"This is friends-to-lovers romance…but it's in the science-fiction story line where Cole really shines. The setup of Mixed Signals seems eerily plausible, and the entwined love story will satisfy sci-fi and romance readers alike."—New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean, Washington Journal, Best Romances of November 2015 Four years after the Flare, the world is finally starting to rebuild For Maggie Seong, that means leaving the safety of her family's cabin for college. She won't be alone, though—hunky former military cadet Edwin Hernandez, family friend and self-appointed Protector of Maggie's Virtue, will be there. Maggie would much prefer that Edwin himself dispose of her "innocence," but he's already rejected her advances once, and a girl has her pride. Things look pretty bleak romance-wise until Maggie discovers that Devon, the pre-Flare internet boyfriend she'd assumed was dead, is not only alive but on campus. Despite the passage of time, their bond is strong, and they quickly pick up where they left off. Even as Devon aims for a chance at love IRL—everything Maggie thought she'd wanted—Edwin's desire to protect her makes her question her heart. Maggie's torn between the future she didn't dare to hope for and the past she can't let go of. And when a group of neo-Luddite terrorists threaten the campus, everyone's loyalties will be tested. To ensure that the world doesn't go back to the dark days following the Flare, Maggie might have to sacrifice it all. Book three of Off the Grid.

I still haven’t read the first, but I reviewed (and enjoyed) the second book here. It’s been a few years since the Flare knocked out all the electricity. Long enough for small power grids to come back on. Long enough for Maggie, the youngest Seong sibling, to get her GED, learn to play the guitar really well, and head off to college.As the story opens, Maggie is chopping off all of her hair. It’s been her most complimented feature, and she hid behind it a lot. Now that she’s going away to college, she’s ready for a new, more powerful identity.Her brother’s friend Edwin is driving her there. Maggie has had kind of a crush on Edwin for a while, but he rejected her, so she’s working on getting over it.“I didn’t want to be that creep, fawning over someone with the hopes that one day I’d beat them into submission and they’d settle for me. What kind of love song would that make? ‘It only took ten years, of you living in fear, but finally you’re mine, baby, please stop crying…’”Maggie has the Seong sarcasm down. When a girl in the dorm assumes that Maggie loves anime because she’s Korean, Maggie says, “Okay. Am I supposed to ask you for the mayonnaise-based recipes of your people now?” I could fill this whole review with Maggie quotes. She’s tough. She’s adapting. She’s learning to use her words.On her first day in the dorm, Maggie runs into Devon, the internet boyfriend she never met in person whom she thought was dead. Yeah, that’s a lot of emotional drama right there, and it kicked me in the gut. It’s like her teenage fantasy come to life, and then he kisses her. She takes a moment to swoon, but then it’s back to using her words, trying to find out what happened to him.Don’t worry, Maggie doesn’t spend all of her time torn between Devon and Edwin. She’s more focused on finding her way in the world. She gets a job, she writes songs, and she texts her family members. She spends time with both guys and discovers qualities that she values in a person. She is also always on guard, well aware that there are power-tripping, smarmy, objectifying men all around her.The author blends in some of what’s happening in the rest of the country, too. Maggie’s brother John and his boyfriend Mikael are helping to restore the power grid, but they stop by the cafeteria to tease her about boys and also give her lots of moral support. Edwin works with campus security, and Devon meets up with an environmental group that thinks that going back to the old system is a bad idea. It’s an interesting peek into what-ifs, but it doesn’t detract from the main story about Maggie.This was a fun book with a great narrator. It manages to sustain the post-apocalyptic setting while allowing for progress in the world, and it features a smart, kick-ass heroine.Rating: B+*ARC provided by publisherThis review was originally posted on Red Hot Books at: http://redhotbooks.com/2015/10/review-mixed-signals-by-alyssa-cole.html

Full disclosure, I did not read the first two books in this series. Whilst it is fine to read this book as a standalone, it is recommended to read the first two books as there are references to previous events and characters.Maggie Seong is a lucky girl. She survived the Flare with her family intact. In addition, her family increases as her brothers get married. Now that things are settling down, her parents are urging her to explore the world by getting the college experience. Maggie is resistant to going off to college. This is not hard to understand as the past four years have been a fight to survive. The safety of her family and home is not something Maggie is willing to leave, just to see more of the world.Fortunately, Maggie doesn't go off to school by herself. Edwin Hernandez takes her to college because he is also going to school there. With the States trying to rebuild, college campuses are key to bringing the power grid back up as well as train the minds of their future… young impressionable college students.I am mixed about this book. I liked the concept. I also liked a couple of the characters. Maggie I could take or leave which is rough because she is the main character. She annoys me which I should have realized if I paid attention to her age. Her lack of age and maturity is not appealing to me in my older age. I'm done with foolish girls making decisions in a hissy fit. Whilst Maggie's character is appropriate for her age, I don't really care for her. She's selfish and careless with her words. Her relationship with Devon, a pre-Flare crush is toxic. But as all young girls, she needs to go through this and learn the hard way.The characters I really liked were Edwin and Danielle. Edwin is the steadfast loyal rational friend. Let me emphasize the world rational. Edwin may just be a couple of years older but he is much more responsible and more caring. Personally I think Danielle and Edwin should get together. Screw Maggie and the chip on her shoulder. Danielle is my favourite character in this book because she is a survivor. She tries hard to be a friend only to receive rejection over and over again.As a total side note and tangent, "Nihao" is not Japanese either. It's Chinese. Maggie should get her Asian languages straight. The irony of Maggie's condescension towards Danielle is amusing. Not sure if Ms. Cole does this on purpose or there was a lack in research. I'm going to hope for the former answer.Overall, this story is predictable in conflict and the villains. The only twist that moved me was Danielle's history. This new adult romance is recommended for those who enjoy dystopian stories with an interracial couple.Disclaimer: We received the book from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Maggie Seong is my favorite Seong sibling, and Mixed Signals is probably my fave in the series. :) By Chasia Lloyd I love the Seong family so much - they're open about their private lives and always making jokes, but they're intensely devoted to protecting each other, especially in the aftermath of the Flare. So of course I was excited to read the next book in the OFF THE GRID series when I saw it was going to focus on the youngest Seong sibling, Maggie. The world is slowly rebuilding itself and getting back "online", but it's nowhere near what it once was. Guitar-playing Maggie branches away from her family and goes off to college on her own to find her place in the new world - and hopefully have sex for the first time.She's got eyes for the former-military man escorting her to college, Edwin Hernandez, but he seems to treat her more like a kid than he does an adult. Then her world gets turned upside down when she discovers she is attending college with her ex-online boyfriend Devon. And Devon still has feelings for her.The love triangle is exciting enough, but I also adored Maggie's friendship with her roommate Danielle. Danielle is an artist and Japanophile, and the two girls become tight quickly. Danielle only has Maggie's best interest in her heart, and she's soooo sweet. If we could get a Danielle book, I would not be complaining at all!Maggie's goal of losing her virginity really captured my attention. She made it clear from the start she wanted to lose it under her own terms with a person she really liked, and nobody around her who knew shamed her for it. Sex positivity for the win!***e-ARC generously provided by NetGalley***
