Chronicle In Favor Of Books Under Different Stars (Kricket #1)
Kricket Hollowell is normally not one to wish upon stars; she believes they’re rarely in her favor. Well versed at dodging caseworkers from Chicago’s foster care system, the past few years on her own have made Kricket an expert at the art of survival and blending in. With her 18th birthday fast approaching, she dreams of the day when she can stop running and find what her heart needs most: a home. Trey Allairis hates Earth and doubts that anyone from his world can thrive here. What he’s learning of Kricket and her existence away from her true home only confirms his theory. But, when he and Kricket lie together under the stars of Ethar, counting them all may be easier than letting her go. Kyon Ensin’s secrets number the stars; he knows more about Kricket's gifts than anyone and plans to possess her because of them. He also knows she’s more valuable than any fire in the night sky. He’ll move the heavens and align them all in order to make her his own. When everything in their world can be broken, will Kricket rely upon love to save her under different stars?

How To Check If Youre An Alien Living on the Wrong Planet: Your hair grows back immediately after its been cut. As in, a second later. And yet, after 17 years of living through this phenomenon, you have shoulder length hair. You have violet eyes. Your frontal lobe has X-ray vision. You are so thin, so lightweight, so delicate that wall climbing harnesses cant support you. When a world has less gravity, you run faster instead of slower. You get bossed around by three men and fall in love withThis is one of those cases where bloggers and reviews really do help sell books because if I hadn't seen some of my blogger friends gushing about this novel, I might never have picked it up otherwise. And I would have been missing out on a fabulous sci-fi story rife with political intrigue, romance, and some serious ass-kicking.I listened to the audio, performed by Kate Rudd, and I found it impossible to stop listening once I really started it. I downloaded the audio before I left on vacation
UGH!I loved everything about this book. I've seen this book pop on my recommendation list for my Kindle for like ever.. and I'm kind of shocked that I FINALLY took a chance on it. I'm freaking hooked guys and I was not prepared to feel these god damns feelings at all.I loved Kricket. I loved Trey. I fucking shipped the fucking shit out of those two. Throw in Kyon and I'm rooting even more for those two - screw Kyon. I wish I could be friends with someone like Kricket, well .. no. I'd like to be
Kricket, he grins. Its such a powerful name, he breathes. If a Kricket cries alone in a forest, does Khanh give a fuck? No. No, she doesn't. Who is Kricket? What is Kricket? I'll tell you.Take the loveliest, most statuesque and Amazonian-like model you can find, then multiply her beauty tenfold. Add some killer cheekbones to that vision of loveliness. Give her a brilliant brain whose intelligence is visible because her frontal lobe is all alight when viewed with special X-ray glasses! Have
[DNF at 62%.] Under Different Stars could have been a unique, engaging and intriguing read--unfortunately, the book fell flat for me. I've wanted to DNF this one lots of times before I actually did, probably because of the characters and the writing, mainly.See, I've always had a strong dislike for books with formula characters. Kricket was your typical heroine--she was the beautiful (yes, she does look quite exotic with her purple eyes and blonde hair--*cringe*) girl who is apparently
This genre is not something I read a lot of which is bizarre because I love watching movies and shows with a sci fi theme but throw a book into the mix and more often than not, I won't even give it a second glance. But when this showed up on my doorstep and I saw the gorgeous cover and the blurb, I knew I was making one of my rare exceptions and giving it a chance. Yes I can be petty and shallow like that.But oh goodness how this story completely captured my attention and held it. I was
5 STARS IS NOT ENOUGH!!Honestly, the world building and original ideas Amy came up with could easily put this book in either the sci-fi or fantasy genres. It was that well done. Im all with my swoony romance but I read just as much sci-fi and dark fantasy to say that I could put this novel up against any of the novels Ive read.Captivating from page #1, I want to know more, more, more! Why is she on the run? Where is her family? How is she surviving on her own?This incredibly intense story
