Review for Daylight (Girl From The Stars Book 2) by Cheree Alsop



Blurb:

Liora Day’s fate entwined with the crew the day she joined the SS Kratos. Fleeing the Coalition in their attempt to destroy the Omne Occasus before it falls into the wrong hands, the captain and crew band together to save not only their ship, but the fate of the Macrocosm against those who would use the machine for harm. Liora’s heart is caught by Tariq, the damaged, brooding medical officer, but his past is entwined with hers in a way that makes a relationship nearly impossible. 
Despite their acceptance, Liora’s presence endangers the ship, the crew, and everyone she meets. She must confront both the demons of her youth and the dangers of running from the Coalition in her fight to save not only the galaxy, but also what is left of her heart.


Review:
The second book in this series is even better than the first! More adventure, a little hint at some romance, and more surprises around every corner! Liora continues to amaze me with her awesome abilities, but I also feel sorry for her in a way because of how everyone views her. She is dangerous and a weapon, and most of the people in these books have a hard time seeing past that exterior to the part of her that has retained her humanity. So unlike full blood Damaclans, she has empathy and anger and she displays it when someone she cares about is threatened or hurt. I am totally rooting for her and Tariq. Who couldn't when he is as much of a tortured soul as she is in ways? They both need some healing and are good for each other. As for the ending, I totally did not see that coming! Just...wow!
5 out of 5 stars!

Review of Daybreak (Girl From The Stars Book 1) by Cheree Alsop



Blurb:
Liora Day, half-human, half-mess with her and you'll die Damaclan, had been thrown onto a rough path at a very early age. But when she is broken out of a cage by Devren, the young captain of the SS Kratos, she is shown that perhaps humanity does have a heart. The Kratos is set on a mission to rescue fallen surveyors from the Revolutionaries, and Liora is given the choice to follow her Damaclan instincts, or trust Devren's dark eyes and captivating smile that promise an adventure unlike any she has ever experienced. 


Review:
I have found that I like to dabble in science fiction books on occasion and I enjoyed reading this one.  As much as I loved science as a child, I have always been more of an Earth Science type of girl, and not as much about physics and what not.  It was pretty easy for me to keep up with this book and I loved Liora.  She's a great character!  Her past was so hard that it made me cringe several times as the book went through some of her background.  There is not just one bad guy in this book.  It seems like there are two main ones with several smaller ones in the form of Revolutionaries that keep attacking Liora and her new friends.  After having suffered an awful childhood because she was an unwanted half-blood by most everyone except her mother, everyone in her clan is killed by something I still don't quite understand but can only guess that it's another strange creature that's something like a demon where she lived.  Or perhaps they traveled there since it seems that all sorts of people and creatures travel through space to different planets and asteroids in this book.  Whether it's probable or not is irrelevant to me in this type of book though.  It's science fiction, where the improbable becomes certainty.  And that is one of the reasons I like to read this genre sometimes.  As for Liora, she goes from one suffering situation to another.  One can't help but want to feel sorry for her, but this chick doesn't want pity.  She wants to kick butt and just be free.  A very nice read!
4 out of 5 stars!
