She decides to attend a rave with a couple of friends.While at the rave, things don’t go as planned for Aimee or Luca.  However it brings them together and their life is about to change.  Secrets kept are being revealed and an important decision has to be made.This story was unique and I liked the characters.  I think the Kali angle was a bit much.  There was a lot going on anyway and the goddess added an over the top aspect to the storyline.  I think the issues they were dealing with originally would have been enough to keep readers interested in the story in my opinion.  I would give this novella a 3 out of 5.
