Celeste is your not-so-typical high school student. Where she lives, there have been enough UFO sightings that there is an annual sci-fi convention celebrating aliens. So what makes her so non-typical? It’s not just her Goth style choices, and the fact that her usual crowd are not the popular group, it’s that she secretly has telekinetic powers, but doesn’t know why. She just knows that it’s something that must be kept secret. What she doesn’t know is that not only.is she part alien, but that she’s not the only one in the school.
I read a review copy of this fun young adult story. There are numerous pop culture references throughout the story, including alien/sci-fi TV shows and popular band references that show the author was familiar with both subjects and not simply naming ones that were popular at the time. The story involves a murder, multiple alien races, first love romances, and friends vs rival relationships. Overall, I found it very entertaining and fun to read. The characters' personalities come through very clearly, as do the reasons why they act the way they do. We get to see a range of teenage emotions from anger and depression to first love and heartbreak. And the plot of the story is not simply surrounding aliens, as there is also a murder that the main characters seem determined to try and solve themselves.
All in all, It was a fun first book in a new series, and I look forward to getting to read the next book in this series to find out what happens next. If you enjoy reading entertaining young adult stories involving high school students, aliens, murder, and music, I think you will enjoy this one. It may have its serious moments, but it is also quite entertaining.
