Children of the Gods (A Chosen Novel) by Monica MillardBlurb:For as long as seventeen-year-old Reka Cushing can remember, she has watched her friends and her neighbors be stolen, their bodies used as hosts for the Halorans; an alien race that has come to earth posing as gods. For just as long, Reka has lived in fear of drawing the eye of a Haloran, keeping her head down, hoping not to be caught in their sights.The only time she has ever been bold, tried to get what she wanted, a god, one more powerful, more dangerous than all others is watchingEdition Info:Kindle Edition - Published (first published December 24th 2011)ASINB006PZFWQ6In a nut shell:  I got this book from Goodreads.com as a Read to Review book.  It was a good story with an original concept and uniquely done.  I cried... I chuckled...  I really did enjoy the story and the characters.My Rating: 3.5/5 StarsDetails:Ok I know what you are thinking...  Why only 3.5 if you cried?  **because we all know I don't usually cry reading books** buuuuuuuut I didn't love the book... I liked it yes, but didn't love it.  It just didn't speak to me like some of my favorites have - and because of that is it a 3.5 review for me.Reka and Jaxson - I absolutely LOVE the story here and the progression of the relationship.  The only part that bothered me was not really being given a time line on this.  It isn't that it was confusing or anything like that; there just wasn't any time frame on when things happened... had Reka been there a day, a week, a month, what?  I think you'll understand what I'm talking about as you read this book.Like I said in the nut shell - this is a good story.  I like the fight that Reka has in her and the inner issues she has throughout the book.The last thing I want to say is about the ending of this book - which absolutely gutted me... not going to even try to lie about it - I hated the ending, but it is good because it brought out the emotion I felt for the characters.  I hated the ending of this book in the best way possible - it isn't what I wanted to happen but ... you know how that goes!  I'm not the author - I don't have a say - it is hated in the best possible way.So you need to pick up a copy of this book, and once you read it come back and let me know what you think!  It is a steal for only $2.99!Until Next Time,@jendsmit
