This book is a pleasant surprise. It has twist and turns around each corner. It keeps you intrigued until the very end. This isn’t just another run of the mill sci-fi romance books, it’s really good. It has a great story line with a lot of depth and gets you thinking about a lot of different things.

This would normally not be a book I would just pick up and read but I am so glad I did! Can you imagine waking up after being in cryogenic stasis for a thousand years? Shannon discovers this new world and expected to provide information, except she can’t remember things and she is full of questions. The characters are absolutely fantastic and the story telling is great. There is enough of everything to keep you turning the pages and interested. Highly Recommend!

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed it. It was set in a post apocalyptic future where the earth was destroyed and the main character Shannon is awoken from a cryo sleep by an interesting alien male seeking answers she doesn’t have. There are twists and turns, drama, mystery and romance. I thought this book was interesting from the start and I will definitely pick up more by this author in the future!
Happy Reading!

I absolutely love reading stories in which certain concepts and themes are brought into new stories with their own twists. This novel was definitely one of them and I enjoyed it from the beginning. Shannon has been frozen for over a thousand years and she has been revived. With such a large gap of years missing, she is full of questions of what has happened to Earth. Certain things are withheld and she’s monitored as she rehabilitates to her new surroundings. Soon after her earthly departure, Earth gets attacked and then years after they start communicating and engaging with aliens who trade with one another. She also becomes acquainted with a male alien, D’lane and her curiosity gets the best of her of learning about him and starts developing feelings for him. Seeing where their relationship grows and coming to terms with many unknowns sums up this story in a nutshell!

I read a book by this author earlier this year, so when I came upon this one, I picked it up immediately. They deliver a compelling narrative that blends high-stakes adventure with rich character development. Shannon is our main character who came out of a cryogenic stasis, finds herself grappling with her forgotten past and looming threat of planetary annihilation. The tension between her and D’lane grows immensely and leaps off the pages. Both characters go through their own evolution, but Shannon’s is my favorite. She goes from a confused and vulnerable figure to a determined protagonist willing to confront her past. The plot twists are well-timed, keeping me on the edge of my seats as alliances shift and the threat of annihilation looms ever closer.
Overall, this was an engaging and thought-provoking read that blends sci-fi romance, adventure, and a touch of mystery. Fans of sci-fi will find themselves eagerly turning the pages, ready to uncover the secrets of the past and fate of the galaxy. I’m excited to see what else this author has in store for us!

It’s an interesting story with unique characters. The flow is pretty smooth. There are a few parts to be smoothed out in the premise of the story but overall it’s okay.

This was a really good sci-fi romance. The author has done an incredible job of world building really bring world thousands of years in the future to know. Giving the reader a glimpse of what the future may possibly look like.
This does have a romance element between our main character Shannon and alien called D’lane however there is so much more in this story. There are secrets, politics, dangers, and the threat of war against Earth to add to the story.
Shannon has been brought out of a Kyrogenic freeze thousands of years after her death. But why was she brought back? Finding herself in a time that she doesn’t know surrounded by people who aren’t human means Shannon has a lot to deal with. But that’s not all Shannon holds the secrets and information required to stop another attack on Earth but with her memories lost and not reappearing quickly will they be able to get the information they need before it’s too late?
As well as finding love unexpectedly there is also enemies that Shannon isn’t aware existed. Can she survive the new world she finds herself in? And can she Shannon and D’lane work together to save this new world?
I really enjoyed this story. I was captivated from the beginning and I wasn’t able to put it down until I finished. I look forward to reading more from this author

I’ve only read a couple of E. L. Roux’s books, but I like that we get a variety of genres. I really enjoyed “Unrequited Love,” the first book in the Magic and Heartache series, so I decided to explore more of this author’s work. That’s how I came across “Unexpected Revival,” the first book in the Revival series. It’s a sci-fi tale that spans new worlds, enemies, and aliens. This book captured my attention from the beginning and held it throughout.
Shannon finds her world turned upside down when she discovers she died over a millennium ago. This is not her world; her world was destroyed, so there’s that. She doesn’t know who she can trust or anything else about the place, so she has her work cut out for her. Well, that is if they survive.
I won’t give away any spoilers; you’ll just have to read it to discover what happens.

From the minute I read the blurb, this book gave me Demolition Man vibes, which I absolutely loved. The premise of this story was great. Waking up years in the future and having to jump into action made of an exciting story. There was so much packed into this book, it really keeps you hooked from start to finish.
I thought the connection between the characters was great. It was strong from the moment they met and meant you became invested in them. This is a well written story by an author I really enjoy. I would suggest this is a book worth reading.
