Oh man, this series just keeps getting more and more interesting! This one is by far my favorite with the Rachel's character being really interesting and the things she goes through being realistic even though this book has aliens in it. 
I like how these books don't really hold back, they are extremely dark and violent for kids books with limbs being cut off multiple times throughout the novel. 
These books feel like episodes in a series with so much stuff going on and yet barely any actual progress, I love it! Can't wait to read the next book in the series, the first Megamorphs.
