The Booktique

Sea of Stars (Kricket #2) by Amy A. Bartol

Publisher: 47North

Publication date: March 31st 2015

Eighteen-year-old Kricket Hollowell was looking for her place in the world when she discovered that the universe was bigger—and more dangerous—than she had ever dreamed. Now, whisked across space to the planet Ethar, Kricket learns that her genetic ability to see the future makes her a sought-after commodity…and the catalyst for war between her star-crossed parents’ clans. According to Alameedan prophecy, one house will rise to power and the other will be completely wiped out, and Kricket’s precognition is believed to be the weapon that will tip the scales.

A target of both the Rafe and the Alameeda houses, Kricket finds protection—and a home—in the arms of Trey, her Etharian bodyguard-turned-boyfriend. But her visions of what’s to come disturb her deeply, especially since she must discover whether the gift of foresight will allow her to rewrite the future, or if her fate is as immovable as the stars.

-Goodreads Description

Honestly, this book kind of snuck up on me. I mean, I knew it was coming out soon but before I knew it, I was reading reviews and realized that it had been released so I knew I had to get out and pick this bad boy up. After a series of mediocre reviews following Under Different Stars , I have to say I was one of the odd ones out who actually really enjoyed it. This book was pretty different to what I expected it to be so let's have a look,shall we?

Pros

Action and pacing - I really liked how action-packed this novel was, especially in the way that it was still equally balanced with the emotional aspects 

 El amor.. ahh, the Loo..oo...ove was so good..just my kind of thing :)

The tone..that sounds so sophisticated but it created a really great vibe that just sucked me in from the start

The humor.. just enough so that some of the tension still soaks through

The ending ... sets the reader up for a long, painful wait till the next book. 

Cons

Now, I'm the kind of gal who loves me some of that sexual tension ;) but at times, I think the characters tended to go a little..bit overboard. Like honestly your in the middle of a fight, you do not have the time to go make out right now, ok? :I ..even though we really want you too :) 

Definite recommendation for people who are looking for an action-packed read filled with romance and comic relief.
