With headaches and visions making her life miserable, Stella can't wait to go to school in California and start a new chapter in her life. Her adoptive parents are scientists in charge of Monad, the largest scientific research firm in the world. In California, Stella discovers, not only her biological family, but that she's a major part of Monad's research. There's more to her visions than she first thought. You see, Stella is the living proof of reincarnation and must keep herself safe. But whom can she really trust? She will have to dig through the past in order to figure out her future.
This book offers a spiritual and adventurous journey. I love how the author briefly explores the consequences of reincarnation for mankind. The author takes reincarnation to a whole new level. The storyline is very clever and original. It kept me guessing until the end. Some moments truly shocked me and I just couldn't turn the pages fast enough to find out what would happen next. The writing is amazing. The first few lines grab your attention and the ending leaves you begging for more.
I love how the book starts with two different narrators and then both characters meet each other and discover their past and how they're related. I also love how they instantly connect like they know each other and take care of one another. There's also a bit of romance between Dane, who's job consists of protecting both girls, and one of the girls. At the beginning of the book, I told the author I was predicting a love triangle but I'll let you find out for yourself. It's really hard to talk about the book without giving away any spoilers so trust me on this one, Monad 12.21.12 : The Awakening of Stella Steinar is an excellent read! The story is so captivating you'll never want it to end!
5 stars!!!

The story doesn't have to end...I am currently writing the sequel, so you're in luck! And you are NOT going to believe what happens next. Thanks for the glowing review, Melanie. So happy you liked it.

Ooh...I'm convinced. Sounds good! It seems a lot more of the "end of days" date books have been cropping up recently...suppose it was bound to happen. Good to know about the sequel too. ^_^ Great job on the review!
