Blurb:
Seventeen year old Angie is beyond ecstatic for her
eighteenth birthday with the promise of getting a car for her special day.
Unbeknownst to her, life as she knew it would quickly change with the arrival
of the unidentified ships floating in the air.
What are they? Who are they? What do they want?
Will she get answers to her questions before time runs out?
My Review:
Seventeen-year-old Angie can’t wait to celebrate her
eighteenth birth with her best friend Stacey. Angie is hoping that her Mom will
get her a car for her birthday. Angie and Stacey are making plans for her
birthday when they learn of these big spaceships hovering overhead. Everyone is
scared and the TV tells everyone to stay indoors.
Angie’s and Stacey’s Mom’s make a run into town to stock up
on food and to buy whatever supplies they may need as they have no idea how
long they may have to stay indoors and keep the doors locked and not to let anyone
in. Angie and Stacey are getting worried about their Moms when they don’t
return in a couple of hours and are discussing what they should do when Angie’s
ex-boyfriend John shows up on her door step to check on her. The party gets even
bigger when her next door neighbor and his hot nephew show up on her door step
checking on them as well.
Stacey’s Dad works at Area 51 so everyone figures if they
can make it there they can find out more information on what is going on and why
aliens have landed on Earth. Angie, Stacey, John, Max and his Uncle all head
out to Area 51. The trip a head of them will a long and dangerous with the aliens
out there. They will have to avoid them at all cost if they are going to make
it out alive.
Arrived with all the aliens and the big spaceships hovering
ove head will keep you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what is going
to happen next. It is filled with action and excitement on every page from
beginning to end.
As with all of Kathy’s books you feel as if you are right
there with all the characters seeing and feeling what they do. Arrived will have
you racing through it and seeing it all in your head. With each and every book
of Kathy’s that I have read they just seem to get better and better. The world
building in Arrived is out of this world amazing. The ending left me wanting
more but that is what a good book does. Good thing I have the next book World
at War waiting for me.
I would highly recommend Arrived to all fans of science
fiction, aliens and anyone who likes movies like World at War or Battle: Los
Angeles.

Blurb:
The Aliens are highly intelligent, they are brutal and they
will stop at nothing until all the human race is extinct.
They will kill everything they touch, everything that stands
in their way.
Angie and her friends are hiding in an underground military
base located in Texas trying to stay alive in the shadows, while the military
scientists try their hardest to make a breakthrough with the Aliens' protective
barrier, and while Max is fighting a war of man against extraterrestrials that
are more intelligent than we are.
Can the human race survive an unending war? Or will they
soon cease to exist?
My Review:
World at War takes place a few months after the first book
Arrived left off with Angie, Stacey and John having found safety in an
underground booker while Max is out fight the aliens trying to make the world
safe again for humans if that is even possible.
These aliens that have invaded the Earth are very intelligent
and strong. A group of scientist at the booker is working on creating a weapon
that hopefully will kill the aliens. The aliens are working on taking over the
Earth and the humans. Anything the aliens touch just seems to dry up and turn
to dust.
Angie receives news that Max and another soldier has gone
missing. The military believes they are dead but not Angie. She can’t rest or
move on without some kind of proof. Angie along with her friends Stacey, John
and Kit all set out to find Max or what happened to him. Angie doesn’t understand
how the military can just give up without even looking for them.
When Angie and her friends reach the surface they see with
their own eyes what the aliens have been up to and what it has cost the Earth.
They witness first hand just how smart these aliens truly are and what they are
capable of. Even with all of this new info on the aliens it still does not
deter Angie from her mission of finding Max the one she loves.
Angie also has a thing for Kit as well. Both men have
feelings for Angie. Not only do Max and Kit have feelings for Angie but John
feels something for her too. Oh yeah the hormones are flying. Some are mature
about it but others are not so mature about it though which results in some
chest beating.
War at World is a fast paced read that will keep you on the
edge of your seat flipping the pages racing along trying to figure out what the
aliens are going to do next and surprising you on occasion with what they are
capable of doing but the humans will surprise you as well. War at World is a
very intense read that will keep you engrossed with all of the aliens and excitement
wondering what they are up to and why they are here. Why have the aliens invaded
Earth? What do they want? Why are they here?
I would recommend World at War to all fans of science
fiction and aliens with a little love story on the side. World at War is an amazing
brilliantly written story. I can’t wait to know more of Angie, Stacey, the
aliens and the rest of the crew’s stories.
