Starcrossed: Perigee (Starcrossed, #1) door Tracey Lee Campbell
I couldn't finish this one. I got to about 35% and I just didn't care for the characters at all.
I liked the romance aspect of this novel, but it was totally eclipsed by the plot and I LOVED it. I liked how the author used a 10 year old's science fair to describe String Theory and M Theory in layman's terms, setting up the reader for the possibilities that would unfold. My only gripe is the ending...I wanted this book to go on! I wanted to zip through the idyllic phase and get onto the meat of the preparations, etc.
Aric Brennan is a whisperer - a perfectly engineered human/alien hybrid, designed specifically to charm and seduce. When Lucy is stalked by his unearthly creators, she has no choice but to trust him to help her navigate a way through a horrifying reality - a reality filled with creatures which should really only exist in nightmares.

Despite every instinct which told me I was in danger, I couldn’t help but stare back at him, and be pulled into the spell he was weaving. The panic receded as I looked into his eyes and listened to the hypnotic timbre of his voice. The room filled with a strange buzz which permeated my body, vibrating and pulsing through every part of me. I didn’t care - I was still listening to his voice. Paralysis overtook me, but I had no will to fight it. The creatures moved closer and he backed away...”
"What girl wouldn't wish for the perfect guy? Unfortunately for Lucy, he was created that way for a reason..."… (meer)
