She is crass and sarcastic and generally just DGAF. She still fights the entire time and does whatever she has to do to protect people she cares about. Even though she falls in love and lets her heart get in the way, she doesn't let it make her weak. No, she takes everything that happens to her with stride because she is a survivor and she will do anything to survive. Kricket isn't your normal character who gets snatched out of her world (literally) and has an emotional breakdown. I really, REALLY liked this book overall. They add an elegance to covers that is so unique. Read moreįirst, what a beautiful cover! I am really digging the underwater themed covers (like Mara Dyer). Now, Kricket faces the most difficult choice of her life: whether to wage a battle for survival, or a fight for love. Kyon Ensin knows the powerful depths of Kricket's gifts-gifts he'll control when he takes her for his tribe and leads the forces that will claim Ethar and destroy his enemies, starting with Trey Allairis. As danger draws close, he must protect her until she can wield the powers she cannot use on Earth…and he soon realizes that counting a galaxy of stars would be easier than losing this extraordinary girl. That day comes when she meets a young Etharian soldier named Trey Allairis, who has been charged with coming to Earth to find Kricket and transport her to her true home. As her eighteenth birthday approaches, she now eagerly anticipates the day she'll stop running and finally find her place in the world. She was too busy hiding in plain sight, eluding Chicago's foster care system. Kricket Hollowell never wished upon stars.
