Stray

Title: Stray   Author:  Andrea K. Höst   Pages:  273  Genre: Sci-Fi

Cassandra was walking home from school like any other day but when she looks up she notices she is not in Australia anymore. She starts a diary documenting her time in this weird place from when she gets there to when a strange guy comes to her and tells her he can take her home. She makes some great friends while learning a new language that is implanted in her brain.
I enjoyed this book for the most part but there were parts I couldn't follow. I liked that she had a way to learn the language but still had difficulties with it. Cassandra was very relate able and was a joy to read through her eyes from her diary.

The cases also make Eve remember childhood past that she thought she had forgotten. Is this billionaire so into power he is doing the killings? Is Roarke the person Eve can depend on to help her with her feelings and finally coming to accept the terms of her past?

I had read one of these before and enjoyed it emmensly and decided I needed to start from the beginning. So, here I am reading book one and going to go through the whole series! I loved the relationship that builds between Roarke and Eve and how the case unfolds and how the truth comes out about the killer! Highly recommend this series to everyone that reads or wants to read!

It took me from October to beginning of Feburary to read this book, so I'm going to go with I wasn't a huge fan. The writing was great and the thoughts were fluid but I really wasn't into the talking kitchen appliances. I wish it would happen in real life just because that would be pretty cool, but to just drop it in like it was normal on page one confused the crap out of me.
