Resumen del Editor

Earth is dying. Hope waits light-years away on Arcadia, a planet veiled in cyan atmosphere...and harboring a dark side.

On the last day of Cassie’s starship journey to her new home, her father is killed in a mysterious explosion. Somehow, she manages to escape death - helped by a vanishing stranger with otherworldly blue-green eyes.

But his presence lingers in her dreams.

Officials swear the explosion was a horrible accident, but she’s convinced they are hiding something....

About her father. About Arcadia.

Orphaned and alone, Cassie begins to see curious glowing visions and soon the boy with the cyan eyes reemerges. He offers her one chance to uncover what became of her father and the secrets the planet holds.

Two worlds collide, and a powerful attraction draws her to Javen. She can’t say no to the opportunity....

Even if saying yes forces her to choose between saving humanity or saving Arcadia.

Very Enjoyable

I got to listen to this at the courtesy of the author in exchange for a review. First, I thought the narration for the audiobook was well done. I can’t say she was my favorite narrator, but she did a fantastic job of giving each character a distinct voice, and the can cover a multitude of other things in my book.

I really enjoyed this story. It’s a little like the movie Avatar: greedy humans plundering a new planet to the detriment of its original inhabitants. But I really enjoyed the skews that took it in a slightly different direction! I won’t say what, because I don’t want to ruin it for you.

The book is fairly short, so it’s an easy read, and there is plenty of action to keep you invested in what is happening. I’m really looking forward to seeing the next book and how the characters and story continue to develop.

Quick but great read

I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to find out what's going to happen to Cassi, Javen, Irene, Max, and Cassi's dad.

Wow

What an amazing story, though it ends on a cliffhanger..I can't wait for the next book. I highly recommend this

⭐⭐great story!⭐⭐⭐

The narrator did a fantastic job! The story was super engaging and interesting and I'm 30 so it was entertaining. can't wait to start book number two!

Try it!! Loved it!

If you like fantasy and a hint of sci-fi pick this series up!! Not sure if sci-fi is for you, give it a try! I absolutely loved Cassi!! We follow Cassi and she and several other people travel to another universe.
Oh this book has all kinds of great elements!! The characters are great, mystery, cute boy or two!! What else do you need!! I highly recommend the audiobook as well. The narrator was fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hated to put my headphones off. Loved getting lost in this world!

Great Story

I really enjoyed Starfire by Jenettea Penner.
I became a fan of her writing after listening to The Configured Trilogy. Penner gives you female characters that you can relate to and get emotionally invested in. Starfire is no exception. You follow Casseopiea as she and her father travel to a new world to create a new life for humanity. Cass is surprised to enjoy her life until a group of terrorists attack and everything she knows is slipped upside down.
The narrator is perfect for the character and doesn't bore you or overdo the emotional. This makes for a pleasant listening experience.
overall, I loved the story. It was unique and the romance wasn't overly cheesy or present. It worked well with the story.
I would encourage other YA fans to have a read or listen to this book. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.
I received a free copy from th3 author, but all opinions are my own.

Good book

This was a pretty good book. There was a lot going on as new plots are uncovered. It ended in a cliff hanger, and can’t wait for book two to see what happens.

Wow!

This story sucks you right in. It is a YA Romance. And is so good. I can’t wait for the rest to come to audiable.🤞
Narrative was also great!

Conspiracy Theories and Aliens UHM YAS

Parents can have high expectations for their children but Cassiopeia has to live up to a new nation's idea of her. Her parents were famous scientists helping found a colony on the planet Arcadia. Her mother passed away before reaching the planet. Terrorists attack just days before they start their new life on Arcadia and her father is murdered. Or so the government says. Cassie believes her father was kidnapped, not murdered but no one will listen to her. She takes on her father’s job to gain access to the information needed to save him. Along the way, she meets Javen and Max which tugs her deeper into conspiracies behind the new colony.

Magic but in the form of misunderstood science is one of my favorite magic types. I really appreciate the concepts Jenetta Penner puts forwards in saving the world and creating a new colony but this one just wasn’t for me.

I really appreciate the character building and the descriptions of both boys has me torn in who I support as the romantic interest. The narrator did a good job with emotions and descriptions in her voice as well. I just had a hard time getting through it and won't be reading the sequels.

Light space story

Thanks to the Author for this wonderful opportunity to listen to this book, and Audiobx for the review opportunity. The narrator was engaging and easy to follow.

Starfire is a book perfectly suited for its genre, in YA Space scifi & fantasy. It deals with landing on a new planet where they are not alone... but it's not the locals that have sinister agenda but the incoming humans.

Its a light space fantasy since we don't get a in depth back story about how they came upon a new planet, since we start of with MC being already enroute and lands into thorny situation upon reaching the planet.

THE Alcou, it's an interesting concept dealing with multiple dimensions and their life source is under danger from being tampered by human.
I feel the parts with Jivan were rushed, our MC could've gleaned more but their interactions were too short on discoveries but to much on angst.

Cassie, our MCs goal was to find out what happened to her father prior landing, but with the Alcous survival on the line she.... Obviously takes matter into her own hands.... And I'm sorry to say it felt a bit too easy.
She somehow has all the right people at her reach and are blindly going along with her....
However, the overall story was enjoyable, I will be listening to the sequel to see where the story picks from book1
