. I've seen some pretty good things about and I would definitely like to check out a dystopian alien book :) Awesome review!
OdgovoriIzbrišiJanina @ Synchonized Reading
Yeah it's really worth reading. Thanks Janina :)
IzbrišiGreat review :D Thank you for being honest. <3 I still haven't read Gravity :( I need to. Because I do think it will be awesome. Glad you mostly enjoyed it :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiThank you for commenting on my blog. <3
Love, Carina @ Carina's Books
I hope you'll get to read it soon! :) Thanks for stopping by Carina :) <3
IzbrišiI'm glad that you've enjoyed it too! :) I hope you'll get to read the sequel too. Thanks Heidi :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiI've never read a review for this book actually. I do remember when everyone was excited about it. Aliens are still iffy for me but I do like this concept I actually always thought aliens if there ever were any out there would look like us. The fact that you are dying to read the sequel says everything (;
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope you'll get to read this one. I mean writing a book about aliens isn't easy. That's right :)
IzbrišiI've seen a lot of mixed reviews for this one which has made me wary. On one hand, a LOT of readers seem to like this, but the flaws they pointed out seem to be issues I'd definitely face if I were to pick this up. I do love the cover and concept of this, though, so maybe if the sequel is better, I'll return to it. Great review, Tanja! :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiYes I'd recommend you to wait for the sequel cause then you'll know. I hope you'll get to read it :) Thansk Keertana :)
IzbrišiI have heard mixed things about this one, and I'm still not sure its for me. Glad you were able to overall enjoy. Great review!
OdgovoriIzbrišiTeresa @ Readers Live A Thousand Lives
There is plenty of other books you'll enjoy ;) Thanks Teresa :)
IzbrišiI'm glad Gravity has left you wanting more from the next book Tanja, this didn't really work out for me as much as I'd hoped, but I can't wait to see how you find the sequel! Great review! :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope you'll enjoy the sequel more! :) Thanks Jasprit :)
IzbrišiIf you're keen to read the sequel, that's a really good sign! I still haven't read this, but it's on my TBR pile. Glad you enjoyed it enough to continue on with the series. Great review!
OdgovoriIzbrišiYes it is! :) I hope you'll get to read it soon! :) Thanks :)
