In the concluding book in the otherworldly Taking trilogy, Kyra struggles to understand who she is as she races to save the world from complete destruction. Ever since Kyra was abducted by aliens and then returned to earth, she has known there was something different about her. Now she knows the truth: she is an alien too. Her alien captors replaced all her human DNA with their own—gifting her with supernatural powers like incredible healing, enhanced eyesight, and telekinesis. But when she’s captured by an unexpected enemy, Kyra begins to wonder if her abilities are also a curse. And is she, as her enemies believe, meant to play some key role in helping an impending alien invasion? Is it programmed into her, something inescapable? Or can she fight that destiny? No matter what the truth is, Kyra is sure of one thing: She just rescued the love of her life, Tyler, and she is not going to stand by and let anyone hurt him or her friends. Whatever it takes, Kyra will do everything in her power to save the world…even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice. She's part alien, part weapon, and all that stands between humanity and annihilation. Can she fight her destiny without losing everyone she loves? Alien Abduction Romance: Kyra knows Tyler is the love of her life. But since the aliens wiped his memory, he only remembers her as a friend. Supernatural Abilities: With alien DNA, Kyra can heal in seconds, see in the dark, and move things with her mind. But these gifts might be a curse designed by her captors. Fast-Paced Action: A desperate race against time as Kyra and her friends flee a secret government agency determined to capture her and exploit her powers. Destiny vs. Choice: Is she programmed to aid the invasion, or can she forge her own path? Saving the world will require the ultimate sacrifice.
