Title: Lost in Starlight (Starlight Saga #1)
Author: Sherry Soule
Source: Received from author in exchange for an honest review
Synopsis:
High school is tough. Romance with a sexy alien—even tougher.
Star reporter Sloane Masterson knows she has one helluva story when she witnesses hottie Hayden Lancaster bending forks with his mind.
Like any good journalist, Sloane sets out to uncover the truth, even if it includes a little stalking. When the superhuman feats start to pile up and the undeniable heat rises between them, Hayden has no choice but to reveal his secret: he’s an alien hybrid.
They’re as different as night and day—she’s a curvy, purple-haired, horror junkie and he’s a smoking hot, antisocial, brainiac—yet the intense fascination between them refuses to go away. Even at Hayden’s insistence that dating each other is “off limits” and dangerous, their fiery attraction threatens to go supernova.
Now Sloane’s learning to deal with creepy government agents, über snobby extraterrestrials, and getting a crash course on the rules of interstellar dating. But Sloane must decide if their star-crossed romance is worth risking her own life....
Review:
Lost in Starlight is the first book in
the Starlight Saga series by Sherry Soule. It's a young adult
paranormal romance about a high school girl named Sloane. It turns
out that the quiet, sexy new boy in school that she has been crushing
on is half alien. Things get really complicated, and dangerous, once
the romance starts heating up between them.
Teen/young adult readers will
absolutely love the character of Sloane. She has purple hair and she
is curvy instead of the typical, perfect looking character. She loves
the goth look (but don't call her goth), and she loves to watch and
review horror movies. She is a strong, sassy character that you will
love reading about.
Readers will also swoon over Hayden,
the perfect book boyfriend. The romance was maybe a little rushed and
reminded me a little of Twilight. It's a sweet romance though and I
really liked the forbidden aspect of it. I really liked this line
from Hayden:
“I don't want someone
who meets my criteria. I'd rather have someone so amazing that they
change it...”
The storyline is fast paced, and the
author keeps it exciting. The “voice” of the main character is
very high-schoolish. I know it's supposed to be that way. With some
young adult books, you can almost forget that you're reading a YA
book because the author makes the characters seem older than what
they are. This book is not like that. So, I recommend this to the
younger crowd. I think that teenagers will absolutely love this book.
I'll warn you that there is a little bit of a cliffhanger at the end.
Though the book did seem a little young for me (I'm in my early 30s)
– I was still able to get into the story enough to where I'm dying
to know what happens next.

Also, if you really like YA paranormal romance - then I recommend the Spellbound series, also by Sherry Soule ;)
