About the book: If your world suddenly crumbled, leaving you with nothing but heartache, would you risk your life for a chance at a new beginning on a new world? Brett Bradbury's parents are dead, her boyfriend's a cheater, and her best friend essentially dumped her. Truly alone in the world, Brett agrees to help colonize the newly discovered planet, Verita. Now Brett's on a strange new world. She quickly makes friends and starts her assigned job. Verita begins to feel like home, but it's far from perfect. Brett has an overwhelming attraction to Brody, despite the fact that he's entirely not her type. Her colleague, Ryan, utterly hates her for reasons out of her control. And there are creatures in the forest that would like nothing more than to devour everyone for dinner. Brett's heart and mind are at odds each other. She's constantly fighting with Ryan. So, Concentrating on her job is becoming more and more difficult. Plus it's hard to ignore some of the strange things that have been happening around her. But, when Brett finds herself stranded in the wilderness, the only thing that matters is survival.
My Review: I was lucky to win the chance to receive the e-book. I'm not a big fan of e-books, because it really annoys me to read books on a computer, but I requested this one anyways and I'm happy that I did.
Verita is quite an interesting novel. I found myself completely drawn into the story and couldn't stop reading until I finished. This book has an interesting and new storyline than others I have recently read. The characters are easily likeable and fun to "listen" to.
The thought of having a tragedy strike you down in life and being offered a chance to move on and do something better with your life is so tempting, especially to Brett after losing so much. Not only does she get to put the past behind her and move onto her future, she's given a chance that most people could only dream of. She receives a new home, a job, adventure, great friends, and finds love and lust. She faces difficulties, but she learns to face them head on and with her head held high. 4/5 STARS
