I haven't read very many books about aliens, so this was a first for me. 
 I found the premise fascinating, and unique. I mean, an alien/human hybrid that was created for tests and weaponry? Pretty awesome sounding, huh? 
 Pretty awesome sounding is a good phrase to sum up this book. It sounds pretty awesome, but doesn't act upon its claims. Don't get me wrong, this book wasn't bad. It was pretty good; it just was missing that final leap that would have made it awesome. 
 As a character Ariane, was decent. About a third of the time I felt really, really annoyed by her. She found it that easy to break with the rules that she's been following for ten years? I don't buy it. Also, she broke the rules for a guy she hated one day, spent two days with, then was madly in love with. Again I must plead with the world, no more undeveloped love stories. Please!) 
 All the other aspects of Ariane were actually quite likeable. Her telekinesis (my favorite fictional power ever,) and general personality were both good. I liked her as a person. 
 Also, surprisingly, I really liked Zane. You may be wondering how it's possible that I like the main boy, but disliked the love story? Simple. Characters whose personality only matters to the love story annoy me. They should be separate. I liked Zane's story, personality, and character a lot. I felt like he was well rounded and a great guy. 
 The only thing that wasn't developed was the love part. I've already mentioned that, so let's ignore it. 
 The other annoyance I had with this book, was the fact that all my questions weren't answered. Why Ariane has her powers. (view spoiler)[Why Mark Tucker helped in the end, and why Ariane trusted him after what he did. Why it was that easy to escape. Not realistic at all. (hide spoiler)] 
 Also, it was a cliffhanger. Not cool, Stacey Kade, not cool. 
 I've made this book sound much lamer than it really is. This book was exciting, there was some action, and it was intense. As a girl who has grown up with conspiracy theories being poured into my ears, I felt right at home with this novel. Will I read the next book? Definitely.
