The Catalyst Book One edition by Devi Mara Paranormal Romance eBooks

I am not normally one who is drawn to extraterrestrial elements in books. However, I have really enjoyed other titles by the author, and the synopsis seemed interesting. I am glad I did take a chance. I really enjoyed this book. Many twists in plot and good character development. Unusual premis that is well written. I fully intend to read the next installment.

The Catalyst Book One edition by Devi Mara Paranormal Romance eBooks Reviews

I found the beginning gripping and couldn't wait to find out more! Then it turned into a different kind of story. It was disjointed and depressing. Many things aren't explained so you are left just as confused as the heroine. The romance is lacking. There was awareness and tension that didn't go anywhere. And there isn't an ending!!

I was disappointed I wasted my time.
The Catalyst is a dazzling, science-y, SFR adventure, full of kinetic excitement, that never retreats to formula. I could not put this book down. The beginning was a slow build on the science side, but never boring; I anticipated each new day of the DNA experiment. The middle and end were full of plot twists and menace. The romance was a compelling factor, but divided loyalties on behalf of the main characters influenced actions to an unexpected degree. The sensuousness is on the tame side, while the characters really are not.

Robin is a genius, and her demeanor starts out clinical and cold. Her gradual warming to her DNA experiment that is a "he" is engrossing. I have read hundreds of SFR books, and the progression of this "romance" was one of the most unusual that I have read. No quick leaps to lust or love. The romance is more a growing regard that begins to show shades of attraction. Remember, the very smart Robin is dealing with extra-terrestrial DNA, and she doesn't forget it for a minute.

I also have to say a few words about the author's settings. Mara can really put together a place and a scene through her words. This book runs the gamut from university science buildings to Robin's apartment to seedy bars and rural Illinois fields in winter. I could literally feel the cold she described and hear the rustling dead cornstalks. Plus, I have to do a shout-out to her inclusion of Mississippi river town Quincy, Illinois. I've been there, with its incredible historic mansions, and how she describes Robin's trek through the town was fascinating.

I was a little frustrated that the reviews were so few and so....spare...., but after reading the book, it really would ruin the suspense for future readers to reveal the slightest details regarding the direction of the plot and the results of the DNA experiment. Devi Mara keeps you guessing from chapter to chapter and the book goes on an extensive journey of emotion, plot and setting. The Catalyst interested me so much that I wanted to be challenged even more regarding the ethics dilemmas that cropped up at the beginning and then again at the end of the book. The conclusion really was audacious, and did not arrive at any simple victory or revelatory conclusion. The end was a glorious mess in the best possible of ways without being a cliffhanger. And since the title says "Book One," I much anticipate "Book Two."
Not sure I would even categorize the book as a romance as there only shades of it in the story. But it is a compelling one. While I recommend this book for readers looking for an exciting read, it likely would not hold the attention for those looking for a classic romance. There is not a lot of depth build into the relationship of the two main characters which makes one question how/if could work out. Motivation on the part of the aliens seemed questionable once it was finally revealed - launching a worldwide takeover of a planet just to trade it was questionable. That would presumably be a costly undertaking no matter how easy without an immediate gain - i.e. slaves, women, or some precious compounds that is abundant here.
Neither sci fi nor fantasy. Premise absurd and full of contradictions.Ensure that has a return policy,as i am certain return of funds for this trash will be requested.I must admit however that Part1 showed promise, but few pages into part 2 and i started laughing, shaking my head and stopped reading
Interesting very odd book . But I did enjoy it
Devi Mara does a great job of drawing you in to this story, making her characters likeable, fallible, vulnerable and relatable - and the story irresistible! Plenty of twists and turns keep the story moving. Can't wait for the second book!
I really enjoyed this book. Different storyline than the usual sci fi romance. Very interesting. Good writing. Near constant tension awaiting to read what will happen next in general and between the main characters. Nice romance. Highly recommend
