*received from author for an honest reviewI really loved this story. It was unique and engaging. I loved the science and the science fiction mixed in with the storyline. I did think the story was going to be about one thing and it went a whole other direction however I was not disappointed because it was a really good book. I give this story a solid 4 stars.Noel is a scientist that works on antidotes for biological warfare however it is not this job that gets her pulled to this top secret base but supposedly her minor in psychology. The whole circumstances that she is recruited under seem suspicious but she didn't argue and yes it is explained later in the story. Noel did have a hard time after getting to the base she is attacked and saved, she has to put up with rude comments from men constantly and she keeps having these weird dreams that seem somewhat prophetic.Killian was a great character. He comes across tough and unreadable at first but then you see his softer side in glimpses. He is supposed to be a killing machine but he turns out to be something completely different. I really felt bad for him when we thought he was confined to his little room except for training.Taylor is the other main character. He claims he is a mathematician but he doesn't look or act like one. He likes Noel and later develops a special bond with her. All of that is explained but I will not spoil it. Again Taylor is also a great character. I am curious about his tattoo especially since Noel dreams about it.I am curious about the creatures in the forest and if they will have any more to do with the story or not. Another thing is why wasn't Noel just told the secret earlier instead of letting her wander around uninformed. Also I sense a love triangle building in the story maybe more will come to light in the next book? Hopefully we will know soon! The story had a lot of surprising twists and turns. I can't wait to read the next book.All in all the characters are well written in this story. The plot keeps the story moving and intriguing and there is still plenty of mystery to keep me reading on the next book. I can't wait. This was a great debut novel for Michaela.
