Review: Seth and Evan are getting used to life with a newborn in addition to their responsibilities to the Agency. Seth even goes so far as to set up a support group for other abductees so they will have a safe environment to tell their stories. It’s at one of these meetings he meets Cooper, a man in a situation eerily similar to Seth’s.

Cooper met his partner Dr. Micah Levi at the hospital they both worked out. After a year of dating the decided to take a trip and stopped off at a campsite to… let’s just say have a little fun. Sound familiar? Cooper and Micah’s outing is very reminiscent to Seth and Evan’s, when they were abducted.

And now months later, Cooper has taken ill and continues to gain weight, even when he doesn’t eat. What’s worse is his lover has become emotionally and verbally abusive. Can Seth and Even help this couple figure out what has happened to them? To find their way back to each other?

This book as with the other books in the series is very descriptive about exactly what is taking place when the people are abducted. It’s horrific and a bit gruesome. My issue is the stories are disjointed, they don’t flow well.

And I am all for a conspiracy theory but I found it very hard to suspend belief while I was reading, the author didn’t sell me on the abduction and M-preg aspect of the story. The addition of Cooper and Micah while probably meant to collaborate what happened with Seth and Evan felt forced and I was having enough trouble staying interested in the original characters story.

I just didn’t care much for this book and I probably won’t read anymore in this series.

Sorry guys.

Review: Evan and Seth are settling into a more comfortable space with their relationship after a rocky start. But Seth has been sick, easily agitated, and moody as of late. To say they are shocked to learn Seth is pregnant is an understatement, now to just figure out exactly how this happened. A memory of what Seth thought was a dream brings the truth behind his pregnancy rushing back, right before he goes into labor.

I have to say I really enjoy the slightly twilight zone aspect to this series. Alien abductions, M-preg, things that go bump in the night. And this story was more cohesive than the first giving the reader a nauseating glimpse into Seth’s abduction and how he came to be with child. Very disturbing that the alien’s are described, in my mind at least, as the rabbit in Donnie Darco.

The descriptives in this story are vivid and as a said, disturbing, but the way Holbrand has tied everything together with the first story was intriguing. While I have some issues with M-preg, it is explained in a way that is marginally believable, in an X-files sort of way. Evan and Seth’s reaction and quick acceptance was a little unrealistic as well, even in this farfetched reality.

This was still just an okay read for me as was the first installment, but the flow of the story was more cohesive and the writing wasn’t all over the place. I am intrigued to see how this all comes together and where Evan and Seth will land when it’s all said and done. So I’ll be grabbing a copy of book 3 when it comes out.
