Very seldom does a book make me stay up most of the night to reach the ending like this one did. Normally, I only stay up late in writing when the story is really flowing. All I can say right off is "WOW" Anne Ferretti's The Harvest kept me locked into reading most of the night. It took hold of me and I had to even read while eating my dinner. LOL! If I could have given this book six stars, I would have. Great writing and great story for those that love this kind of book. Now for the review-
A government top-secret program takes an unexpected turn
when Aliens us it to come to Earth. Feeding on human organs and their blood,
these creatures are unstoppable by human weapons. The author by her writing
places you there making you feel their emotions, including their sorrows,
hatred, utter confusion on what is going on and despair. I found myself
cheering on the small band that is trying to stay alive and stop the killing of
their fellow humans while trying to find lost loved ones.
Main Characters are-
Captain Austin Reynolds. U.S. Marines commando commander in
search of his wife (Jenni) and his son(Ryan) taken by the aliens. He has the
skills to keep the others alive in his group while avoiding falling in love
with one of them. Revenge and the search for his family is his driving force.
One of his secret weapons was a creature called Eve that saved his life when he
was nine. She kept showing him glimpses of the future.
Lieutenant Madison
Capra the tough cop that worked her way up to lieutenant. She doesn’t take crap
from anyone but ends up falling in love with Austin even though she knows she
has no chance of him returning the love, his family was all that mattered to
him. Tough enough to survive on her own until she meets Austin and Luke joining
with them to rid the world of this new terror.
Luke, the football quarterback that finds surviving in the
new world harder than quarterbacking a team on the field. He depends on Austin
to keep him alive and to teach him how to survive.
Zack, the intelligent one that made a fortune when marijuana
was legalized in Colorado. Thinking he was no more than a drug dealer, Austin
at first has no use for him but soon learns Zack has talents that he kept
hidden.
Edward, the tax accountant joins the team after being
prisoner of a gang of teenage hoodlums that think they can do anything they
want including sacrificing humans so the Aliens would leave them alone.
Eve, the alien creature that kept Austin alive not knowing
why he was important to her but would speak to Austin in his head for him to
rescue her from captivity by a crazed General. She had one downfall, she
existed by living on human blood.
I will highly recommend this book to readers all over the
world that likes to get lost in a book that will keep their attention from
beginning to the end.
