Forsaken by Michael McBride
4.0
Forsaken is book 2 of an action/adventure/paramilitary series call Unit 51 and the story picks up 6 months after the conclusion of the first. I hate giving away spoilers so I will refrain, but think James Rollins, this story is very similar in plot and action. But there might be a little more blood in McBride's novel.
I did enjoy this story, much than I did the first. It read quickly and smoothly, but the characters were kind of hard to connect with because each chapter was from the perspective of one of the main characters, so it was hard for me to really get under their skin, thus get to know them.
(It was probably a good thing I didn't look back at my review of the first book because I might not have looked twice at this one, (or the third which the ARC is waiting for me). But I still wonder if the reason why I enjoyed this book more was because I read it instead of having the kindle read it too me.)
Anyways, if you like James Rollins, action, adventure, military with some blood and guts and monsters, then this would be a series for you to try. But because of the blood and violence I would only recommend it to mature readers over 16 years of age.
I give this book 4 stars.
