I'm not normally into Sci-Fi type books. Or movies. Or... anything really (or books that just happen to take place in space). Ok, Star Wars and Star Trek: The Next Generation are exceptions to that rule. But can you really pass up either of those? Yeah, me neither.So, when LK Rigel contacted me to review her book, my first thought was "Nuh-uh". But then I read the blurb and thought "Hmm, this sounds interesting. And maybe it's time to expand my horizons a bit..."Hero Material pulled me in from the get-go and held me there until the very end. There's drama, some intrigue, and characters I ended up caring very much for.Char is called up to the space station by her sister's fiancé. She's to be moved off earth immediately. Because we didn't get any details as to why she's being moved off earth NOW and there's no time to go through the proper channels, it piqued the heck out of my interest. Let's face it: I'm a nosy brat and I wanna know everything about everything.The chemistry between Char and Jake is instantaneous and doesn't stop. I was rooting for them from minute one.I did see one plot twist coming, but I didn't see another part of that twist, which was a very pleasant surprise. Not the twist, because that part was actually kinda sad, but the part about me not seeing it coming. I hate being able to predict a book & LOVE when a book can keep me on my toes.I've received the sequel to Hero Material, and I'm sorely tempted to skip through my requests list to read it. I guess I'd better get on top of reading more before I give into temptation!
