Dark. Gripping. Sci-fi/Paranormal Romance.There’s a place from my nightmares. A place where bad things hide.The memories kept me awake for most of my life. But it’s not what keeps me awake anymore. It’s her. She calls me, desperate and pleading. Like a shining star I can’t quite find. I feel those men from my nightmares coming for her. Only she can’t sense them—she can’t see. Not the past. Or the … my nightmares coming for her. Only she can’t sense them—she can’t see.
Not the past.
Or the future…unlike me.
Until one day as I stood in a doorway in the barren wasteland in Afghanistan with my squad at my back…my star dimmed, and sputtered out.
I have two holes in my chest now. One which bears her name.
I have to find her. I pray I’m not too late. First I have to find the others, two more guys like me.
Together we seek a North Star.
One we were born half in love with.
Leading us back home.
Without ever knowing we were lost at all.
SIXTH is the enthralling 45,000 word first book in the series. The romance comes together in the next book.

Sixth is amazing read!!! Even if at time I had a hard time following along. I will admit that I got goosebumps while reading this especially when Sixth was having his visions because that was when all the action was happening. It was a little confusing and frustrated because I couldn’t really piece together (neither could Sixth) it was like I could feel his frustration. I was like what is it exactly that he seeing!!! Can we also talk about that CLIFFHANGER!!!! OMG just when things were getting juicy too!!! Overall enjoyable and entertaining read with plenty of intrigue, suspense, and action to keep you engage from beginning to end. So looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
This is a prequel story that follows Sixth. He is one of a number of children who were tested on as children and have some extraordinary powers. Sixth has had flashes of a Purple haired girl for years, and now is on a mission to find her. He finds two more guys who also have a connection. I liked that we get the guys POVs and am definitely going to pick up Oleander so I can find out what happens with Sixth, Tex, Shadow, and their Purple Hair 🙂
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
What an interesting start to this new paranormal/science fiction series. We meet Sixth as a child and growing up as he deals with being different while everyone thinks he is crazy. At some point his parents even sent him somewhere that was awful though he cannot really remember all of the details. All he can remember is the purple hair girl that he connects with in his mind. She essentially saves his sanity without knowing so when she is in trouble he comes running gathering the others he can sense as well. I have to say that I cannot wait to see where all of this cray stuff is going as I am really curious by this point. The book is a little slow to get going as it tries to build with the background but once it gets good it is really good so I give it 4/5 stars.
This is a slow burn book and we get to see Mark aka Sixth during the years as he grows up becoming the man he is. This is a slow burn so you have to stick with it as it really does set the foundation of the story but I do hope we get to know each characters throughout the series. We see Sixth through the years as he deals with the nightmares of what he has been through and the salvation he finds while fate awaits him. We get glimpses of the others who are like him and meet them towards the end of the book and can’t help but like them from the get go. I like how the story slowly reveals itself and we learn more of what they have been through and start to build a bigger picture of what happened to them all and why they are drawn together. I can not wait for the next book as I was totally hooked by then end!!
