HASH by April M. Reign

Every night, Jade is rattled by a recurring dream—a dream that’s as real as the research institute where she lives. When flames fall from the sky and an alien ship crashes into Earth, Jade becomes government property and at the mercy of scientists. After all, she’s imprinted with an intelligent alien metal that could be the answer to all of Earth’s problems.

However, in the wrong hands, the metal implant could become the deadliest weapon known to humankind.

Kept underground for sixteen years, Jade fights to keep her sanity and understand the intelligent organism that is wrapped around her spine. When a new company takes over the science institute, Jade’s alien symbiont warns her of imminent danger.

Then Jade meets Aric, the lone survivor from the spaceship. They form an alliance that will change their personal destiny and they put a plan into motion that will alter the future of mankind.

MY REVIEW:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1354386385

I thought this was an awesome, quick little read. You have Jade that was in a car crash at three-years-old with her parents, which killed them. An alien spacecraft crashed into them. Jade made contact with a female alien who attached a metal piece inside of her arm that moved to her back to live there.

Sixteen years later at the age of nineteen Jade is in a government institute where she has lived all of her life. She lives in a little room, more like a cell. She has, what she calls her imaginary friend, Em with her everywhere she goes. Dr. Stevens has been a sort of mother to Jade all of her life. She has been trying to find ways to remove the metal from Jade's body, but it can't seem to be done without killing Jade.

Unfortunately, the institute has been bought out by some jerks that want to do bad things to Jade. They feel like for sixteen years the money has been wasted on Jade. So, they introduce her to Aric..yummy Aric. It turns out that Aric was in the wreck as well and his parents were the aliens that were killed. So Aric is a full blooded alien that looks like your best desert. They have been in this place for sixteen years and finally able to meet each other.

Aric can show Jade his home planet of Celenia when they touch hands. He can show her his people and the bad aliens called the Devourers.

The new people that have taken over, Professor Ahern being their boss, have bad things planned for Jade and Aric and possibly for the future of the planet and the aliens out there somewhere.

But Jade and Aric have other plans with the help of Dr. Stevens and Em.

I loved this book and I am looking forward to what happens in the next two books in this trilogy. At this time they are all on kindle unlimited for those that want to read them. Fin
