Under the Never Sky Series by Veronica Rossi

Aria has lived her whole life in the protected dome of Reverie. Her entire world confined to its spaces, she's never thought to dream of what lies beyond its doors. So when her mother goes missing, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland long enough to find her are slim.

Then Aria meets an outsider named Perry. He's searching for someone too. He's also wild - a savage - but might be her best hope at staying alive.

If they can survive, they are each other's best hope for finding answers.

I thought this book was super cute.  I mean it was the classic boy-saves-girl-they-hate-each-other-then-they-don't story that we've all heard a thousand times.  Except this edition is in the future, so it's like a whole new concept again.

Aria's life in the dome was really cool to read about, I wish we could have stayed there longer, but because stories must move on one thing leads to another and she gets kicked out to die.  But guess what? She lives!! (otherwise this would have been a really short series)

Perry finds her and takes care of her, but they hate each other until they're attacked by cannibals...then they become besties! (whatever works right?)  They then set off into the sunset on various adventures that span 3 books and caused me A LOT of tears (especially at the end of book 2).

The Perry/Aria love connection was adorable and there was no cheesy love triangle.  But all that aside Roar was my favorite character.  He was spunky, full of life and stood up for what he believed in no matter what - even when everyone around him told him he was crazy.  I wish he would have been more of a major player, but I'm glad as a reader I got as much information about him as I did.  Normally side characters don't get as much attention as they deserve, but Roar defies the odds!!

The only thing I didn't like was Aria's unknown origins.  Her mom doesn't provide much of an explanation and her dad she simply refuses to acknowledge most of the time.  Then the book ends.

But other than my obsession to know everything in great detail (even side stories that don't really have any relevance) I can't think of anything that I really disliked about this series.  4 stars*

*I'll give 5 stars for an installment where we discuss Aria's family tree!!
