Generation 18

Generation 18: The Spook Squad 2 by Keri Arthur
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I received this for an honest review.

Three months after Sethanon's bomb blast and the death of her partner Samantha now works for SIU. With none other than Gabriel as a partner, knowing full well death comes in threes the last person he wants is her. At least in the work sense. Gabriel recognizes the bond awakening between them and works steadily to shut it down, not willing to go down that road ever again. All work and no play make Sam a cranky girl! So pissed off that her partner is not only trying to force her hand towards a transfer but has also shut her out on all levels, girl can’t even get a friendly cup of coffee. 10 years as a state officer has created a desire to not only research the bad guys but to go out there and haul their asses in as well and she damn well can’t do that if she’s stuck in her office doing mundane tasks.

Fate seems to be in her favor when a chance encounter with a “kite” leads her into more action than she dared ask for. Watching the kite stalk it’s carefully selected prey was all the insight she needed to recognize it was no random kill. Nope he was the first of many deaths to follow in the days ahead. Everybody killed is tied to Hopeworth a top government funded research facility that liked to experiment with genetics to make nonhuman wepons. With reoccurring dreams of a man who riddles me this and that Sam moves forward to really try to figure out who and what she is. When she decides to finally take a leap and look up the names on the birth certificate she realizes they are affiliated with Hopeworth. Maybe that can explain why the thundering storms not only call to her but empower her. So much for being human.

The twists and turns of the plot in this book were fantastic. So many players in this murder mystery like others written by Keri Arthur the story has so many angles to work. This isn’t like other genetically mutated paranormal books. It has way more detail like the inventive drugs being used, or the technology incorporated. This world Keri Arthur has created is so detailed nothing has been left out. I crave that shit! With every book comes more warped, menacing characters, and every time the heroes step there game up a little more. What this series lacks in bedroom play it makes up for in creative plot twists. If you want a fast paced murder mystery that has genetic monsters you have a winner right here. Just sprinkle on some serial killers, sexual tension, and evil that won’t quit.
