 Brady and Cam are trying to live a normal life back on Earth but the military is always breathing down their necks, waiting for something. That something comes in the form of their telepathic connection reforming with each other and with The Faceless.
I felt this book was pretty slow. There wasn’t a lot happening at all until the last 30% of the book. Which to be fair, that was kind of what happened in book 1 too, but at least in book 1 you have 70% relationship building. This book was a lot of rehashing of book 1 and repetitive characterization and memories. Lisa Henry can write an exciting climax but by the time I got there I was just ready to be done. I also had very little interest in the telepathic connection being formed with so many, especially Chris. I have little tolerance for ex drama. This ends on a cliffhanger but I don’t think I’ll read book 3. The alien lost its scary appeal and just came out kind of flat here. There was in general a real loss of momentum and possibly just no need to continue this story beyond book 1.
