My Review:

I'll preface this to say that I didn't read book one (only because I haven't had time, but I did read a few of the first chapters). Because I knew what book one was about overall, I knew what I was getting into (minus how we got there) with the sequel.

I can completely understand why some people might be a bit hesitant to read a story about genetics and how that can go sideways, but let me just stop you and say, you HAVE to read this story. It's SO infused with the Christian faith and beliefs that you'll understand how important it is.

Ok, that being said, it's not hard to imagine how our world could potentially get to a place where scientists are doing what's being done in this story. This is humanity we're talking about after all. We're not always known for making the best or right decisions. Well, creating human beings so that they can be used to heal or extend the life of a loved one by "harvesting" what is needed is abominable and that's what the main characters in this story are battling.

We get quite a few perspectives throughout the story, which turns out to be a good thing. It was an easy way to keep track of all of the characters who were in different places, but were relevant to the story. Ellen and Luke are working to free all of the children from Grindland after a successful escape of L2. Mamie & Liza (L2) set out on a journey to protect her and keep her safe as Dr. Lyons & her estranged husband, Brent, hunt them down! We also get both the doctor's and Brent's perspectives throughout the story. Let me say that those are both chilling!

This story is SO very faith filled. The characters know that for them to succeed in rescuing the children and putting a stop to what's happening at Grindland, God is going to have to move in mighty ways. The characters pray frequently, Mamie teaches Liza about Jesus, Luke and Ellen start attending church. Meanwhile, Brent is maniacal in his efforts to find Mamie. At one point in the search he has the "opportunity" to read a book by Lee Strobel. IYKYK! We also get to see how twisted Dr. Lyons mind is.

I will say that the book was hard to put down. It was definitely a nail biter, and it makes me want to go back and finish book one to see how Ellen ended up coming to faith and began to see what was truly going on at the company!
