Horizon
by Tabitha Lord
Category: Adult Fiction, 314 pages
Genre: Science Fiction, Space Opera
Publisher: Wise Ink Creative Publishing
Release date: December 2015
Tour dates: May 22 to July 14, 2017
Content Rating: PG-13 + M (There are a few, moderately explicit sex scenes, genocide, rape, and moderate language.)

Caeli Crys isn’t living—she’s surviving. On the run after the genocide of her empathic people, she witnesses a spaceship crash near her hidden camp. When she feels the injured pilot suffering from miles away, she can’t help but risk discovery to save his life.

Commander Derek Markham awakens stranded on an uncharted planet. His co-pilot is dead, his ship is in ruins, and he’s only alive because a beautiful young woman is healing him with her mind.

As Derek recovers, Caeli shares the horror of her past and her fear for the future. When Derek’s command ship, Horizon, sends rescue, Derek convinces Caeli to leave with him. But his world is as treacherous as hers—full of spies, interplanetary terrorist plots, and political intrigue. Soon the Horizon team is racing to defend an outlying planet from a deadly enemy, and Caeli’s unique skills may just give them the edge they need to save it.

DISCLAIMER: I was sent a complimentary copy of this book for honest review, and as part of this blog tour. be sure to check out the rest of the tour. Schedule is below. Be on the look out for my review of the next book in this series!

I've never read Space Opera before. I've read a good portion of Sci-Fi and I love it. Following Caeli and Derek was an adventure. I liked how Caeli could link her mind with others. Her relationship with Derek, how she worries for him while he heals. *SIGHS* I don't know what to say!

I think I was in the start of a reading slump, but I pushed through because I really looked forward to this book. Tabitha Lord's has her own writing style, as she should. It separates her from other authors. Her writing has flow. The story was interested and kept me going. I liked the characters and am excited for more.

MY RATING: 4 OF 5 STARS.
