Description Connection by Dana Claire

Beatrice Walker thought she lived in a normal world—that is until she learned she’s a living hostel for an alien energy source, and apparently the answer to preventing extinction.

Bea has no memory of her last moments with her mother. The week they’d gone missing is a complete mystery. Suddenly moved back to her hometown with her father, Bea has rekindled her friendship with her two best friends—and seems to have caught the attention of an arrogant, yet gorgeous boy named Cash Kingston. But there’s more to Cash than his annoying attitude and good looks. Cash isn’t human, and he’s now in charge of protecting Bea from those who know what she keeps safe inside her: the energy source that once belonged to his murdered girlfriend.

Tensions mount as Bea learns her energy source must be paired with the one Cash holds to protect both their planets from an imminent threat. But what Bea doesn’t realize is there’s more to her than being human a host, that her feelings for Cash are not just a prophetic plan that will save their planets, and that the fate of everything lies in her choices.

Review Connection by Dana Claire

Guest Review by Mark S.

The course of true love never did run smooth, did it? Especially not when you throw in teenage hormones, heartbreak and oh, yeah, alien biology into the mix. ‘The Connection: Two Worlds, One Connection’ by Dana Claire is just the type of YA that makes reading fun and exciting again.

The main character, Beatrice Walker starts out the book with a fairly normal life, despite the fact that her mother was recently killed in a suspicious accident. Now, Beatrice lives with her father and attends the local high school where she gets a very unwelcome surprise in the form of a group of new students moving to town.

The group, headed up by a boy named Cash, are all devastatingly gorgeous but also strange and standoffish. Beatrice isn’t sure what to think of them at first, and she is very unsure what to think when she arrives home to find Cash speaking to her father at her house.

Suddenly, Beatrice finds herself embroiled in an intergalactic battle that she didn’t even realize existed as well as connected to Cash in a way that she couldn’t have dreamed. Still unsure whether or not she even likes Cash, Beatrice finds that she must cooperate with him to save her own life and the lives of beings on a planet that she has never seen.

This was a thrilling read and one that I couldn’t put down from start to finish! Dana Claire has told a fresh, exciting story here that still has all of the classical elements of traditional storytelling and plotting. ‘The Connection’ checked every box for me, story wise and I loved the romance between the two main characters.

I absolutely can’t wait to read the second installment in the series and find out what happens to these characters next! I give it 5 stars.

I received the ebook for my honest opinion.
