Beautiful Stranger: Thrilling Urban Fantasy with a Science Twist

This story is a little predictable but that does not mean that it isn’t any less exciting. What really caught my attention was the subtle hints that Nualla Galathea, her cousin (Nikki) and friend (Shawn) are not human. This novella is written to portray the thoughts and actions from both Patrick’s and Nualla’s perspective. The author wants you to know what both characters are thinking and feeling throughout the story; therefore, you are clearly able read the emotion between both characters. I did like the pace of the story; it did not move too quickly but also did not crawl forward. I do believe that the descriptions are vivid enough to allow me to picture everything. I can certainly relate to the desires that flare to life in the story between Patrick and Naulla. At first, I was a little confused by how Naulla nor Nikki or Shawn have ever seen Patrick throughout the duration of their four years at the same school; however, I am starting to wonder if it may have anything to do with the little key item that I picked up when reading about the talismans. Patrick states that he lost his a day or two previously but hasn’t informed anyone except for Naulla. My overall impression of the book is quite positive. Truthfully, I do feel that some choices of vocabulary stunted the story and made it seem a bit more childish; however, it did not reflect negatively enough for me to discontinue reading it. My interest was far more peeked due to the situational dilemma that they face towards the end of the story. I do recommend this to my club members if you are interested in fantasy and/or science fiction. I am not sure what angle the author will throw out for an explanation of the secrecy from Nualla; however, I am intrigued. The next in the series is Daemons in the Mist (The Marked Ones Trilogy Book 1).

I love this book, because its really funny and love all the characters so far I recommend this book to anyone because its funny. ONE MORE THING! So far while I was reading it; this book fits well as a teenager book and for young adults.

I couldn't put it down. It was wonderful, lots of description without making them too long for the story type. Also has a similar view to how I pictured daemons not all evil or the exact same but lots of differences.
