Since this book in a genre that is my favorite I would be tempted to read it anyway. But you sold me on the book! With your sentence "She finally frees herself from Ingrid's influence, only to somehow land herself in a psychiatric ward. She starts discovering abilities that she never knew she had and quickly finds herself in over her head." I knew I would like it, but the other aspects sound intriguing to me as well. Aliens, and awakenings and saving the world from evil all wrapped up in a book that has action, and romance (without the steamy sex scenes it sounds like), then this book is right up my alley!
Thanks for your kind words. This is definitely a book you would enjoy. I hope you love it!

Coming together to save the world seems like an awesome idea to me right now. Lovely book.

I will say that I don't really like reading about the supernatural, about aliens, conspiracies or whatnot, but it I think I like the plot. The sense of intrigue and adventure effusing your review is alluring enough.

I am not sure my realistic nature would allow me enjoy this book, especially the alien part.

There is a definite sense of supernatural in this one, so I'm not sure if you would enjoy this. I appreciate your comments, though. Thanks.

There will certainly be no physical existence if there be no spiritual first. I I love the supernatural phase of this review.

Thank you for this review! I love it! Definitely you convinced me to read the book. I know, I will enjoy it- if there is adventure, action, romance, what else can a book lover ask for!

I think I could find the time for this somewhere along the way because it sounds fantastic! I love conspiracy theories because as a reader, I’m never sure what is or isn’t true, so that makes it suspenseful. A series, perhaps? Even better! Thanks for the good information. I’m interested!

Yes, I definitely think it's going to be a series. I'm not sure if the next book is out or not. It's a good one for sure, though. Thanks for your comments.
