Chase Madison had a tough childhood. Raised in a broken home and struggling with undiagnosed ADHD, he was constantly in trouble. Life didn't get much better as an adult-jailed, abandoned by family and friends, and fired from his job. But then he meets the Caelans. They look like and act like us, but they are not from this planet. Completely peaceful, they've lived here for years, hiding in plain sight by using a mental ability called 'psy' to maintain their secret identity. But after more than 50 years of peace, anger has begun to infect the Caelans-like a sickness-forcing all 939 to be quarantined here. And when they meet Chase, they discover that their psy does not work on him. His immunity to their power presents a serious security risk. Join Chase on the adventure of his life as he makes wondrous discoveries, improbable friends, terrifying enemies, finds unexpected love, and begins to believe in himself-for the first time in his life.… (meer)

I found book one so fascinating, but I was disappointed at the end. I didn't like that Chase tried to sell his drug prescriptions just to get money for his ex- wife, even though she had remarried she still forced him to pay her. Chase is a mixed up man, he feels like the world is against him and that he's inferior to everyone else, but he has a high IQ, a brilliant computer wizard and he gets by with his smirky attitude. Chase is arrested and put into a jail cell next to a man who released footage of an alien spaceship. When Pete tells him what he saw, he listens with a grain of salt, but now the aliens have to watch him fearing that he will further exposed them. I loved that Avery, a Caelan, an alien from another world thinks that is wrong to control human's minds to force them to do their bidding, but Chase is resistant and the aliens thinks that he is not human! Book one left me hankering to read the next book! ( )

Interesting story that subtly incorporates societal issues and social norms through reality and science fiction. The main character, Chase, has ADHD and is likable and misunderstood, as so many who live with ADHD are. He is impulsive, witty, and always seems to be getting stuck in a trap of his own making.
The plot is multidimensional yet everything comes together for these characters in the end. A great way to look at and learn about ADHD in a fictional way, well done.
*I received an arc from the publisher through NetGalley for an honest review ( )
