Blurb:
A year ago I had woken up with no memory of who I was. No one seemed to know anything about me and for months the police investigated only to find nothing. The only thing I had was a necklace with the name Angela Starr.
The government gave me an ID with that name and let me enroll in a community college to get my GED. All the psychologists that they had examine me thought that would be best and going to school might jog some memories since they figured I was in my late teens. Well, it did, as I ran into a boy my age that I felt I knew, but before I could fully recover those memories, we found ourselves being chased into a portal that led to the other side of the universe.
But why did this other planet seem so familiar?
My Review:
A Falling Starr: The Complete Trilogy
A young girl has amnesia. She has no memory of who she is or where she came from. Her name is Angela Starr or that is the name on the necklace she was wearing when they found her. No one could predict her age so thought it to would be best if she took a few courses at a community college to see where she stands.
The two guys who have been following Angela have finally caught up with her. They are trying to knock her down as they are trying to get inside her apartment. Who are these guys and what do they want with Angela?
A Falling Starr is a very intense read that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish trying to figure out she who this girl was. The secrets and the twists just kept piling up one after the other keeping me in suspense at all times as I raced to the end so I could find out.

A Falling Starr #2
The two guys who have been following Angela have finally caught up with her. They are trying to knock her down as they are trying to get inside her apartment. Who are these guys and what do they want with Angela?
Just as the guys break down the door Angela races out the door running for her life. She runs right into this other guy that she has also seen and met around campus. She runs right into Emmerich’s waiting arms. Emmerich or Rick asks Angela to trust him as he whisks her away to their home planet.
Angela demands that Rick tells her the truth about who she is. But he thinks it best if he waits until they reach their home planet. He needs to enlist the help of others besides he isn’t sure that it would be in her best interest to give her everything at once as it could do more damage.
The suspense just keeps on ticking with each turn of the page as the plot thickens. The secrets keep piling up as the tension increases. Angela seems to be a great and strong person. Can she deal with whatever it is that Rick needs to tell her? The excitement just keeps growing.

A Falling Starr #3
Angela’s memories have finally come back to her. She now knows who she is. She is the Empress of her kingdom but leadership was taken from her along with her memories. Now she must turn to her enemies for help if she wants to rule again and take back what is truly hers.
The twists just keep coming. The suspense just keeps rolling out with each turn of the page. I loved all the characters well at least most of them. Angela was a great person and stepped up nicely. I liked how she handle everything when the truth was revealed to her.

Read an Excerpt
The paramedics placed Margie on the stretcher and rushed her outside to the ambulance while the cops placed tape around the church, which is determine a murder scene.
Meanwhile at home, Barry heard the news on television.
Wait, Margie and Jason are at the church. Why did no one call me? He jumped up, put on his shoes, grabbed his keys, and ran out the door to his work truck.
When he arrived at the church, Barry glanced around the church and noticed red and blue lights blinking from all the police cars. There were crowds of people surrounding the church. He heard the cops telling everyone to move away and go home. He ran up to the tape and his eyes widened as he realized that something terrible had happened inside.
Barry started screaming, “Where are my wife and son? Where is wife and my son? Can somebody tell me where they are?”
“Calm down, sir,” said the detective. “I’m Detective Earl. Four of the victims have been rushed to the hospital, but we haven’t identified the bodies inside yet.”
“I can help you identify some of the victims because I attend this church with my family and I practically know everyone!” yelled Barry.
Barry knew that would be the only way to get inside to see if Jason and Margie were all right.
“Okay, just stay right here, sir, for just a minute.”
The detective went over and talked to the chief of police. They looked back and forth toward Barry and glanced at him sideways with narrow eyes.
