Nova Williams has lost her one shot at Lieutenant hood and
at love. Lieutenant Crophaven has promoted her rival, Andromeda, all because
her lifemate, Sirius, sacrificed their mission to win back Andromeda’s love.
While sneaking out to prove Andromeda is a fake, Nova finds an alien ship hovering over their colony. Lieutenant Crophaven assigns her to a reconnaissance mission, giving her a second chance to redeem herself. Sirius must fly her and a research team to the vessel to decide if they are a threat. Thrown together with the lifemate that betrayed her, she battles with her own jealousy while her team battles for their lives.
Can she forgive Sirius in order to save her team and warn her colony?

********************
This was an amazing sequel. The story has a lot of classic
science fiction elements paired with a great cast of main characters. Book one
flows directly into book two with a shift in perspectives from Andromeda to
Nova - rivals since school. There is a hint of a love triangle - but it
dissolves very quickly and is more of a school age crush finally ending than
anything.
Most of the story takes place on the alien ship that Nova has discovered hanging out nearby. These aliens are not nice creatures. They were written brilliantly and gave me the heebie-jeebies everytime that skittered (yes, they skitter) into a room or scene. There was quite a bit of suspense as Nova and Sirius explore the ship and I loved every word of it.
The romance was really on the back burner most of the time. I knew it was there hovering in the background waiting for the right time to pop up again. It was nice not having teenage love shoved in my face every few minutes. I would highly recommend this to any sci-fi YA lovers out there.
