Thanks for joining me on my stop
of the Fire in the Woods tour! I hope you have been enjoying the tour
so far and hop over to the other stops for great reviews and more
chances for fun and prizes! Don't forget to pick up your copy of Fire
in the Woods and let me know what you thought of it!
My
Thoughts:
The
Cover: What
a great cover to this one. A silhouette of a man against a backdrop
of woods and a fire. There's a beautiful starry sky overhead. All
around, a very promising cover.
The
Plot:
What
an amazing and unique story. I have never read anything quite like
Fire in the Woods. A very well written adventure sci-fi, it tells a
tale of visitors to Earth. Jennifer M. Eaton has created an
fascinating species and I can not wait to read more about them.
There
was one point, I found about 1/2 way through the story where it
seemed to bottom out and I was a little afraid that I was done, but
after about 7-10 pages, it picked right back up and I was not
disappointed.
The
Characters: All
the characters were very well done, with lots and lots of details to
make you either love them or hate them. I liked Jess right away.
Typically confused teenager, but relateable. She also totally seemed
the type to help someone in need. Daniel seemed kinda strange; I
really didn't like him at first, but he grew on me. But Jess' best
friend, Maggie totally stole the show. I loved her character. So
funny and you could tell she loved Jess and would help any way she
could.
Is
it Worth Reading?:
I did enjoy Fire in the Sky, but to be honest, I found the romance
aspect between Daniel and Jess to be a little forced. I think just
being thrown together for a few days, running from the military might
make you fall in love with someone, but there were so many unknowns
about him and he had never experienced anything like romance. I think
it just seemed rushed. Maybe in forthcoming books, when they get to
know each other a little more, it might work. Altogether though, it
was a great story and I look forward to the next book and recommend
Fire in the Woods to readers of YA sci-fi and give it 4 out of 5
crossbows!

Title: Fire in the Woods
Publication date: September 2014
Publisher: Month9Books, LLC.
Author: Jennifer M. Eaton
When
a plane crashes in the woods near Jess’s home, the boy of her
dreams falls out of the sky—literally. But David’s not here to
find a girlfriend. He’s from another planet, and if Jess can’t
help him get back to his ship, he’ll be stuck on Earth with nothing
to look forward to but the pointy end of a dissection scalpel.
But
her father runs their house like an army barracks, and with an alien
on the loose, Major Dad isn’t too keen on the idea of Jess going
anywhere. Ever. So how the heck is she supposed to help the sweetest,
strangest, and cutest guy she’s ever met?
Hiding
him in her room probably isn't the best idea. Especially since her
Dad is in charge of the squadron searching for David. That doesn't mean she won’t do it. It just means she can’t get caught.
Helping
David get home while protecting her heart—that’s gonna be the
hard part. After all, she can’t really fall for a guy who’s not
exactly from here.
As
they race through the woods with Major Dad and most of the U.S.
military one breath behind them, Jess and David grow closer than
either of them anticipated. But all is not what it seems. David has a
genocide-sized secret, and one betrayal later, they are both in
handcuffs as alien warships are positioning themselves around the
globe. Time is ticking down to Armageddon, and Jess must think fast
if she’s to save the boy she cares about without sacrificing
Earth—and everyone on it.
Corporate
Team Leader by day, and Ranting Writer by night. Jennifer M. Eaton
calls the East Coast of the USA home, where she lives with her
husband, three energetic boys, and a pepped up poodle.
Jennifer
hosts an informational blog “A Reference of Writing Rants for
Writers (or Learn from My Mistakes)” aimed at helping all writers
be the best they can be.
Beyond
writing and motivating others, she also enjoys teaching her dog to
jump through hoops—literally.
Jennifer’s
perfect day includes long hikes in the woods, bicycling, swimming,
snorkeling, and snuggling up by the fire with a great book; but her
greatest joy is using her over-active imagination constructively…
creating new worlds for everyone to enjoy.
Again,
