BOOK REVIEW- MUST REMEMBER


BOOK REVIEW- MUST REMEMBER-  Nineteen-year-old Elizabeth ‘Beta’ Camden is a survivor. 
When the E’mani—those pale alien freaks—destroy Earth with a plague of madness and scoop up the remains, Beta is one of the ‘lucky’ ones. For years, she endures their tortures, experiments and games. Then one day, she manages to escape their ship with her life, and no memory of her time with them. Stranded on their world, Beta wanders the mountains, looking for a way home. She stumbles onto the Fost—the E’mani’s ancient enemy. Their war with the E’mani is old and rooted in magic that the Fost once had and the E’mani crave. Magic Beta soon discovers she’s developing along with strange tattoos and disturbing glimpses of her past. The Fost take her in and train her in their ways. As she spends more time with them, she falls in love with their culture and with Marin—he of the hot hands and slit eyes. But the E’mani took her for a reason and they want her back—dead or alive. If Beta doesn’t remember that reason soon, they’re all going to die.   AMAZON   5  Stars is what I'm giving it on Amazon.


Dramatic, right into the action at the start to the book.  As  Beta is trying to figure out what is going, you are right there with her.  Some really great other world building going on as well as some really interesting and creative aliens as well.  Yes, Beta is a fighter, even though she is scared almost out of her mind.  This is some really great science fiction/fantasy story.  Its also got some pretty healthy people connections too.  I was right there with Beta when it came to being jerked around with her resenting that she had more questions than answers.
Good overcoming evil is always a good theme too.  The odds were against the Fost, but that tide is beginning to change.  And it looks like Beta just might be a key to that.  Gotta admit, the developing magic AND tattoo's really added to the story.  So did, the two guys who wanted her.
I think that I agree with another reviewer that the romance part probably wasn't as deep as it could have been, but I still loved it!  Added to that there is room for more adventures because of the way the book ended.  Not a cliffhanger exactly, just room for more.
By the way I loved the cover picture.

I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
