Starflight by Melissa Landers

Starflight

Synopsis:
Solara Brooks needs a fresh start, someplace where nobody cares about the engine grease beneath her fingernails or the felony tattoos across her knuckles. The outer realm may be lawless, but it's not like the law has ever been on her side. Still, off-world travel doesn't come cheap; Solara is left with no choice but to indenture herself in exchange for passage to the outer realm. She just wishes it could have been to anyone besides Doran Spaulding, the rich, pretty-boy quarterback who made her life miserable in school.

The tables suddenly turn, though, when Doran is framed for conspiracy on Earth, and Solara cons him into playing the role of her servant onboard the Banshee, a ship manned by an eccentric crew with their own secrets. It's been a long time since Solara has believed in anyone, and Doran is the last person she expected to trust. But when the Banshee's dangerous enemies catch up with them, Solara and Doran must come together to protect the ship that has become their home and the crew that feels like family.

Review:
YA never fails to surprise me! I loved the pace of the plot, not too slow, not too fast, but a nice steady pace that slowly built up tension. I feel like the action scenes were well spaced out throughout the book and not all at once so you don't overdose or get bored.

Character wise I loved Solara's and Doran's bickering, it got a giggle or two out of me. I have mixed feelings about Solora seeing that she's somewhat of a hypocrite but at the same time she's also remorseful and try's to grow over time and not all at once which makes her relatable. 

I actually really liked the fact that Doran was this little naive spoiled rich kid that didn't change his ways overnight because I appreciated his character growth and the realization of his wrong doings. I could grow to truly like him as a character. 

The plot twist blew my fucking mind!!! So with that being said I 100% recommend this book and I'm more than excited to read the next book.
