I received this book from the author  for an honest review.Marduke the ruler of Odin youngest son is sent to earth along with his elder brother Ival to learn about them so that they can take over. They look like humans and fit right in. When Marduke finally gets the courage to go out into the world he sees a women jogging and feels an instant attraction to her. He doesn't understand these feeling because it's not the way things are done on Odin. He finds him self unable to get her out of his mind and decides he has to meet her. He follows her and except for 1 meeting at this point Mattie has no idea who he is. He starts to feel that it isn't right for them to take over earth. and has decided to tell his father that but his borther Ival has already set in motion the take over.When I started reading the book after the first page or two, I thought that this was going to be an alien take over the world with a lot of killing, rip and tear it up. Once I was done the first chapter, I couldn't put the book down. It is so much more. Marduke learns about feelings, what lengths you will go through to protect people you love, be it friends, people you just met or the one you want to be with for all times. He is an awesome character who really grows during the book and together with Mattie they are such a strong couple. Mattie is in collage, a basketball player and just a strong all around wonderful person. With her two best friends Hank and Lisa they have to deal with all that is going on during the invasion. They suck it up and just get on with things. Lisa doesn't deal well, but between Hank and Mattie they keep her going.This book does have a major cliff hanger at the end. Makes you look forward to book two.Awesome read for lovers of sci-fi/ romance
