Gemina by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman

Gemina (Illuminae Files, #2)

by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman

‘Wholly unique and utterly captivating.’ Marie Lu

Hanna is the station captain’s pampered daughter; Nik the reluctant member of a notorious crime family. But while the pair are struggling with the realities of life aboard the galaxy's most boring space station, little do they know that Kady Grant and the Hypatia are headed right toward Heimdall, carrying news of the Kerenza invasion.
When an elite BeiTech strike team invades the station, the two are thrown together to defend their home. But alien predators are picking off the station residents one by one, and a malfunction in the station's wormhole means the space-time continuum might be ripped apart before dinner.

Soon Hanna and Nik aren’t just fighting for their own survival; the fate of everyone on the Hypatia—and possibly the known universe—is in their hands.

But relax. They've totally got this. They hope.

Picking up about five minutes after Illuminae ends, Gemina is an electrifying sequel.

Bloody Brilliant! I LOVED it! No surprises there, I loved Illuminae. I'm only sorry it took me so long to read book two. The positive is that I don’t have long to wait for the third book, Obsidio :-) YAY! It’s out next month (March 13th, 2018).

I love the way The Illuminae Files story is told, the way the books are set out, I think it makes them stand out from all other YA sci-fi. They are textual masterpieces. Whoever helped Amie and Jay bring these babies to life has some mad skills.

In this book we get to meet some new characters (I ship Hanna and Nik, and think Ella is the bomb) and catch up with some old faves (woop woop hello again AIDAN, Kady and Ezra). The BeiTech baddies continue their debauchery and the ending leaves you NEEDING the final book.
