The Almost Girl
ByPublisher Description
Seventeen-year-old Riven comes from a world parallel to Earth, a world that has been ravaged by a devastating android war. As a Legion General, she is the right hand of Prince Cale, the young Prince of Neospes. In her world, she's had everything: rank, responsibility, and respect. But when Prince Cale sends her away to rescue his long-lost brother, Caden, who has been spirited to modern day Earth, Riven finds herself in uncharted territory.
Armed with the mindset of a soldier and racing against time to bring Caden home, Riven must learn how to blend in as a girl in a realm that is the opposite of all she's ever known. Will she be able to find the strength to defy her very nature? Or will she become the monstrous soldier she was designed to be?

“The Almost Girl is seriously one of the best books I have read in a long time. The story had me from page one until the final page and had me screaming “WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!” I am officially in love with this story.
Riven was a General of an epic and terrifying force of soldiers called Vectors. Dead soldiers being brought back to life with technology. Now Riven is on the run from her father and his Vectors trying to find the one person who can save her best-friends Cale’s life. His brother. Cale’s mother escaped into modern day Earth with Caden, Cale’s brother and she’s been sent to find him and bring him back. Except it gets a whole lot more complicated than she ever expected when she finds Caden after 3 years of searching.
I won’t say more than that because I don’t want to give anything away, but there is romance, people die, it’s a race against time and a fight to the death every day. I loved every freaking minute of it.
Riven is just awesome. She’s a totally kick butt character who doesn’t take crap from anyone. She’s been taught to be the best soldier she can be and not to love. Her father is a sick disgusting man taken over by geed and her mother and sister are dead. She’s had a very hard life and was taught not to love. Then she meets Caden and things change more for her. She’s supposed to be an emotionless soldier but after being in her head for more than five minutes you know she’s not. I enjoyed reading about her transformation from afraid to love to willing to do anything to protect it.
Caden is super awesome. I enjoy his character so much. Book boyfriend material right here. He sees through Riven’s hard exterior right away and becomes her friend despite her being kind of prickly in the beginning. I enjoyed reading his teasing of Riven and just taking everything in stride.
The Almost Girl reminds me a lot of two of my favorite series: Project Paper Doll by Stacey Kade and A Throne of Glass by Sara J. Maas. If you haven’t read either of these I am so sorry for you and you need to pick these up. Riven does the whole “thousand ways to kill you thing” I enjoy a lot more than a normal person should. Such a phenomenal book and I am counting down the days until I can read book two. If you haven’t read anything by Amalie Howard, that’s okay I hadn’t either until this book. Be prepared to be wowed!”
