"Oblivion" is the debut work of Ms. Alt and it is a fine debut indeed!The characters, plot, setting, and narrative all run at a great pace and include plenty of vivid description and lively prose.  The tale is interesting enough that I refuse to give away any spoilers.  In some places the story gets bogged down in overused adjectives and tag lines, but the book is too good to be knocked down by these mistakes.Ms. Alt is a very good writer with a talent for description.  Though not a romantic myself, I saw touches of powerful emotional scenes that reminded me of "Twilight".  A lot of the interaction between two of the characters bears the mark of that famous vampire series; but since this tale is a different animal, it stays away from being too familiar.There are some grammar and spelling errors sprinkled throughout the book; a few formatting issues also crop up from time to time.  Once these minor problems are polished, Ms. Alt has a 5-star book on her hands.  If you enjoy a good story with romance, adventure, tension, and all the classic elements then give this one a whirl.  The sample is more than enough to know if you'll like it.  For .99, you can't go wrong.
