Review 3
I absolutely adore science fiction with a hint of romance, and Linda masterfully weaves these elements together in this book. She has quickly become one of my go-to authors. The world she creates is rich and imaginative, and her writing effortlessly draws you into the story, making the outside world disappear.
Galaxas Gaylord is the heroine of this story, born with a light green/gray complexion, hair that shimmers with hues of soft green and gray, and eyes that look like sunrays . Her features, much like her mother’s, set her apart from others of her kind. Galaxas had been stuck in a destructive relationship with Clayton, the only person who ever showed her any interest. Yet behind his affection, he hid his true nature—constantly demeaning and physically abusing her.
When Galaxas finally gathered the strength to leave him, Clayton’s wounded pride turned to violence. As he tried to hurt her, a surge of power she had never felt before erupted within her, and with a single thought, she ended his life. This was the moment Galaxas discovered her hidden abilities. Shocked, she turned to her mother for answers, but her mother’s calm acceptance of the situation only deepened Galaxas’s frustration. Why hadn’t she been told sooner? Perhaps it could have saved her from years of pain. Now, with these newfound powers, Galaxas is faced with many uncertainties—and a desire to find someone who will truly love and accept her. Will she ever find her soulmate?
