After finishing the fourth book in this magnificent series, I couldn’t wait for the release of the fifth, titled “Evil Among Us”. With each new release in the Species Intervention #6609 Series, my expectations keep getting higher, and as yet Accinni has not let me down. In “Evil Among Us” the suspense and intrigue builds up to breaking point and seeing as this is the second to last book in this series, I was riveted.
In keeping with the previous four books, plot twists and secrets are plentiful, although there are also several revelations. The events in this book didn’t shock me as much as some of the happenings in the previous books, but one specific character (who thankfully takes his last breath in this installment) still managed to terrify me with his presence and his strife-causing doings. It’s hard for me to imagine such evil human beings exist, but I’ve come to believe that in this day and age anything is possible. Even more so, I imagine, when chaos reigns. The Hive is certainly an interesting place to be. I was surprised at some of the reactions to certain actions, and though I was left with more questions, I’ll try to be patient while anxiously awaiting the conclusion to this hard-hitting series.
If science fiction and dystopian are your genres of choice, and if conservation is something you feel strongly about, you definitely need to get these books. This entire series (the books I’ve read so far), is written with clever insight into the dark side of human nature and the extent of greed, but also focuses on the individuals making sacrifices for the greater good. Accinni’s involvement in supporting the preservation of wildlife shows that she not only writes about what is important to her (and what should be important to all of us in preserving our heritage), but her participation in efforts to conserve proves that she is serious about the subject matter of her books. Though most of what she writes is fictional, the truths of our destructive nature cannot be ignored. For a highly intelligent read that gets you thinking, start with the first book and see why this is fast becoming such a popular series!

Evil Among Us [Book 5 in the Species intervention series]
This has been an amazing series and in this the penultimate book in the series some secrets have been revealed to the reader.
Baby and Echo have indeed been up to no good. But you will need to read it for yourself to see what they have been up to.
Seth …..What to say about him. The dark side in me would have made his end gorier but I did not write the book so I had to be content with his death.
Kenya is still pregnant and herein lies my problem with the logic of the narrative, I followed it nicely where it was explained why Kenya will remain pregnant as long as she is in the hive. Then I remembered the piglets…thank you Seth!!! And three elephants fell pregnant and birthed…. hmmm. So now I no longer understand the logic and how it is valid for one species but not for the other.
In this book the author really, really pushes the envelope against the human race and were I not too such a large degree in agreement with her regarding our continual negative impact I think I might have started to take offence at some stage during this book. My love for animals saved me from this judgment although it did cross my mind that it might be hard for others to follow. That however will only be an issue if the reader has not read the series in sequence.
The strife that Seth causes and the residual effects of his poison within the Hive was expertly done by the author as character's goes Seth is a guy I loved to hate…. and I mean Hate. Even after his death the Hive is still in upset and it worked perfectly to show how one evil influence affects everything even after it has been removed. I loved this part of the story.
Nettie … hmm her reaction to what Baby and Echo did shocked me. I am unsure as to why. It was very human and very understandable but I had come to believe that she and Will together with some of the other elders have moved on and ascended to a higher state of being. If I were in the Hive I would not have been so easy to accept her action and I would have been very weary of somebody with this much power still being ruled by her emotions.
All in all a great fast read. I would ideally give it a 4.5 star rating but since it is not an option I will go with a 5*.

The fifth in the Species Intervention #6609 Series is a heart wrenching story of the evil nature incarnate. Again J.K. Accinni has presented us with a skillful written tale where the characters gain even more depth as we follow them on their journey of adaptation to life inside the Hive.
The Hive is a good place to be, it provides for all the needs of its inhabitants, first and foremost the animals, but the humans are certainly not forgotten. As the people adjust to their new life good ánd strange things happen. A number of questions raised from the previous books are answered, but at the same time several other points raise new ones.
Relationship develop, creating all sorts of tension and jealousy. When Seth, Lorna and a fox tumble into the Hive and the fox’ mate as well as Jennifer is found just outside the entrance – tension increases and emotions run high.
The title is very apt as a lot of evil things happen not only on earth but also in the Hive, that supposedly safe haven. It is unimaginable that the Elders can be deceived or that the Womb allows them to be fooled. Yet...
The fairy tale aspect of the Hive is mostly gone – lost in the unspeakable and unthinkable actions and dire consequences that take place, culminating in the loss of animal and human life.
Most shockingly, however is the secret that Baby and Echo harbour. Not only that, the response of Netty in particular will raise some eyebrows as it did mine.
As evil is repaid with evil – something I didn’t see coming – there still is redemption if the right choice is made and forgiveness is sought.
As new mysteries appear pertaining the future of life after the Hive and with no clarity yet as far as Scotty being The One, I am impatiently waiting for the next book to come out to find out how the whole story will be wrapped up. Having come to know J.K. Accinni, no doubt it will be beautifully written and constructed with a few surprises thrown in!
P.S. And for the insiders: my favourite part is about the cake!

This is the fifth book in an amazing series! I loved it!
In the aftermath of the terrorist attack, Lorna, Jennifer and Seth are struggling to reach the Hive. They face several obstacles along the way. Meanwhile, inside the Hive, life has settled down somewhat, and Abby, Scotty, Jose, Echo, Chloe, along with Captain Cobby and his son, Kane, Peter, Ginger Mae, her daughter Daisy, Kenya, Johno, Netty, Wil and Baby, are gifted the protection of the Womb.
I found this story not as dark as the previous four books, but even so, this book has so many twists and turns I struggled to put it down! There are several revelations that shocked me, but I also found myself faced with several new questions. Such as, "What is the purpose of the Womb's delaying the birth of Kenya's baby?" and "What will the future hold for the survivors?". I am hoping that these and other questions will be answered in the sixth book, which I am now looking forward to reading! *SPOILER ALERT* I don't normally write spoilers, but in this case I have to! - I must admit that I was not sad to read about Seth's demise! He was a REALLY nasty piece of work!
On a side note: I hope that humanity will avoid anything like a nuclear war. We are the only sentient beings (that I know of!) on this planet that is causing damage to it. I am not surprised that Mother Nature is fighting back: Earthquakes, Tsunami's, Hurricanes etc. I sometimes feel that we are reaping the cosmic Karma caused by our actions and greed!
J.K. Accinni is a fantastic writer and has become one of my favourite authors. Her stories are most certainly dark, but there is compassion, and a plea to change our ways in her work. I agree with her sentiments. It is not too late, but one day it may be, and there will be no return.
I highly recommend this book (and series) if you love Sci-fi or Dystopian genres. - Lynn Worton

After reading the first four books I had a lot of expectations and this book certainly delivered.
It certainly kept you on your toes with Lorna, Seth and Jennifer arriving at the Hive, with only one of them surviving.
Then there is the love triangle that is Emma, Kane and Kenya which results in sadness.
Then whilst all of the animals are giving birth to babies Kenya is still heavily pregnant after being in the Hive for six months, only to be told that they will all remain in the Hive for a century and things will remain the same, including Kenya's pregnancy. When I read that I thought 'Oh my gosh, poor girl' Nine months is bad enough being pregnant but to be pregnant for over one hundred years? nu uh.
Then there is a blast from the past, and not in a good way. What has Baby and Echo been hiding from everyone? I was definitely surprised when I found out.
This is definitely a must read and I could see this whole series as a movie!

I can honestly say I loved it but what about Susie? Is she coming back or is she gonna die?
June 21, 2013
This book was even more amazing then the last four books in the series. And they were pretty amazing. My heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. At the excitement awaiting on the next page. As the survivors became accustomed to living everyday life within the womb. They have learned to live together as a family. Watching out for one another. Kenya's is 15 months pregnant and needing the most attention. Sharing daily chores to help everything run smooth and ensure the safety of each other and the animals trusted in their care of the hive. All types of relationships begin to form. The womb will provide and the womb does provide. The people notice their health has improved, Everyone believes the grown food is the cause of them looking and feeling much younger. The Elders, Netty and Wil, are holding secrets. They entrust Abby and Jose with the knowledge they hold. Peter brings everyone's attention to a secret, Baby and Echo hold. Some unexpecting guest find their way at the entrance of the hive. The survivors sense a disturbance and send some of the men to go check it out. They find two unrecognizable figures and a very sick fox tangled in the mucus membrane in the entrance of the cavern. Taking what they think is a women and a man, to the healing room of the womb. Soon to find out they invited a killer into their home. That's when deceit and betrayal start to happen amongst them. Trust is tested and relationships get broken. The member were becoming suspicious and wanted answers. Secrets were exposed to the group. Some not willing to except them. But needing life in the womb to slowly return to a calm presence around them. Nothing was challenged. There'll always be secrets between the Elders and the Womb.

Evil Among Us is the fifth book in the Species Intervention #6609 series. I was unable to put this one down, causing more sleep deprivation due to J.K. Accinni's brilliant writing.
Living in the hive, the group slowly changes. Their life revolves around each other and the animals. They regain their youth, their health, and become (for the most part) content in their situation. However, all is not what it seems and the rescue of Seth, Lorna, and Jennifer sets off a chain reaction that threatens everyone's safety...
Accinni's writing is eerily realistic. Despite being in a sci-fi/fantasy/post-apocalyptic setting, the characters, the reactions, the true "humanity" comes through. I can see this happening. I can see these situations coming up. Unfortunately, this realism is a chilling reminder of the worst that the human race is capable of. This series has actually forced me to deal with a couple of issues that I have been avoiding and that is never comfortable. Yet, as uncomfortable as I may be at times while reading these books, I am caught up in the story. I want to know what happens and it is going to be difficult to wait for the next book, hopefully coming out in August.
This is not a children's series, nor, in my opinion, young adult. Due to the violence, unless a teen is very mature, I would recommend it for adult readers only. The violence is necessary to the story line and to character development. It is not crudely done, but it is disturbing, so please be aware of it if you are a sensitive reader.
I highly recommend this series.

OMGoodness!!! Author J.K. Accinni has done it again, but she has surpassed her previous 4 books in the SPECIES INTERVENTION #6609 series: “Baby, Echo, Armageddon Cometh and Hive” with this book #5 “Evil Among Us”.
I had yet another sleepless night at my house once more. From the minute I downloaded “Evil Among Us” at 12:06 am this morning my brain has been in overload as I clicked my kindle to start my adventure back into the Species Intervention #6609 reading zone!!!
All my favorites are back in this phenomenal dystopian/apocalyptic series created for us to enjoy again, *waves HI to Baby*, oh how I have missed you… but I still don’t like Seth >.<
Suzy is just way to cute in my mind, but is she going to be safe and ok? (no spoilers here)
Ummm, as I look around The Hive why is everyone feeling so happy and mended? Can I have some of what ever it was you took so I can feel the same? LOL
I was so happy and elated to see a lot of my questions answered. But so sad in many other ways as a couple of things happen. (nope not gonna tell ya why or what) Ms Accinni will help us out to cheer us up again when book 6 “The One” comes out.
Baby!!!! Netty!!!!
Well done author J.K. Accinni on this highly exceptional addition to the Species Intervention #6609 series.
Now could you pizzazz hurry up with book #6 “The One”. I needed it like 10 minutes ago?

Wow! Where do I start with this book? First let me say this cover does look bad ass! I mean right? If you have read the other books you will understand the look of this cover. I have to say I wonder where this author gets her ideas for this series of books, because she has not disappointed me once and I know for sure her books will be added to my small list of books to re-read again later on.
You will fall in love with the characters and with others you will wonder what the heck is wrong with you. Come to your senses man or woman! I do have to say I really would like to know what has happened with Suzy as if you read in the book before this one you know she was kidnapped! So she is no longer with her grandmother or sister anymore.
The way the author describes the scenes in such detail has me in aww and amazement along with the shudders and going oh wow what an imagination.
My heart literally goes out to Kenya! Poor, poor Kenya and her pregnancy. Let me just say you got this girl. lol.
There will be secrets that come to life and so many questions! Echo and Baby have something going on that even those that are close to them do not even know about.
Overall this was an amazing book to read, and I kind of didn't want it to end! Because the ending has me wondering what is going on with all the Elders! They have something up their sleeve and I would like to know what that is.
I would highly suggest you go out and get this book as it is WONDERFUL! But I would suggest you also read the other books in the series as so you do not get confused and wonder what is going on.

Tensions in the hive have calmed down some. Everyone is kept pretty busy so they have little time to consider things. Kenya is still pregnant several months after her due date and her attitude is getting to some. Tight quarters leads to the expected romance triangles. The hive has rejuvenated all of them and as their health improves their attitude does also.
Lorna does barely make it to the hive with Seth and Jennifer but never did find Susan. Tensions rise when Abby won't cure Lorna because she is human. When they take her to the room for treatment, Cloyd mistakenly thinks the tendrils coming out of the wall are hurting Lorna and stomps on them. This creates a problem in her cure. Jennifer is found outside the cave and rescued also, though still in a coma. Seth awakens first. What will Seth do about his murderous tendencies? Will he repent and change? Cloyd, thinking Seth saved his family, befriends him. Unfortunately, we find that Seth is Seth.
Ceasar kills one of the elephant handlers when he starts a fight, causing an uproar amongst the humans. All are calling for Ceasar's head. This first death shows the humans exactly where they stand in the whole scheme of things. They are starting to get some answers but when Emma turns up missing along with another piglet, accusations fly. Seth is found out, and more secrets come out. Netty and Will find out that Baby and Echo have been keeping secrets even from them!
What is going to happen? Will they last 100 years, at least? What will the Earth look like when they can see the sun again?

Evil Among Us is the fifth installment to the Species Intervention Series. It picks up six months after the group of survivors has been led into the hive. The survivors have fallen into a routine that is about to be shaken to the core with the arrival of Clyde's wife Lorna, his granddaughter Jennifer, and their sadistic traveling companion Seth. It seems the hive is still not rid of the evil of humanity. We learn that the occupants of the hive will be there for a century while the earth prepares itself for the animals return. "How can these human live a century?" you may ask. The answer is the womb! It is making them look younger and feel healthier as they sleep. Poor pregnant Kenya who is six months past due learns that she will not be having her baby until they leave the hive and she is determined to change it. Wil and Netty have some secrets that have been hinted at but not revealed and Baby and Echo have a huge secret of their own! How will these survivors co exist for 100 years? Who will survive until the end?
Accinni did an awesome job on this one. I found this book hard to put down once I started reading it. The characters keep developing and giving me a new dynamic to the story and their lives. Each book is better and better. I can't wait for The One to come out so I can continue my adventure. This is a series that I see myself reading over and over for years to come!

5th book...and best thus far! I tend not to want to give a lot away, so my reviews are more emotion based. I feel like J.K. Accinni is writing with a point, but every character has an amazing co-relation. I was very happy to see some things going on for Baby, and see some connections that were made amongst others, and ....sort of happy about a situation that occurred leading to---someone's fate. I think this book brings the series round and makes things connect, and honestly-I can feel the earthly connection here, almost reading as if some of it we live daily. I don't ever question a genius in the works and JK has certainly attained that level. You read and wonder, is that really possible, how do we not know whats going on, where did that come from? Its a book that is made to bring out more secrets, bring out some truths, and set a precedence in the series. There simply is Evil Among Us, and we never know where or in whom, or through what it may be lurking. ....And now, I am gripping waiting for the next book.
This is a series I highly recommend to anyone looking to be captured into a book they will not want to put down. I greatly enjoyed another shockingly surprising book written by the talented J.Kelly Accinni. Thank you JK for sharing your visions, thoughts, and incredible perspectives through your words.

Dystopian Earth with Aliens
Holy Cow. This is one of the best depictions of a dystopian outcome I have read since Cormac Mccarthy's The Road. And it contrasts wonderfully with the magic sanctuary of the Hive.
Lorna and the evil Seth make it to the Hive but she has lost her mind and they are both full of radiation poisoning. they are without 5 year old Suzy to a violent tribe of men that use young girls as slaves. The chapters with Suzy are some of the most riveting as they take us through her will to survive and she acquires the skill to manipulate their leader. Wow, very real and scary. Earth after the bombs is not safe or pleasant as the tribe falls back on primitive methods. (The grunge factor is exceptionally high!)
And Baby...the little rascal. Another blindside as we are brought full circle to Nettys beginnings through Baby's attempt at revenge with the secret he has been hiding in the cave for decades. Ms Accinni does a great job showing the raw emotions and anger that has festered for so long in out little Baby.
As an unintended result, Ginger Mae, one of my favs meets the long thought dead Sheriff Hudson and guess what??? SPOILER: The first HIve wedding!!! So happy for her...
This is some of the most talented writing I have seen for the series. Ms Accinni keeps getting better and better. I can't wait to see what happens next

Loved it! It took me a little to figure out who was who again as it has been a while between this book and the last, and needless to say I forget things after thirty minutes. However once the characters were well established and I picked up the story again, it completely ran away with me. I started and finished within a couple of hours because I simply could not put it down. I loved how some of the secrets were revealed in Evil Among Us, and I also loved the horror and anticipation that the characters such as Seth created and the tensions between some of the younger survivors was creating. It kept the story flowing and also led me closer to what is going to be revealed in The One. It was interesting to also see into another side of Baby and Echo to see that they also harbor human emotion and keep secrets even from their loved ones, and exposing the survivors to Netty's raw emotions I think really helped heal alot of discomfort and rising issues as it made her and Wil and the other elders seem more human to the Hive.
There were some sad parts and happy parts and some completely despicable events as well in this one book, but it was so worth the wait and has me waiting very impatiently for book 6 to be released in August.

Another fabulous book in the ‘Species Intervention 6609’ series.
Where to start with this one! I’ve read all the previous 4 books and I’m still as gripped as I was with Baby.
Seth, Lorna & Jennifer finally make it to the Hive in this book and their appearance has both a positive and negative effect on the habitants of the Hive, both human and animals.
There is unrest amongst the survivors and this only gets worse. To try and appease them Netty & Wil decide to let them in on some of the plans that the Womb has in store. There is a reappearance of other characters which is surprising and not at all suspected.
Baby & Echo also have secrets that as always ‘come out in the wash’.
It’s hard to think how the author can keep the suspense and angst going while the survivors are all working together to make the best of the situation they find themselves in but suspense and angst there is a plenty. Great writing!
The womb is pro-animals and shows much contempt for man & the destruction he weaves. If the womb didn’t need them, I’m in no doubt the survivors would have been left out in the destruction to fend for themselves.
There is lots of love, sweat, blood and tears.

Evil Among Us (Species Intervention #6609, Book 5) by J.K. Accinni is another great read from this author!
The Earth is in dismal shambles as Seth steers the dying Lorna and Jen toward the Hive. He talks his way in while plotting how to kill Lorna before she can talk. Seth is the evil snake in the garden of Eden. He brings death and chaos to the survivors carefree existence as they care for the rescued wildlife and contemplate the day they can return above ground. Who knew he would unleash the monstrous Kreyven. A force for evil? Or Good? I love the use of Toby the elephant who plays such a big part in Bonnie's life. The animals aren't just there.
They are integral to the story. And of course, Ceaser the wondrous tiger that guards Scotty. O is her really guarding Chloe? I saw a reference to "her" when The One was feeding Ceasar water. Is that a typo or a clue??
This book in the series moves very quickly from one blind side and heart thumping scene to the another. I refused to put it down. I think you will too.
5 stars for this awesome read J.K. Accinni!

I know I have rated most of these books a 5, simply because it is so hard to say one is better than the other when I loved reading every single one of them. Yet, this one I think was the best. There was a lot of answers in this book which I think helped with that and while there was still a lot of characters, in this book it worked a lot better than in Armageddon cometh!! Quite simply you see a different side to echo and bay but at the same time a side that most of us would probably consider abhorrent but at the same time understandable in the circumstances.
The story flowed well, the writing was fabulous and the characters all developed into what normal humans are, complete chaos and bedlam. That is why although it has the same amount of stars, I loved this book better than the others.
Cannot recommend this book, and the series enough!! Will be waiting impatiently to read the next book in the series.

This is already book 5 in the series, and almost the last one. The way the life in the Hive is described, with all the conflicts and solutions, makes this a real pageturner. You get really thrown in the new form of society that is being formed, with the few last humans that survived the destruction of life on earth like we know it. As with all places were people live closely together, of course you get problems among them that have to be solved. Some in a peaceful way, others not that peaceful, in the style of the series.
Even though some of the open questions from the earlier books get answered, there are still a lot of questions that stay open. It will be great to read the last book and get an answer to those still. Just hoping it will all fit in the book, as so much is still to come!
Waiting now eagerly for the last book to come out!
ps. I received a free copy of this e-book through a promotion for the series, this has in no way influenced my opinion expressed above!

When I started reading the series, I didn't think I would have fallen for it like I did. Up until Evil Among Us, I had a hard time picking which was my favorite. Now I don't have any doubt that this was my favorite. During the entire read I was on the edge of my seat and couldn't put my book down. I had to find out what was going to happen next. I would love to see this series made into a movie. If it would be, I'd be the first in line to buy it. The entire series is unique and the plot is one that you wouldn't expect.
In Evil Among Us, several characters (Lorna, Jennifer and Seth) struggle to locate the safe haven of the Hive. They come up to several speed bumps along the way, which had my heart racing and I couldn't stop reading. While in the Hive, those who were already there were blessed with the protection from the Womb. This is a fantastic read which I recommend everyone reads.

Wow J. K. Accinni has done it again! She has taken me for a whirlwind experience through this book. The twists and turns and bumps in the proverbial road are amazing to say the least. How she comes up with this stuff is beyond me, her imagination is wonderous! This one kind of ties the first 4 books (Baby, Echo, Armegeddon Cometh, and Hive) into one neat little bow and then RIPS is back apart at the end with the whole secret that I am DYING to know from the elders! Good Womb(God) I cannot wait for the One. Such an amazing story of what Humans could cause our wonderful beautiful world. just amazing! Species Intervention 6609 (how many times our world has had the intervention and been started over again.) is one of THE BEST series I have ever read. Thank you J.K.Accinni for allowing us into your imagination and making us use ours. you are amazing!!

I received this book from the author for an honest and fair review.
This serious should come with a warning label! I've bumped into so many people by walking round reading these on my phone, I'm just too engrossed.
Evil Among Us is the fifth book in the series and I must say I really couldn't wait to start on this book as too many questions were left unanswered in the forth. I have gone through so many feelings with this book, which is thanks to the talented author. This book has so many twists and turns, I don't like to post in case it spoils for people, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. A lot of unanswered questions were answered in the book, but a lot more arise. I hope these questions will be answered in the final book. I hope this series is made into a film, I certainly would be queuing to watch it.

these story's have taken you from Baby, Wil, and Netty's life; then to Echo, Scotty, Abby, Jose; then it goes to how the others became a part of it all as well as Wil, Netty, Abby, Scotty,Jose, Baby, and Echo all came together united. now for this one everyone is living together in safety being looked after by the womb when more disasters hit. as i read through this story i was hooked from beginning yet again like i was with each of the others. i will say again i was never really into these type of books before but the author has such a talent for writing that you become hooked from the beginning of each story and it leaves you looking forward to reading the next one and it is wonderful when the next one is the same way. these books i recommend to everyone

This had got to be my favorite of the series so far. Holy smokes. Things are rocking and moving fast. Twists and surprises at every corner. The dystopian aspects of the story are superb! What great characterizations. My flesh crawls with Seth's evilness and the horrific acts the author shows him doing. Scary stuff but I can imagine how bad people would behave when the peacekeepers and law are no more. The first chapter of the book is one of the best I have read. The descriptions of Earth after the bombs and the attitude of the Womb was just perfect. I hope our own politicians wise up and keep their fingers off the button! What a series. I'm just loving it!

The background idea of this book of the Species Intervention dystopian series is brilliant - aliens defending animals, to tell in a nutshell.
Among the horror elements that spice up the story especially for horror and thriller lovers, I think that Mrs Accinni had definitely delivered her best book, at least to me.
Have a seat (or a sofa) and enjoy the show.

This is another winner! The latest installment in Accinni’s series took me on a thrill ride that didn’t stop. I thought the Hive was great, but I think this one even surpassed it. The complex characters and gritty realism make this dystopian world unforgettable.

This is an imaginative writing, and an interesting narrative, but with some serious caveats;
Most of the male characters are psychotic rapist sadists, like if it were something "normal" for everyone in this planet having a dick to be a cruel misogynist. There are some totally unnecessary cruel sadistics scenes. Also, most human women in the series are defendless victims, bordering the imbecility with their inaction, even the mildly "evil" ones.
The whole series is like a vegan-feminist space-soap-opera with too many religion-like parallels, with the Womb as "God", with the Hive as the Ark, and a private "Hell" with those that misbehaved, and a Heaven in another planet, the aliens physically like a mix of angels and devils, etc. Finally the only ONE printed book saved out of ALL the planet; the "Holy bible".
Not to mention the only gay relationship in the series is one of the psychotic male characters, impulsed out of woman rejection.
I finally spent much more money in these 6 books than in many others that I read that were either free or just $0.99 that were so much better histories. Way too expensive for such a disappointing agenda.

What a perfect title for this book, as the author truly IS evil! Check out her criminal history in NJ, court cases in FL, and the accusations of what she did to her parents. This sue-happy low life hides behind books, false accusations, lies and deception. I wouldn’t pay a penny to read her garbage.

Another successful hit
It's surprised me to see a whole book that is written just on the outside Of the hive, although I have a feeling that Susie is going to be a very important part Coming up soon as the high end those men meet. On to the 1!
