"Barry returns with a near-future, action-packed
tale of extraterrestrials that also explores troubling
social unrest. Through her protagonists, Barry explores the
gritty reality of a reluctant alien invasion and the
resulting fallout. These star-crossed lovers have sparks
aplenty and baggage galore. Barry's world just begs for
future exploration, so readers can expect to take this
thrill ride once again!" -Romantic Times
Magazine,
"In some ways mindful of Alien Nation, the opening
XCEL science fiction romantic police procedural is a
terrific manhunt (make that ET hunt) thriller. The story
line is fast-paced with the shifters intermingled with New
Yorkers coming across as genuine. With the two lead
investigators forging a star-crossed relationship while
going after Jack, but discovering so much more, readers will
relish C.J. Barry’s entertaining tale." -
