Rating: 3/5

Review
This is the second Sci-Fi series I read from Jessica Sorensen and while I will say I enjoyed the other series I have to say that I think she does better with with New Adult/YA alone.

The story was okay; it seemed to me like a cluster of every Sc-Fi creature I have ever read. The book ends and I have to say I am still not entirely sure what is going on or the connection between Gemma and Alex.

I liked that first third of the story; I enjoyed how Gemma started as someone who could not feel emotions and is somehow awakened to all the emotions she missed out on growing up. For her many of her experiences are like going through them the first time.

Getting to know Alex was also enjoyable once he started to be somewhat nice to her. But when they meet he is so angry and mean that I feel like it is absurd that she would per sue any kind of relationship with him.  Even once I learned more about him that kind of explained his behavior I really didn't like him all that much; I pretty much was rooting for any guy she came across in the story that wasn't him.

By the end the story did seem to pick up a little and without giving anything away i was starting to be swayed in the Alex direction.

I am hoping in the next book, Fractured Souls, I like him more but we shall see.
