Book Description:
After inadvertently saving the world, eighteen-year-old
Jessica Martinez is ready to put adventure behind her and settle back into the
familiar routine of high school.
Though when she’s offered an opportunity to photograph the
inside of an alien space ship, Jess jumps at the chance. After all, she’d be
crazy to turn something like that down, right?
Spending time with David on the ship has definite advantages
and the two seem to pick up right where they left off. But when Jess discovers
a plot to sabotage David’s efforts to establish a new home for his people on
another planet, neither David’s advanced tech nor Jess’s smarts will be able to
save them.
ASHES IN THE SKY is an
action-packed, romantic Sci Fi adventure that will leave readers screaming for
more.
My Take
on the Book:
Oh mah lawwddie
This book was
literally one massive tear jerker for me. I kinda wish I hadn’t waited this
long to read it because a tear jerker and a cold does not make for a happy nose
lol.
On that note,
I wasn’t absolutely crazy about book 1. I found that I really liked the concept
but the execution felt like it was lacking. It didn’t have the drive and for
lack of better words but personality and
character as book 2. Everything about book 1 that I wasn’t a fan of either
went poof or made book 2 all the better.
I feel like
the characters got a better chance at developing. While I was reading Fire in
the Woods, I couldn’t connect with our main characters until literally the very
very end. But book 2 managed to wow me and make me feel for these characters and what they needed to accomplish. Every
moment between them left me emotionally invested.
I honestly
hope this is not the last of these characters!
In this book
you are reintroduced to the main characters of the last book but you get a
slightly more mature version. A tougher and slightly smarter version. You also
get a glimpse into some characters from book 1 that didn’t get a chance to
connect with the reader and boy am I glad that I did.
4.5
Quills
If there was a
reward for most innovative Sci-Fi, this one definitely be in the running. I
felt like this was a massive improvement because I was able to connect with
Jess and David in ways that I couldn’t bring myself to do in book 1. In Fire in
the Woods, I was just reading about any ole characters, I was kind of just
going through the motions but in this follow, the characters felt more solid
and developed. A definite improvement! I also enjoyed the action and
descriptions more in this book then the last! It was ‘out of this world’… I
need to stop making these horrible puns I know!
About The Author
Jennifer M. Eaton hails from the eastern shore of the North
American Continent on planet Earth. Yes, regrettably, she is human, but please
don’t hold that against her. While not traipsing through the galaxy looking for
specimens for her space moth collection, she lives with her wonderfully
supportive husband and three energetic offspring. (And a poodle who runs the
spaceport when she’s not around.)
During infrequent excursions to her home planet of Earth,
Jennifer enjoys long hikes in the woods, bicycling, swimming, snorkeling, and
snuggling up by the fire with a great book; but great adventures are always a
short shuttle ride away. Who knows where we’ll end up next?
