Hatch by Kenneth Oppel
5.0
My oh my. I am so glad I read Bloom a couple months ago and then Hatch released to NetGalley this past month. If you've read Bloom, then you know how intense and on-your-toes you felt. Well, take that times fifty and you've got Hatch!
At the end of Bloom you were left wondering what was in these raindrops that started to hatch. At the start of Hatch, we get another fast-forward chapter where you are reading and you're super confused, but then when you finish it tells you that this is what happened two weeks later. Then you pick back up on the ending scene from Bloom.
Anaya, Petra, and Seth are immune to the plants and the chemicals they put off into the air, but as this rain starts yet again the worst is yet to come. The rain brings eggs, eggs that hatch into crypotgen insects? I am talking a full variety of species of insects—flying insects, insects with razor sharp spinning teeth, and insects that like to eat the other insects. Soon the government figures out their little secret and they are shipped off to who-knows-where. In this facility they are unsure what the government thinks of them, if they will ever get to see their families again, and what their purpose of being there is when the world is yet again about to wreak havoc.
I, of course, do not want to share everything, but just know that this was TRULY an edge-of-your-seat sequel to Bloom. Things escalate quickly and you will not be able to stop flipping the pages. I could not put it down nor step away.
P.S. AGAIN, you will be left HANGING at the end of this one. Ugh! Kenneth Oppel is too good and I already cannot wait for Thrive, the final of the trilogy, to be here!
