Book-" MORE"- As a child, Ava Michaels used to think she was special. As a child, she fantasized about having magical powers and making things happen. But Ava soon grew out of that, knowing she's just like everyone else...normal.
In college Ava meets Caleb Foster, who becomes her tutor in Physics, because she sure isn't going to pass without his help. She needs to pass to keep her scholarship. But being her tutor isn't the only mission on his mind. They will have to work together to survive the threat from an ancient race, who protects humans but also can be lethal in keeping their existence secret. Caleb Foster has more going on that you can see at first glance. Yep, and Ava's more than she ever knew. Normal, PLUS equals MORE.

This book opened with heart stopping action right away. Its a real attention getter. I really liked Ava, she literally has her life flipped upside down but she still asks questions and faces things head on. Some of the methods that were used by others to keep her in the dark, were quite interesting. The way the story was written it caused me to question other people's motives right along with Ava. Caleb ended up making you wonder right along with Ava, but you just had to like him even though he was being torn back and forth in the story. The nightmares that Ava had, of being chased and caught by a scary hulk of a man with two different colored eyes was brilliant. Especially how the two different colored eyes figure in several different times later in the book.
The cover picture was impressive enough all on its own, but also represents the story so well. I loved how simple but compelling it was. The science fiction part was done really well. I do have to admit when Caleb was doing some of the tutoring and they got into different theories that she was studying for physics, my eyes started to glaze over. To be honest though, it didn't go on too long and I think it was necessary to show how hard the subject is.
The world building of several different cultures/belief systems was well done. As well as several different villains, each with different motives. Each thinking they were acting for the good of their own people. The story does come to an end but with an opening to follow through on more adventures. After all they Ava and Caleb know that those who know about her aren't quite through with her. They didn't like her decisions. To that end there is an excerpt of another book, " The Guardians (Book 2 in the Trilogy), in the back of the book. Sounds interesting.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
