Check out the Original @ [...]I love this book! I was skeptical in the beginning, because I'm normally not into Sci-fi. And I really haven't read any adult sci-fi stories, but alas I fell in love with this one. The story is captivating, heart wrenching, inspiring and action packed. For the first time in a very long time I don't have anything negative to say about a story that I'm reviewing! So, lets get on with the love fest.The characters:Mia: The main character is kick ass! She is no damsel in distress. Mia is a former marine with some serious PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). She is a tough as they come but has a really good heart. I love how her character is slowly developed throughout the story.Eben: The love interest in progress I would say. He is strong and persistent and a little hardheaded at times. Eben is shy and insecure and has had a lot of traumatic experiences in his life because of where he came from. As the story progresses his character develops and he becomes a leader for the other men as well as a more realistic love interest for someone like Mia.The rest of the characters are great they are multidimensional and add the perfect mix of realism and you've got to be kidding me to the story. Some of my favorites are Gabriel, Iliya and Gavin. Gabriel is just so innocent and has this way of pulling on my heart strings. Iliya is the guy you can count on, the best friend that always has your back. But Gavin on the other had is a bit of a smart ass, but I get where he's coming from. Gavin keeps things interesting.The story is perfect. The pacing, the writing, the dialogue is all cohesive and pulls you into the story, making it easier for you to read. The plot is interesting and has enough twist that keeps you interested and wanting more. I was on an emotional roller coaster from beginning to end. I totally wasn't expecting what happened at the end, and I was totally heartbroken. There is action and intrigue and the hint of love. Stella Telleria did a wonderful job weaving together all of the elements I love about stories into Across The Wire. This story is a must read!
