Sherry has an abusive ex-boyfriend who shows up on her doorstep and claims to be one of these beings that have been popping up around the world. He's no longer the same person in that body. He tells her he has come to protect her and her brother and takes her underground, against her will to save her, where they meet others like them. She begins to unravel the truth about Merrick, about what he's really doing here, about the way he looks at her, about the crazy dangerous world they live in. Can he convince her that he's here to help? Will she like what she finds when she opens up to the truth? Will he be the one to love her when everyone else has failed her? Will he be able to protect her?

    This was an exciting story, with mystery, loyalty, danger, and of course the kind of love that Shelly Crane is so good at conveying. Merrick is so sweet and protective, you melt whenever he’s on screen so to speak. Sherry is young, but so maternal over her brother and mature, having been through her fair share in her life, making her incredibly endearing.

    The mini colony that evolves brings a great element of suspense as you never really know about some people, and you know that nothing lasts forever. The bonds and introductions made will carry on throughout the story, and I have no doubt they’ll come into play across the series too. There’s a lot of building, for the world and the relationships, which sometimes makes it feel a little slow or drawn out, but it gives the story plausibility and leaves you antsy to see how things progress in the next book!

    Collide will have you in awe and on the edge of your seat. If you’re looking for a little sci-fi with your romance, you will enjoy this story without a doubt.

    AMAZING!

    Amazing again! But what else did I expect out of a Shelly Crane novel they are always amazing! This book was unique like all the other books she writes. This is Dystopian somewhat but not like Divergent or Hunger Games. Sherry is smart, kind, loyal and loving. She is amazing even though she doesn't know it, but shes not like some other YA heroines that complain that there ugly and blah... blah. Her brother is a special, someone that is destined to do something great for the human race, which is why he is protected by the Keepers, alien type race that watch over there charge until they fulfill there destiny. His keeper is Merrick who has watched Sherry as well even though she wasn't his charge. In the beginning she thinks that she disgusts him but the opposite is true he loves her but doesn't think she could love an alien. Which you would think since he knows her so well he would know she can love anyone. The romance is intense, but not to graphic, the action is amazing and the smaller characters are awesome. Love Jeff! The ending is a bit sudden but still good. A must read!

    Great ebook

    I was unsure at first about this book but about half way through I was hooked. I still like the Significance series the best but this one is a close second.

    Amazing!

    Oh yeah, right up on my favorites shelf!! This book was so good! I love this whole story! It is scary and beautiful all at the same time. Merrick *sigh* Merrick is just amazing!! And Sherry just needed someone who loved her enough to make her see what a wonderful and loving person she is. I have actually really grown to love all the characters and I cannot wait to see how they all grow and change even more as the story goes on! I could gush a little more about how wonderful this was but right now I'm too excited to get started on Uprising!!

    My absolute fav series...

    Sherry has a horrible boss, hippy parents and a lazy brother. She is lonely and her abusive ex-boyfriend doesn't make her life any better. But one day the moon goes missing and "visitors" show up in other peoples dead bodies. This is where her boring life makes a u turn.

    So we have the Lighters who are bad. But they come to earth making people think they are good and that the Keepers are the bad guys. Which in all actuality the Keepers are good. In fact they are here watching over the Specials. Who are humans with a special purpose in their life, they just don't know what it is yet. Confused yet? Don't be. Shelly explains the whole story clearly. She pulls you in and you just want to stay there and never leave. I was constantly thinking about it when I wasn't reading it and forcing myself to put it down so I could go to sleep late at night.

    Characters...oh wow the characters. I love these people if they were my own family..if not better. She gives each character the perfect amount of attention so you know who they are. My favorite? Merrick of course. I adore him. So adorable and cute and funny. But best of all so protective and loving. I want a Merrick of my own. *And I will hug him and squeeze him and call him George, er Merrick* Well hubby might not approve of this. Oh well. Sherry can have him for now. I love how everyone bands together and become a family living in hiding. What a great group of people, taking care of each other and being there during the times it was needed.

    Like I said before, your drawn into the story. Riding on the highs of love right along with the characters...and fearing the unknown of a world spiraling out of control. The story and the characters stay with you long after your done reading.

    Absolutely A Must Read!
