Inhaltsangabe

In the concluding book in the otherworldly Taking trilogy, Kyra struggles to understand who she is as she races to save the world from complete destruction.

Ever since Kyra was abducted by aliens and then returned to earth, she has known there was something different about her. Now she knows the truth: she is an alien too. Her alien captors replaced all her human DNA with their own—gifting her with supernatural powers like incredible healing, enhanced eyesight, and telekinesis. But when she’s captured by an unexpected enemy, Kyra begins to wonder if her abilities are also a curse. And is she, as her enemies believe, meant to play some key role in helping an impending alien invasion? Is it programmed into her, something inescapable? Or can she fight that destiny?

No matter what the truth is, Kyra is sure of one thing: She just rescued the love of her life, Tyler, and she is not going to stand by and let anyone hurt him or her friends. Whatever it takes, Kyra will do everything in her power to save the world…even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice.

She rescued the boy she loves, but can she save the world from a destiny written in her very DNA?

• Amnesia Romance: She remembers everything about falling in love with Tyler. He remembers nothing. Now, with the world on the line, she has to save the boy who doesn’t even know he’s hers.
• A Dangerous Love Triangle: As Kyra fights for a future with Tyler, her close friend Simon makes it clear he wants to be more than just her ally in the coming war.
• On the Run from a Secret Agency: A covert government division known as the Daylighters will stop at nothing to capture Kyra and turn her powers into a weapon, forcing her and her friends into hiding.
• High Stakes Survival: With enemies closing in from all sides—human and alien—Kyra must decide who to trust and what she’s willing to sacrifice to protect the people she loves.
