review 1: I really enjoyed this book, the action was moderately paced, with some slow but nice moments. Still in love with the slowly evolving hopefully romance between Maggie and Ben. I really liked the character of Lucy, hope to see her in a future book maybe. It was so nice to see Maggie relax for maybe the first time in the series (except for that back rub in the last book). I really felt like Maggie let her walls down with Lucy and just trusted, beyond anything I have witnessed so far with Maggie. I mean even her best friend Gwen does not have the effect on her, that Lucy did. Now unto the book subject and how I felt about it. Whenever teenagers get together for a drug party, there will be trouble and even death is possible and in this case, its exactly what happened, but the... more actual what happen, is a mystery and when the survivors from the party start dying in "accidents" and suicides, there is confusion beyond words.
review 2: I've got mixed feelings about this novel. On one hand, Kava weaves a pretty complex tale of teen parties gone very wrong in Nebraska..is it aliens or government cover up? Maggie O'Dell is sent there to find out. Meanwhile, food poisoning in a school keeps Benjamin Platt on the east coast trying to determine how a mutating bacteria got into the school food supply. Government coverup or my personal theory, vegan nation's first attempt to take over the world.My beef ( heehee) with this book was that these two plot lines don't come together or even overlap. There was plenty of threads to pull on the Nebraska tale and lots of tension, action and intrigue. If anything, it ended too quickly. The whole food poisoning storyline seemed boring and unnecessary in contrast. Oh well. I'll just go toss out all my hamburger and keep watching the skies for a possible alien invasion now. less
