ABOUT FIRE IN THE WOODS:
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.

I absolutely love the cover, and when I read the premise I could wait to get my hands on FIRE IN THE WOODS. I love when authors keep secrets, and I found the beginning really intriguing because I didn't realize what David was or why he was hiding in the woods, and I had to find out. That alone was enough to get me to turn the pages. (Some of this is now given away in the extended jacket copy, but that wouldn't have deterred me from reading.) Once the story unfolded, I really like the sci-fi bend on the romantic plot line. It was a nice change from other books on the market. I also loved that the setting of the military base and the impact that had on Jess and her father's relationship, which was a key driver of the plot tension. Overall, I thought it was an enjoyable read with a unique sci-fi romantic premise that was a nice change of pace.

Love it. Sounds like my kind of book!
ReplyDeleteThanks for featuring my book and I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI love this cover too! And the story sounds action-y but also funny, which I love too. =)
ReplyDeleteHi Leandra. Yes, I tried to make parts funny, but in a realistic way. I think the funny parts work because people's differences naturally can lead to comical situations... especially if you don't understand another's culture.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I LOVE the sound of this! It sounds like it's in a similar vein to THE 5TH WAVE, which I really liked.
