I recieved a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.This story took me in from the moment I started reading. I must say I couldn't predict it at all. It starts with a woman working in a military base. Being one of three women in whole base is not very easy. A woman must handle with many problems (read: men). Everyday bad situations were well described.The sci-fi story was interesting and very refreshing. Genetic projects, genetic byproducts, aliens, radium. Area 51, forget it. This is much more than that. Creatures in the woods, crows  all over the place, that scary sound, tick, tick, tick. Interesting mix of horror and mystery.The love triangle was a little bit confusing. Noel shares thoughts with one man and everything else with another. She feels attraction for both of them. She cares for both, she likes them both, but only one of them is her mate.Overall, I liked Noel's character. All her life she didn't belong anywhere. She grew up without a mother, so her father was her family. The house where she grew up wasn't a home for her. She was standing all alone her entire life. I didn't connect with her very much, but I liked her making her own decisions and not being easily scared. Always in a search for the truth, no matter how much it hurts.Killian's character wasn't described well. He was described well physically, but there was nothing about his feelings. Only a few exchanged dialogues. The story was narrated from Noel's perspective, but I wanted to find out more about this handsome guy.I also liked Taylor's personality. He shares his thoughts with Noel, he can read her minds, so she can read his. I've found more about him from the shared thoughts. I liked him.I would recommend this book for everyone. It's a very promising start for a debut author. Mystery, horror, love, romance. This story has it all.
