Review: Containment

Containment by Caryn Lix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am so sad to say that this one was not as good as the first. But the ending made up for it!! This is a full 4 star book in my eyes. It picked up a few weeks after the ending of the first book and things got real!! I did like that the author split the kids up because that was a ton of people trying to keep track of. Most of them we didn't even know their name so this really worked out as a benefit. It made the cast of characters at lost more manageable. And well ya know as far as we know they are all still alive. So if need be they could maybe pop back up later.

This one has us going to four locations. Unlike book one where we were pretty much on Sanctuary this one were on the alien ship, Mars, another station, and another planet. This travel worked out well. It kept the story going and made it not stagnant at all. Although I did feel that parts of the story were unneeded for the most part everything was great.

Characters especially Kenzie go through beginning stages of full on PTSD. Which made this story feel very real. I mean you have a bunch of kids that are older teens going through seeing people being ripped apart. Kenzie has lost her mom and friends and now the aliens that she thought she escaped are back and stronger than ever.

This one is another story that of course ends on a cliffhanger really Lix you are killing me!!!! And at this point we don't know who has survived and who hasn't and I am like dying here!!!!


Go Into This One Knowing: PTSD, Aliens, Superpowers
