I love Stacey Kade's writing. Simple as that! Back in my high school years, Ghost and the Goth was my go to read and it helped me through some very tough times. As I have gotten older and have more money to spend (Yay Adulthood!), I have been on the lookout for more Stacey Kade books to read, enjoy, and eventually review so I can share all of the love.
Unfortunately, I was only able to find book three in the Project Paper Doll series locally. It's been sitting on my shelf for literally five years and I finally decided that I was just going to pick it up and hope for the best. That was a bit of a mistake because I was very lost (although Stacey does a great job of filling in as many details as possible), but regardless... this book is good! I really need to get my hands on the first two books in this series so I can re-read this book in the way it was meant to be - as a series.
Ariane Tucker is an alien hybrid who is apart of a wicked experiment. The corporation that created her has her as apart of a trial, showing off their abilities. She's designed to be a potential weapon of mass destruction, but she truly isn't one. She's a girl who misses her dear friend (cough cough... something more?... cough cough) Zane and is just trying to cope with her very confusing existence. But then, things suddenly change when someone from her past comes back.... And things turn dark FAST.
If I had read this as a series, this would have been one INCREDIBLE finale. Seriously, this book had me pulled in and glued to it (even if I was very confused on why certain things were happening). I do recommend reading the entire series in the correct order to get the full effect, but this book was GOOD. Honestly, I loved the unique ideas and drama that goes down. I'm thoroughly impressed and really think more people need to get their hands on this series. What a hidden gem!
Four out of five stars!
