Description/Synopsis:
It was a normal day, until Morgan and every other kid in her high school were sucked aboard an alien spaceship and dumped on an entirely new planet. No explanation, no field guide, and no rules.
And human beings aren’t the only new arrivals.
Morgan’s never been a team player, and she never imagined facing disaster with a bunch of confused, terrified teenagers. To live she’ll have to make allies—human and otherwise.
Because Morgan has no intention of settling down and starting anew somewhere else. Whoever brought her here can bring her back. But first, she must survive.

Colonize by S.G. Seabourne was a fantastic twist on the Young Adult Dystopian genre. The book was a nice mix of adventure, action, and dystopian, with a pinch of Young Adult Romance thrown in for good measure.
Though I ran across multiple typos, for the most part, these were small and easy to skip over. Overall, the book was well-written. I loved the characters, what little we got to know of most of them, and the world-building was imaginative and interesting. I was engaged by the plot and particularly the budding friendship between Al and Morgan.
My only real qualm is that the book ended too abruptly. It felt unfinished and the plot arch went uncompleted. Still, I really enjoyed the book and I’m glad to have read it. I am looking forward to reading more in the series, and by this author.
