Review: A Nice Surprise

I wasn't sure I would get hooked in the beginning, but the separate chapters of Sam's pov and Emma's pov did it for me.  I liked the father/daughter interaction, though it sometime felt like it dragged a bit.  It was a little corny in places, and needs some polish, but the story is compelling and enjoyable.  There is an excellent blending of alien-human interaction, on their planet for a change, in this Sci-fi.  The slow revelation of circumstances will keep you turning pages as it did me, wanting to know more.  Though I felt dumped at the end rather than gently hooked I still want more, so I am looking forward to the next book.  There are a lot of mysteries left to solve.
