A sci-fi/fantasy series starter filled with plenty of steam and satisfying twists! When mysterious strangers appear at her daughter’s birthday party, Valerie uncovers the shocking truth about her life: She and six-year-old Charlotte aren’t human at all…

Valerie's daughter Charlotte is celebrating her sixth birthday and she's loving it. Presents, games, and cake! For Valerie, it's not that simple. Being with her ex-husband and his new wife is always a strain, but not as hard as finding out that you're not who you think you are.

When a group of mysterious men unexpectedly show up at the party, suddenly Valerie's whole life feels like a lie. Why do they look so familiar? Why do they act like they know her? Stranger yet, why do they have the same startling green eyes as Charlotte?

Catapulted into a world she doesn't remember, Valerie needs to trust these strangers to help save her daughter and herself from a terrible fate. She and Charlotte are pure-bloods, the only chance for an alien race on the brink of extinction.

On the run and hunted, her enemies will not rest until they have them in their clutches. But as her memories return, can Valerie tap into the powers she didn't even know she possessed and save their lives?


Make Me Exist is the first book of a four part saga. A heart-pounding sci-fi adventure, with just the right amount of romance, that will keep you riveted to your seat in a journey of mind twisting awakenings.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A+++ read from a wonderful new author to watch!!! one of the best books I've read in a while. There were so many times I thought I knew exactly what was going to happen to find out I was way off! I couldn't put the book down and have been eagerly anticipating the publication of the next one."

"A great science fiction adventure with lovely prose! A marvellous job of creating a fascinating alien race and believable characters you can't help rooting for. There are epic battles, gut-wrenching moments, and a bad guy you want to smack in the face on more than one occasion."

"Epic Adventure! They should make it a movie!! I couldn't put this book down! An amazing mixture of action, adventure, romance, violence, time travel, and pure brilliant imagination. I love how the main character is brutally honest in both her inner dialogue and when she is interacting with those around her."

"Grab a bottle of wine and plan for some quality couch time...you won't want to put this down! Cyran is a brilliantly thought through, strong female lead who doesn't sit around waiting for someone to save her."

"I'm totally blown a blend of science fiction and fantasy that in its pages weaves a story of motherhood and community bonding."

"Sci-fi/fantasy/romance blend! Absolutely shocked! Such an amazing book! The writing is beautiful, the characters are well thought out, the plot is so unexpected!!"
"Brittany Ziegler writes as though she's been at it for decades, and it almost feels like we've been deprived of her great work until this, her debut. She has all the makings of your next favorite storyteller: she develops characters you love to follow and learn about, and she puts them into incredible scenarios and circumstances. It will captivate you. And despite the wild ride it starts off on, there's a realness that envelops it as well. Ziegler excels at writing a science fiction with characters you want to root for, epic action, and heartfelt emotional moments that wrap everything together. --Michael DeAngelo, The Tellest Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read!
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2020

Despite being a huge lover of fantasy, sci-fi is a genre that I’ve tended to stay away from in the past. I’ve never really been a fan of films like Star Wars, and for some reason I just had it in my mind that all sci-fi fiction would be too technical, too complex and too ‘out there’ for me to really get on board with. Because of those reasons – and what a terribly misguided opinion to have! – Make Me Exist isn’t the type of book that I would typically reach for, but it is one that I can say with certainty now that I’m so glad I took a chance on and gave a read!

In many ways Make Me Exisit reminds me of a mix between Captain Marvel and Stephenie Meyer’s The Host, but it is a lot more than that, too. It deals with some incredibly serious and difficult topics – TW for sexual violence, so please be aware before reading - but they are so carefully handled by Ziegler, and never feel as if they are included for any added drama or to tick any boxes. Instead they really help build a complex and nuanced picture of our protagonist Cyran, who I absolutely loved. She was so strong and independent, and through all the challenges that she faced throughout the novel – and boy, were there many – I really admired her grit and determination. I’m not sure that I would have been quite as strong, had I found myself in her situation!

I don’t want to give too much away in terms of plot, because it really is a thrill-a-minute that will have you hooked from the very first chapter. Not only is the premise so unique and different to anything I’ve read before, but all of the characters were absolutely fantastic to read about, and I’m already longing to be reunited with them again! Extremely well written, action-packed and utterly captivating from start to finish, I’m so glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone and gave Make Me Exist a try. If you’re looking for something fun and fast-paced to devour in one sitting, regardless of your favoured genre, then I cannot recommend it highly enough – fantastic!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wanted to love it

Yeah, this one is a book that I really wanted to like. The concept sounded intriguing to me and I could see that it was the sort of story that I could get into however, the execution was way off and I found it hard to get into and follow. I had so many questions in my head that it was like a puzzle and not in the way that you expect or want when reading, it was more out of frustration.
The back stories are not really there and the characters are a bit plain.
I'm sure the book can be saved although that needs to be done very soon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs an editor to focus on the plot

Make Me Exist by Brittany Ziegler is a complicated book to read. It had a few good and intriguing ingredients but then there is no backstory, no explanation provided for the big twist (how or why did it happen is simply non-existent). It mixes sci-fi with erotica in a very unexpected way, just for the sake of having sex scenes. It feels poorly thought and even worst executed. It needs an editor desperately to help the author focus.

This book by Brittany Ziegler is a sci-fi romance novel that revolves around Valerie, a single mother, and her daughter Charlotte. Being the purebloods, Valerie and Charlotte are chased by aliens since Valerie and Charlotte are their only way to escape from extinction. But a group of strangers help Valerie and Charlotte to save their lives, will they succeed? 
Brittany has done a great job in writing, adopting a plain and simple yet emotional language that makes the reader “feel” the book. She has done an excellent job in hooking the reader to the book, building the tension subtly and smoothly, page by page. Once you’re through the first few pages it’s almost impossible to put it down, until you find the end. Brittany has done guessing the end impossible owing to the number of beautiful plot twists that she has used, and that makes “Make Me Exist” even more exciting!

2.0 out of 5 stars I think I still don't get it
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2022

I struggled with this book from the very beginning. The reader is thrown out into two divorced parents celebrating her daughter’s birthday when everything takes a twist. A twist so unexpected and bizarre that it ends up incomprehensible to the reader. As you laboriously crawl through the pages, attempting to reach the paragraph in which the author explains this sci-fi mess, sex appears out of the blue. I understand the author’s intention of mixing sci-fi with a little bit of erotica, but the result did not pay off. Not my cup of tea; it read like a draft, and it was hard to understand.

Make Me Exist is an exceptional story that transports it's reader to another time and place making it hard to put this book down!! The characters are all well thought out and the author has really hit the nail on the head when it comes to their chemistry. The authors impressive use of symbolism and description really makes the reader feel they are right there, feeling the characters emotions and seeing the beautiful landscapes that the plot is happening in. This book is perfect for a motion picture and I am eager to see what path this series leads down - both for the story and the success for the author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Choice is difficult
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2022

We don’t always choose what we want, but we can’t always say no to what we need. I think Cyran has a dilemma of what she needs versus what she wants.

I particularly liked the narrator‘s sense of self and her own identity. I think she’s a little bit different than most characters in this particular genre, which is science fiction. While she’s reluctant to self identify with anything, in a sense, her first love, her first husband, her dead husband, he’s the one who taught her not to self identify, but just to live and wander. I think that this lack of self identity makes her very interesting character.

When you feel trapped by your past and overwhelmed by the choices ahead of you, the pain of loss and identity are prevalent. I liked the detail of the ears splitting and skin cracking as the memories and sounds and thoughts deluged the character. Nicely done.

There is a lot of trauma throughout this book as well as repetition of the use of the word beautiful. Also, I think there could be a lot more development and context behind the main characters motivations. Otherwise, a fantastic read!

I enjoyed this story very much. I found the storyline quite unusual, not just the usual run of the mill stuff.
The romantic sex scenes were very erotically written which I also found unusual.
All in all, a good first book. However, Does No-one Proofread Anymore??

Started out well, with engaging characters and an intriguing premise. Introduced two cardboard cutout villains with no back story to explain the conflict. Then got bogged down with romantic conflict to provide an excuse for sex scenes that distracted from the plot. Nothing at all was resolved by the end of the book. Really can’t be bothered with a sequel.
