The Body
review 1: I really enjoyed this. Seneca and Max were great! I am utterly intrigued by the shifters that are aliens. The whole concept was pretty cool. I mean the aliens take our DNA and wear humans like a suit ( or not? they use our DNA and after a couple of days become that human). The book starts out with Seneca and her partner Riley staking out a shifter and things go from bad to worse. Max has his own agenda and this finding the traitor and murdering shifter who killed his wife. So he uses what connections he has to which to become an agent and works with Seneca. Lets just say that they have a very rough start. Seneca hates shifters with a passion and she lets it be known to Max often. Max is so sick and tired of being judged and yet he will put up with everyone's crap to get w... morehat he wants. There is a lot of mistrust and a lot of sexual hunger. But I loved that they didn't hook up right away. The baddie shifter was truly bad and yet it was kinda funny that would try and act all refined. Lots of action going on and there wasn't any serious mystery or anything but I loved how everything was played out. Max really fought till the end. I mean you think will he leave her and get his revenge or??
review 2: So the title and the cover art for this book are a little deceiving. At first glance, it could easily be mistaken for, how do I put this delicately...well, porn. But this book actually had somewhat of a developed plot. It was a bit underdeveloped in some areas - for instance, there definitely could have been more details about the aliens and what they actually looked like and the characters were fairly one dimensional at times - but I was pleasantly surprised by the story line and the character's snarkiness. Mind you, I wasn't expecting much to begin with so imagine my surprise when it turned out to be a bit of a page turner. It reminded me of Alien Nation (anyone besides me old enough to remember that?) except the human cop is a chick and the alien dude is hot (i.e. hair and no weird spots on his head). less

DNF for now. Just not feeling the heroine. Something about her just irks the hell out of me.

I liked C.J Barry's first series and this one promises to be another one to follow.
