The YA/paranormal books have really been catching my eye lately, and I was so happy to host Monica Millard at CLP Blog Tours for her novel Children of the Gods. I thought this read was super unique – which might sound strange since I think that paranormal books are all pretty unique, but this one had a little something extra that kept me enticed. The book is actually classified as YA sci-fi/romance, which I really enjoyed. I know sci-fi can get be confusing to some, and I will say that it took me a while to really understand what was happening. I think that maybe a more detailed synopsis could help readers when they start this book. The Halorans are an alien race that came to Earth posing as Gods, and they snatch the citizens to have them be host bodies. The story focuses around Reka, a seventeen year old who is chosen as a host, and the romance between her Jaxson. Once I got over the initial questions and trying to figure out the relationships, I was really into the book. I would definitely recommend Children of the Gods to those who enjoy sci-fi elements in their reading.
Thanks for the great review, Samantha! 😀
