Battlefield #2

by J.F. Jenkins

Twelve teenagers were injected by The Doctor on that fateful day back in November. And twelve teenagers have been thrust into an intergalactic battle against their will. Orlando Holmes, JD Smith, and Cadence Sinclair must find these twelve before someone else does – someone bad.


Things get complicated quickly, though, when emotions start to run high. Those who used to be deemed trustworthy, are no longer safe. The three teens soon learn that anyone is a suspect. As they embark on their most dangerous mission to date, morals are tested. To protect the twelve teenagers who have been experimented on, what must JD, Orlando, and Cadence give up? Their hearts? Or even their lives?

I got this book for free from Astraea Press, in exchange for an honest review.

What I liked:

the teenagers behaved like actual teenagers

the concept of Aliens fighting a war on other planets is interesting.

Orlando’s wisecracks kept me giggling through out.

JD let out a sigh of relief. “Things got chaotic in the tunnels.
Head back to The Apartment and we can compare notes.”
“We’ll be there soon. Gonna stay back for a few minutes, ”
Orlando said, joining the conversation.
“Why?” JD asked.
“Well, we were kind of busy making out,” he deadpanned.

Alan’s insecurities made him more human..er..Alien.

What I didn't like:

the book needs editing

names of the tribes-even their individual names were so complicated but the tribes were simply named Red,Blue,Green and so on

needed a little background about the tribes-it may have been provided in the first book of the series which I haven’t read but some information about the tribes was needed in this one.

a big plot hole-cant the teenagers recognize each other by the cars they use or the clothes they wear? I mean these are teenagers, they notice such things.

The story engages you from the get go and there’s plenty of action & wisecracks to keep you reading.

I enjoy the new main character and how all of the personalities go together so well. Everyone has grown so much and I can't wait to see how the story continues.

This sequel picks up pretty much where the first book (Battlefield) left off. The romp is even better, more exciting, more intense, and the characters start to seriously rock. If you liked the first one, the sequel is equal, and how often do you hear that?
