From the Book Cover:
After helping
friend Kelsey flee the country in Life First, Susan Harper is being held
captive by the government in the thrilling sequel, Second Life. As the normally
feisty Susan’s hopes of freedom dwindle, a mysterious stranger sneaks into her
room and promises to help her.
Susan and mystery
man Rob grow close as he tries to orchestrate her escape. When the duo
discovers the truth behind Susan’s captivity, they realize she is in grave
danger, and they must act quickly. Susan and Rob will need more than passion
for each other and their wits to succeed. They will need help from old friends,
including Kelsey.
Susan gave Kelsey a
chance at a second life, but will she get her own?
My Review:
I enjoyed First Life,
and also Second Life, the sequel. I would have preferred the book to center a
little more heavily on the suspense and dystopian aspects, and a little less on
the romance, but that’s mostly a personal preference. Still, I think the romance got in the way of
the plot sometimes, and the arguments between Susan and Rob could have maybe
been trimmed.
The errors and punctuation quirks weren’t frequent or distracting
enough to detract from the story, and the writing was good.
Susan’s first few chapters really drew me in, and the story
kept me reading. I finished it faster
than any other book I’ve read recently, which is always a good sign with me.
Though Rob was a little too perfect, I really enjoyed seeing
the gray areas within the characters of Dr. Grant and Dr. Patricia Donnelly.
Second Life is an
enjoyable book, with some great tension, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes their dystopian seasoned
with a lot of romance.
