So this book. To be honest, I didn't really enjoy this. I would've given up on it if I didn't need a Z book for my Alphabet Reading Challenge. 

In broad strokes this is a re-telling of Beauty and The Beast. Classic inhuman kidnaps girl and holds her hostage for a bit, he is totally in love and obsessed with her and she knows nothing about him, but eventually falls for him. Now, I will say I'm fine with this trope and have no problem with it BUT it wasn't mentioned anywhere. See, I'm fine with this trope being in adult books or having it as a warning and letting the reader know this is going to be in it, but this is a YA novel. This is advertised to teens, who, let's be honest, aren't always the smartest. This shouldn't be considered romantic, which it is in this book. It really put me off of reading it to be honest since I was in it for weird alien invasion sci-fi, not alien beauty and the beast falling in love. 

Also, there are somethings as a Canadian that really pissed me off. The major one being they always talk about distance in miles. MILES?!? YOU'RE IN CANADA! Here we use kilometers. I understand if these characters were from the 80's maybe them using miles, but as someone who was born in 1999, we literally only use kilometers. That or measuring things based on how much time it takes to get there (ex. 200km in a car can take about 4 hours, depending on speed limits). It really took me out of the book when they kept on mentioning miles.

The book does have a good cliff hanger, I will give it that. Will I continue with this series? Probably not. Just isn't for me.
