5 Cranky stars


A fantastic well written book. Anastasia lives in Seattle with her very abusive father and mother. Her best friend for ever Dakota was always there for her. After graduation they became room mates. Eventually they admitted their true feelings for each other, that was the day Mitch her father came and got her and took her back to the family home and beat her severely after a row. A man seemed to appear from nowhere and offered safety, she had no choice but to go with him.


This is when the book gets exciting. She is taken to a parallel world, where there was no electricity, cars etc. They lived a simple life and then she found out about her past and her future. Ana is stuck in this world and trains to be the best fighter she could be against the Brutes (huge man like creatures) who kept attacking the settlements. After 5 years she manages to slip through a portal and arrives back in Seattle straight into the arms of Dakota.


He had been searching for Ana all this time and was none too pleased to find out she went willingly. The Brutes had gone through the portal before her were going to take over Seattle. Long story short Ana realised that she could make her own portals and went back with Dakota and his mother after being attacked by some Brutes. There they plan the next course of action. So much is packed into this book. Gripped me from beginning to end. Can't wait for the second book.
