Hover (Taking Trilogy, #2)

We’ve come a long way since E.T. in entertainment featuring aliens. *cough* Opposition *cough*, and this series is another example of it. I read Gravity, the first book, a while ago, which I’m guessing, may be the fact to blame why this book didn’t had me fangirling like I was expecting it to.

I liked this take on aliens, because people here, know about aliens. In Gravity, things were tense, everyone was on edge, and then, hell broke loose. In Hover, the setting is the alien planet of Lodge, where Ari finds herself when she wakes up. Jackson is with her, but here’s where she discovers who is Jackson truly, which is definetely not the carefree boy we met in the previous books. Danger is a very real, tangible thing and Ari gets frustrated because these things are out of her control. She makes plans but they don’t unfold the way she wants.

There is a lot of character development going in this book.
