Terra’s Fate (The Darkest Day, #3) by Danielle Forrest

Terra's Fate by Danielle Forrest
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Terra Wilson, a long out-of-work clerical employee, is glad to finally receive an interview at NASA, but during her pre-employment physical, it is discovered that unknown to her, she is actually a shifter, a non-human, and shifters are outlawed. She is tossed into a shifter internment camp, shocked and hopeless, until she witnesses the tragic arrival of a shifter toddler named Annie who has been torn from her human family and dumped, alone, into the same camp. Taking Annie into her care, Terra now has a mission: protect Annie and get them both out of the camp!

Using her newly discovered shifter skills, Terra escapes one night with Annie in her arms and immediately runs into Shandor Jackson, himself a shifter, who takes them to the clandestine shifter caravan encampment where he lives. As Terra fitfully works out her thoughts and feelings about being a shifter, and Annie settles into the life of the caravan, Jackson finds himself becoming more and more enamored of the pair and the idea that they could become a family. All the while, the human world is gearing up for the fight for their very existence as the evil alien army approaches the planet intent on wiping out the human race and taking Earth for themselves.

I really enjoyed this 3rd addition to The Darkest Day series by author Danielle Forrest. Terra's Fate runs concurrently to the story chronicled in the series second book, Tristan's Choice, however the characters from the previous novels are only peripheral at first. New characters give the reader an insight into what is happening on Earth and what society in America is like during this time frame. The two stories dovetail and wrap up the storylines begun in both of the previous series books.

I highly recommend this entire series, and readers should start with Mila's Shift and continue reading in order of publication. Each book builds on what came before. For those that read and enjoyed the previous two in the series, this one will satisfy all your questions and entertain at the same time.

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.
