Containment by Caryn Lix

4.0

Kenzie and her friends have - barely - escaped the aliens who took down Sanctuary. Now they need a new plan. Because an alien beacon is calling their race to the solar system, and if they gain a foothold, they'll be unstoppable.


It's a while since I read Sanctuary, but there's enough backstory and explanations sprinkled in here that I remembered who everyone was and what the important events were. This is a fast paced story; it gets a little repetitive in the middle, but the ending makes up for it, and I'm excited to see what happens in the third volume. A great read for anyone into sci fi or action/adventure.


More of the creatures must have attacked. They weren’t even bothering with subtlety now. They were literally tearing the ship apart in an effort to destroy every last one of us. And from there—what?

Mars was closest. But Earth was undoubtably next.

I pictured everyone I’d left behind, Anya and my cousins and Jasper’s family, and my blood ran cold.
