The Liar Charms

Publisher Marketing: Remy's just graduated college and... been kidnapped! Sent to auction. And she doesn't have the vaguest idea why. But intractable businessman Isaiah Grommet knows why, knows what he's purchased, knows what Remy was bred for, knows what she is: a Liar Charm. After the requisite training from Pakken, Inc., Remy and her newfound little genetic talent will be invaluable to Isaiah's billionaire empire -voluntary or not. Awakening in a locked room in New York City with other bewildered young women Remy is thunderstruck when informed by Isaiah what her new future is: Pakken, Inc. will train her and then she'll be working for him. Or, she can face the wrath (not to mention the executioner!) of Pakken itself, an old and powerful company of very patriarchal men siring very special daughters for very special remuneration they are NOT going to give up. But one Pakken father has had enough -and he's secretly doing something about it. Another one is too but in a decidedly lethal direction. And Remy? Remy has a whopping big secret herself, one Pakken sure hasn't bargained for. 'Cause when it comes to being forced into enslaved servitude, hipster Remy has some pretty intractable ideas herself, creatively inventive ones if you want to be charitable, brain-bleached hilarious ones if you want to be accurate. So if Remy can just turn her "screw yous" into "yessirs" instead of launching her barmiest blast of fake-the-funk evah, she MIGHT not only stay alive but even pull a Captain Sully and land the whole gigabucks Pakken lot of 'em smack in the Hudson! Unfortunately Remy has never managed a "yessir" in her life. Contributor Bio:  O'Neil, Lorain Independent Reviewer SIFT, review by Kevin: I found Alien Advantage extremely exciting the whole way through. I can't remember a single dull moment. The progression of the story and the character development was fantastic, and I really felt connected to the characters. Alien Advantage is definitely a must read. Mark Hemmings is a troubled law student abducted by aliens who then later return only to be captured by a secret organization that studies alien returnees. After his transfer to the secret facility, he has many interactions with the base psychologist and the Air Force General in addition to other returnees. These interactions, along with the normal and adversarial relationships, were masterfully crafted and fascinating to watch develop. Lorain O'Neil must have some great insight into human psyche and interaction. This was a quick and easy read, especially due to the non-stop excitement. I only noticed a few minor grammar mistakes, and while the language wasn't particularly complex, it wasn't overly simplistic either. Anyone who loves a straight up sci-fi with lots of action will love this book. Considering the fact that I could not put it down, I give Alien Advantage 5 stars. Other books by the author are "Coquina Hard" [historical fiction]; "The Dangerous Path of Loving Jaesha" [humorous erotic thriller]; "A Kiss From Moet" [humorous paranormal romance]; "Angelique Rising" [humorous dark thriller romance]; and "The Liar Charms" [humorous new adult thriller], all available on Kindle for Amazon.
