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.

Holy ****

To think I was super hesitant to read this. To the point where I have owned this since it came out and never got past page 20. I was so terrified I would end up disliking it because Hanna (a MC) and I were not meshing at all...and now I sit here in 2020 at 5am positively ready to dive into the third book with no reservations.

This was just...*Chef's Kiss* perfection. Did it have its issues? Sure, but I really don't give a damn. Kaufman and Kristoff are cruel cruel gods who have toyed with my emotions, but I've learned I'm sort of into that now.

Bring on Obsidio
