Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 314 - The Darkest Star by Jennifer L. Armentrout, Terran Tomorrow by Nancy Kress

The Darkest Star by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This has several interesting concepts, some old and some new. The old - aliens have been living on Earth for years and the government has know and help them assimilate. The new - the secrets and lies that have been hidden from our main characters for her entire life. I enjoyed the story but had trouble identifying with all the emotional ups and downs of the teenagers. For me it was just OK but I am long removed from teen years. If I was still that age this would have been a much better read.

Terran Tomorrow by Nancy Kress
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have had mixed feeling about this series from the start. I loved the novella Yesterday Kin. Was less than thrilled with the first book and felt more of the same about book two. Terran Tomorrow was not at all what I expected. Nancy Kress is good at throwing curve balls in her plots and she threw more than one in this final book of the trilogy. That is all I an going to say as anything else would have to include spoilers.
