Summary (from Goodreads)
Summertime had always been carefree and fun for Blair Reynolds and her friends–until they came upon something that was not human. As the group of friends band together in a fight for their lives, Blair’s true love becomes something more than human…something unnatural. And their existence relies on their ability to keep a secret.
Cicada is really well written, and it kept my interest the whole time. And man, oh man does this book keep you on your toes! I was guessing right up until the end, and I’m still left with unanswered questions. I loved the mystery that is presented in Cicada. Or maybe I should say, semi-presented. It is more like a giant puzzle that everyone has to put together.
I did think it was a little strange that Blair didn’t have a single friend her own age. She only knew her brother’s friends. But it was a good group of friends, I must say. Everyone had different strengths and they all worked well together. However, everyone was so focused on the mystery that there was not much room left to develop any sort of romance. So when one happened, it just kind of appeared in the story. It was a little random. I would have preferred a little more lead up to the romance in Cicada, but I am thinking there will be more of that in the next book.
I enjoyed Cicada and I have to know what is going to happen with everything we uncovered in the first book. I am so excited to read the second book. It is going to epic! This is not some simple mystery. It is so much more involved than that, and the complexity of it is what I love! I can’t wait to see how everything is going to come together. Plus, I still have a ton of questions I need answered.

Wow… aliens, huh? I’ve never read an alien book. It makes me wonder why I haven’t lol I just kind of forgot about them. But when you think of paranormal, aliens should just pop up, but they don’t. Instead, I think of vampires, werewolves, shifters you know? Anyway, I’m really curious about this book. Aliens! Who knew?!
I love the cover, thank you for the giveaway!
Thanks for this giveaway:)
