Heartbroken over Lydia's unexplained departure, Daniel Brewer is barely functional. When she left the Endure, she took everything important with her: his purpose, his heart, his reason for breathing. Daniel's convinced Nick Miller has the answers to his questions, but Dr. Gorgeous isn't talking.
A world away, Dr. Lydia Ashley struggles with her choices and mistakes. With one small discovery, everything she thought was true is shattered in an instant.

No one is safe.
And Daniel and Lydia must both decide exactly how far they'll go for love.

Oh hell yes! You get all your answers! To Daniel and LYDIA!! Eeep! Oh, you'll want to know. Hold your breath, maybe even pinch your nose! We are diving in and it's a deep, deep pool here. You are not going to want to come up for air.
****FULL REVIEW****
Lydia has left Endure and with what she learns in Brazil, she trusts no one and she's alone. Daniel is struggling without her and no word from her. To make it harder yet, Nick has returns to the Endure and not sharing any news with Daniel on Lydia. Still looking for a cure to the deadly bacteria Lydia questions why she's still working this project with the secrets she learns. But she's got the genius to figure it out, to save them and the world. Daniel is working on finding who at the UN is involved with the bacteria. Someone high up in the UN and military is, as we learned, is involved with the Maven Initiative. But who? On the run for their lives, our trio will come to learn many secrets.
Hold your breath, maybe even pinch your nose! We are diving in and it's a deep, deep pool here. You are not going to want to come up for air. Lydia has left Endure, for research of the current project, and other intimate reasons. The secrets she learns will blow you and her out of the water!
OH, oh oh! So many answers to the small questions, and HUGE ONES I've wondered about and now I get to know. And now, there is more questions created as well. But Oh Boy this book is full of story! You have your romance and you have your smiles and tears. But I love what I learn of the story here with Lydia. Even with Daniel and Nick. Soooo much here!!
Oh goodness do I love Daniel. He is hanging by a string with Lydia leaving unexpectedly and not talking to him. Brooke is that thread holding him together. A great friend and she knows a few of Lydia's secrets, so even though she can't tell she knows the truth deep down. We even learn a great deal more of Brooke. We even see one of Daniel's past flings. *giggle* I do love this woman and her tactics. I don't want to mention to much about Lydia as that will give away a big play here. But she's a bit on the emotional side with all going on. At times I had a hard time connecting with her, but I've known others to have the same responses as she.
The dual POV is amazing here so easily we get information for the case. And even though I know I'd be just as worried and paranoid from either Daniel or Lydia's side of things, we see how crazy all the self induced stress is and keep it light for us as a reader.
In the end, I can't wait to get the fourth book! I think we are safe at the end, at least for the moment, but I just want to make sure!

*I received an eCopy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
What an ending to book 2! I think I was equally heartbroken for both Lydia and Daniel at Lydia’s sudden departure from the Endure. Although I understood her reasoning my heart still ached for both parties. Progeny picks up with Lydia in Brazil, working with Nick at a research facility in an attempt to find a countermeasure to the utter destruction the Maven initiative seeks to plague the world with.
I honestly don’t know how to review this book without revealing some major spoilers so I’m going to be a little vague. What’s most important is this – Huchton sure knows how to drop some major bombs on her readers. I think I lost count after the third major revelation. Honestly, most of them were so surprising I had to re-read some passages to make sure I hadn’t imagined them.
I have to say that crafting a story this complex and full of chaos is seriously genius. I’m not sure I’ve ever read a sci-fi that can incorporate such intricate details AND nail the romance on the head. I’m amazed.
Progeny challenges our favorite characters (Lydia, Daniel, Nick, Brooke, Cordy, etc.) to make some unbelievably difficult decisions. With the possible and probable destruction of half the world’s population looming in the near future, many seemingly impossible situations arise. Despite some serious tension and downright hostility our characters must put aside their feelings and work together to save humanity.
Like the first two books in the series, Progeny is full of action, but on a whole new level. As figurative bomb after bomb goes off within the story my attention never strayed and I devoured the book in just a few hours. I am so beyond in love with this story, truly a hidden gem that I want the entire world to discover! (If I could just develop some hacker skills like Daniels and broadcast this book to the world I would…alas I am in no way tech savvy)
Progeny does not disappoint and I CANNOT wait to see what happens in book 4 after the major shock at the end!
Again…sorry for the vague review but in the words of River Song…”Spoilers.”

I won an eARC of Progeny in a giveaway.
The latest installment in the Endure series is another smart, sexy, action-packed read. Daniel and Lydia's mission becomes more critical than ever when their personal circumstances change and shocking new information about the Maven Initiative comes to light. I enjoyed this book tremendously and am looking forward to the next book....especially after my suspicions about a certain someone's involvement in the conspiracy look to be correct after that ending!
I highly recommend this series if you are looking for a fast-paced read with the perfect combo of science, intrigue, and romance.

Recensione sul mio blog:
http://pleaseanotherbook.tumblr.com/p...
“Progeny” è il terzo volume della “The Endure Series” iniziata con “Maven” e sono stata davvero molto fortunata a ricevere un eARC direttamente dall’autrice. Era un libro che aspettavo con molta ansia, visto che avevo letto si seguito i primi due libri tutti d’un fiato per il blog tour a cui ho partecipato lo scorso luglio e me ne sono innamorata… e ho amato tantissimo anche questo nuovo libro.
Disperato per la partenza inspiegabile di Lydia, Daniel Brewer funziona a stento. Quando lascia l’Endure, ha portato tutto quello che di importante aveva con lei, il suo scopo, il suo cuore e la sua ragione per respirare. Daniel è convinto che Nick Miller ha le risposte alle sue domande, ma Dr. Gorgeous non parla. Un mondo a parte, Dr. Lydia Ashley lotta con le sue scelte e i suoi sbagli. Con una piccola scoperta, tutto quello che pensava fosse vero viene spezzato in un istante. I segreti nascosti della Maven Iniziative vengono a galla. Nessuno è al sicuro.
E Daniel e Lydia devono decidere esattamente quanto andare lontano per amore.
La storia inizia un paio di mesi dopo gli eventi di “Nemesi” in cui Lydia è scappata in Brasile dopo la proposta di Daniel per condurre le ricerche necessarie per scoprire i piani della “Maven Iniziative”. Daniel è rimasto a bordo della Endure, anche lui immerso completamente nel compito di smascherare i nemici. Le vicende sono sempre raccontate in terza persona alternando i punti di vista dei due protagonisti, ma la Huchton è talmente brava da riuscire a creare un tessuto narrativo continuo, quasi impeccabile, dove non manca niente, e i vari fatti si susseguono con continuità. Inizialmente Lydia e Daniel sono divisi in un mare di equivoci e di decisioni prese sull’onda dell’emotività. Ma non mancano i colpi di scena, che non solo danno risposte a domande dei precedenti volumi, ma ingarbugliano la vicenda ancora di più, mostrando un quadro molto più inquietante e macabro. Di certo la “Maven Iniziative” ha una mano molto più lunga di quello che si pensava inizialmente ed è capace di sconvolgere le vite di quelli che sono coinvolti… e chi è coinvolto lascerà a bocca aperta il lettore. Colpi di scena a non finire per una storia che risulta sempre più incredibile e che unisce la sci-fi alla romance, in un connubio eccezionale e molto ben riuscito. Da un lato abbiamo Lydia una ragazza che fin dalla tenera età ha dovuto imparare a fare le cose da sola, a sopravvivere in un mondo che la voleva a tutti i costi. Testarda, intraprendente, geniale nel suo campo, nella ricerca, nella evoluzione scientifica, ma terribilmente innocente, fragile e quasi incapace nel mondo dei sentimenti e dei rapporti romantici. Sempre convinta di fare la cosa giusta, compie delle scelte che non sempre sono quelle che ci si aspetta e che soprattutto lasciano sia lei che Daniel completamente allo scoperto. Ma Lydia non è una che si lascia sopraffare facilmente o che cede… anzi. Lydia è la ragazza che cambia direzione in piena manovra se capisce che quello che sta facendo si basa su informazione parziali o false. Lydia è colei che perdona, che allo stesso tempo non si fa prendere la mano dalle emozioni e in questo modo riesce ad essere una donna vincente, una che sa quello che vuole e come ottenerlo. Lydia è una protagonista seria ed affidabile, che inspira forza e fiducia e per cui il lettore fa il tifo.
Dall’altro lato abbiamo Daniel che è cresciuto e cambiato radicalmente dal primo libro. Daniel è un uomo ormai, non più lo stupido ragazzetto che andava dietro ogni gonnella che gli capitava a tiro. Intelligente, appassionato, un mostro con i computer, vive la partenza di Lydia come una perdita atroce e quasi non lo si riconosce. Aggressivo, salta su con niente, ma ciò che lo spinge avanti è la sicurezza del suo amore per Lydia, che seppur non ricambiato è comunque la sua forza e la sua spinta. Daniel deve affrontare molti sacrifici, non sempre facili, non sempre privi di rischi, ma è pronto a tutto pur di riportare a casa Lydia. Daniel inspira tenerezza e fortitudine e allo stesso tempo lo si vorrebbe scrollare. C’è sempre una certa dose di fede insperata in Daniel che va avanti solo per quella. La riappacificazione, forse molto affrettata, resta comunque in tema con il resto delle vicende che si catalizzano con i tentativi della squadra Nemesi di scoprire la verità. E si sa la verità a volte fa male ed è proprio un calcio negli stinchi. Per Lydia e Daniel non c’è molta pace, i pericoli arrivano da ogni direzione… e la battaglia è appena iniziata.
I personaggi secondari restano sempre pochi, ma molto efficaci e naturalmente necessari, niente è inutile, il meccanismo della storia è ben oliato e assolutamente stupefacente. A partire da Brooke, l’amica hacker di Daniel per proseguire con Nick l’affascinante dottor Gorgeous al cui fascino e aiuto deve cedere anche il nostro bel protagonista per finire con il Dottor DeBeauvoir il cui ruolo è molto più complesso di quello che ci si poteva immaginate all’inizio.
Il particolare da non dimenticare? Un microchip…
Una storia intensa, ricca, affascinante e al cardiopalma, che non lascia tregua, piena di azione e di sentimenti veri. Tra il contorno fantascientifico che non smette di incantare e la storia d’amore tra Daniel e Lydia è assolutamente magica e lascia sperare per tutti noi. Non vedo l’ora di mettere le mani sull’ultimo capitolo della serie che lascia ben sperare. Non vedo l’ora.
Buona lettura guys!
Ringrazio immensamente Starla Hutchon per avermi concesso la straordinaria opportunità di leggere il libro in anteprima in cambio della mia onesta opinione. Grazie!

“’We always have a choice, Dr. Ashley. It’s what we do with the options we’re given that’s important.’” (Kindle Location 423).
“’You can’t blame yourself for putting people into a dangerous situation you didn’t create.’” (Kindle Locations 3297-3298).
Book three picks up after a bit of time from the end of Nemesis. Lydia has been gone long enough for them to send Dr. Nick back after lack of funding for both off-Endure researchers and she is now by herself in what may became potential enemy territory. With what she has learned and how she thinks Daniel feels, Lydia feels more alone than she’s ever felt before. She continues working on the cure to the bacteria she was studying on the Endure, but is plagued by doubt about everything and everyone. Has she left Daniel for good, or will this genius power couple get back together, even after knowing what they know about each other?
The reveals are grandiose in this book and the lengths both Daniel and Lydia will go for love are insane. The tension has been building from book one and we get the exciting third book of all hell breaks loose! Some conflicts are resolved, but the grand plotline, the good versus evil theme is still ongoing and yet to be concluded in this third novel. THIS IS NOT A TRILOGY. Progeny is not the final book. Huchton leaves the book with her greatest cliffhanger of the Endure series.
The greater plotline that’s fully revealed in this third book of the series is quite a doozy, meandering in and out of the gray area of genetic manipulation and selective breeding. But Huchton makes it personal. She brings a hypothetical (I hope) scientific concept to life right in front of your eyes with one of her characters and you are in the midst of the emotional ride as this gray area plays out. Who will win in the end? Will there be any winners? This third book is the most apocalyptic of the series, as it delves into possibilities that Huchton might explore in book four concerning a major decrease in population! She pulls out all the stops for this book, but looking back you know she had some of these greater designs in mind from the beginning. There were hints. There were clues. Hopefully in book four we get the conclusion we’ve been looking for.

Note: I’ve tried to keep it spoiler free. Anything obvious isn’t in here but you never know. Fair warning.
“O.M.G. That was an amazing ride!” That is literally what I sent Starla minutes after finishing Progeny. Progeny takes us once more into the world of Dr. Lydia Ashley and Daniel Brewer, set two months after the heart-wrenching ending of Nemesis (Yes, I’m still heartbroken over that!).
It starts off two months after Nemesis left off and things are not so great at all. I loved the relationship between Daniel and Brooke. It honestly was one of my favorite parts of this book. Daniel was lucky to have a friend like Brooke, who stuck by his side in a situation that would have been trying for anyone else to have dealt with. Brooke’s character really came alive in the first and last parts of Progeny. The last few scenes she was in were also well-done. I like that she challenged Lydia like she did. Again, Daniel is lucky to have a friend like Brooke.
Progeny sees the Lydia and Daniel’s world opening up further than even they could imagine, with secrets and plot twists I didn’t see coming. The conspiracy definitely runs much farther than anyone could have guessed, and seeing it all come to a head in Progeny was nothing short of amazing. This author clearly knows how to do her research on the scientific bits, and she definitely puts a lot of thought into building the mystery and revealing it to the characters and readers slowly. I honestly can’t wait to see how book four closes this out and I suspect it will be longer than the first three because of the amount of ground it has to cover—which is totally fine by me. I would actually love to see the series continue past the end of this particular big bad’s plotline, if for no other reason than I am absolutely in love with Lydia, Daniel, and Brooke.
5/5 stars to Progeny. This book had me glued to my Kindle half the time and doing happy dances the other half. I can’t wait for book four!
