The TBR Pile
I don't normally do this but I'm going to just paste the blurb here. This is what initial made me want to read the book and I really can't explain it any better than: Nova just wanted to do her duty like everyone else. Become a soldier, keep earth safe. When her base is attacked, she’s captured by the alien enemies but they’re nothing like she was taught. They’re smart, calculating, curious and so her nightmare begins. When she’s finally rescued, she can’t remember much of her humanity but she can’t tell anyone what she knows, like their language or the experiments. She never expects to meet the boy with the stunning green eyes, Pierce. They bring out feelings in her she had to destroy to survive. Then it comes out that the aliens are looking for something. Someone. To keep earth safe Nova will have to kill the queens. Every. Last. One. Alright. Now my babbling about how good this book is has to somehow resemble a review. Let's start with Nova. Oh. My. God. Nova! That poor girl! She is a normal teen when the book begins and it's amazing how each chapter shows her evolving. Or rather devolving. She's now angry, violent and a perfect weapon. When she returns to the humans, she has a hard time fitting in until she meets Giana and her handsome brother, Pierce. That is such a great romance! The push and pull between them is so entertaining. I love Pierce! His personality is so sweet and patience. He's trying to get through Nova's mental armor and eventually he does which leads to the beautiful romance. The action is intense. Tons of fight scenes that really kept me on the edge of my seat. I think the craziest are the scenes in the beginning where she's experimented on and then trying to survive. INSANE! I want to wrap my arms around her and hug. There is also one scene that totally had me in tears! Each of the eight lies is explained and I really thought that was a nice touch. That ending is so freaking good. I didn't want this book to end! I can see why this book is getting so many good reviews. I loved it! You should totally be reading The Eight Lies We Tell Each Other right now!
