Awesome book! After recovering from the cliffhanger hangover of Vol 1, I was so excited to receive an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I have loved this whole series/spin offs by Christina Ross. This story continue from where Annihilate Me 2 Vol 1 left off in that horrible cliffhanger. This is about who survives and how they survive. There are some teary moments. And some happy moments and of course the danger and drama! I highly recommend. Warning - this one also ends in a cliffhanger!!

[Anne Dodds · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! Just one cliffhanger, nail biter after another!!!!! After reading Annihilate Me 2 Vol 1 I thought at least three were dead. So this book takes up right after Vol 1's major cliffhanger.

What started as a "romance" between Jenn and Alex in the first Annihilate Me 1 series has turned into something totally different and awesome in Annihilate Me 2!

The characters in these books are so rich and well thought out. They're individual personalities shine through and I have to give props to Christina Ross for keeping the continuity of these characters going through the whole series. Lisa and Blackwell are my favorites. And yes, I even follow Blackwell on Twitter!

I must warn you though....this does end in a cliffhanger. And it's another big one! I have no idea when the one comes out but it won't be soon enough for me!

This whole series is a must read.

I was given an ARC copy of Annihilate Me 2, Vol 2 in exchange for my honest opinion. OH MY GOSH, she did it again! I started this book and finished this book in about 3 hours!! I could not put the book down, I have been very much looking forward to the return of this series and was not disappointed as usual. This book caught me from the first paragraph and held my attention until it finished. It did leave me hanging and wanting more, which makes the wait for the next book pure torture but totally worth the wait! Great job Christina, another fabulous book!

[Lyn Fox · Rating 5 out of 5]

I had to read this straight through. This picks up right where the last one ends and as we find out what happens at the end of the plane crash. I grieved with them and celebrated their successes and was surprised by what the new dangers turned out to be. This book continues in the same excellent style and pace as her others in the series, but damn if this cliffhanger isn't more frustrating than the last one! I cannot wait til the next book!!

I was lucky to receive an ARC of this for my honest review.

I was offered an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow Christina Ross does it again With Volume 2, this book continues after the crash from Vol 1. This story will bring out so many emotions you may laugh, cry or just sigh. Christina describes things that you fell like your there, you feel the wind or heat etc.. I really love this story and am in love with these characters. This is one of my favorite series of books and the I even love the cliffhangers because i know another book is coming.

I was offered an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

WOW, just WOW! I just finished the book in less that 2 hours (fast reader) and loved it. Christina Ross has quickly become my #1 favorite author and I read at least 5 books a week at minimum. I stumbled upon her last year and am so very glad that I did.

This book continues the roller coaster that left off on the last book. I loved this book. I won't give anything away so as to not ruin for anyone but will say, you will not be disappointed.

Enjoy!

I received the book as ARC copy. I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait for the last one. I really hope I don't have to wait very long. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole book. If I could have kept my eyes open longer, I probably would have read straight through the night. I did finish this book in record time.

[Kelly Stocks · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy of this book. I loved it, Christina Ross hascdone it again. The way she can capture the feelings and emotions of each character is brilliant and brings the reader along for the ride. You might want to have a box of tissues handy because you feel like you are in the story as well.

Can not wait for the next installment of the series.

[Amanda Doucet · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was offered an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I read this book, start to finish, in a couple of hours. I read it with bated breath, and simply could not get enough. Christina Ross is brilliant with the ability to keep the reader engaged and has a wonderful grasp on language.

I fell in love with the characters in previous books, and cannot help but cheer them on and grieve with them as they face love, loss, and even adventure. The author makes them absolutely real, with flaws that are believable. Blackwell is absolutely my girl-crush.

I am looking forward to the next book.

I call this a must read.

[Julie Lavalle · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.75 Stars - Read this in one sitting..I have to say I was hoping for just a little bit more from this book as I feel in love with Jennifer and Alex and the cliffhanger at the end of AM2-V1 had me going crazy..this started right where that one left off and had me turning the page just waiting and waiting that is until the end --- come on I was yelling at Jennifer - STOP just stop but noooo have to have another cliffhanger. I hate waiting UGH..hope its not too long. OH and Danielle and Alexa's whiny bitchiness drives me MAD! Blackwell has to just slap them already!!!

[Nicole German · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy Sweet Baby Jesus!

Again I have to say...WTF! This continuation of this series has been a rollercoaster ride of epic proportions. Nothing like the books in the first edition of the series. These normally pampered and elegant individuals are actually bad ass! Especially Jennifer. An interesting new adventure for the folks of the Annihilate Me world. I couldn't have been more surprised. Looking forward to the next book in this edition of the series.

Wow

This book was amazing. There is so much you don’t see coming it’s crazy. This book was very well written. Definitely a must read.

[Jennifer Feltz Milkowski · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another good addition to the overall storyline. However I don't use the cliffhanger. I am just happy that the next one was available.

[TJ · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book 2 of this series of Alex, Jennifer and the gang. This continues where book 1 ended and what a book this was. Lots of drama to keep you wanting more.

[Traann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Exciting second installment in the Annihilate Me 2 series

Christina Ross has done it again and with heart stopping drama. Annihilate Me 2: Volume 2 picks up right where Annihilate Me 2: Volume 1 left off. If you haven’t read that book, please do so before starting this one. You will be lost with out that background. Christina explains all this in the beginning of the book so you are warned before you start. In addition I highly recommend reading the “Annihilate Me” series and if you REALLY want to understand every nuance of the action, read the “Unleash Me” series too.

It will be hard to review this with out SPOILERS for those of you who haven’t read “Annihilate Me 2: Volume 1” since it picks up moments after the book ends but I will try not to include SPOILERS for those of you who have read it.

As you may remember from the last pages of Volume 1 Alex Wenn’s plane has crashed. With Volume 2 you find out who survived the crash and who didn’t. How the survivors lived and what consequences they faced, the thoughts of what will happen to Wenn Enterprises with the people who were on the plane missing and how it will change the game for all involved with the company.

There are things that happen on the Island you wouldn’t have seen coming and the end of the book, just like all of her previous books is a cliff hanger although at this point since I’ve come to expect that from her books I wasn’t as crushed when I finished, but as always I can not want for Volume 3 to come out.

According to Christina’s Facebook page, she is still working on Volume 3, so we will just have to be patient to see how it all works out. Volume 3 will end this particular Annihilate Series.

I received the book as an ARC for an honest review and I recommend it to anyone who loves romance, deep friendships, suspense and the business world. If you do then once again, this is the series for you.

[Donna Repsher · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review, so here goes.

I love this series and I truly wish I could give it a 5-star rating, but I had a few problems with the story line. First and foremost, I read a lot, and have probably read over 100 novels since I read the first volume of this series. I think that in any serialized novel, it would helpful to the reader to have a cast of characters preface page, listing all the characters and their relationships to one another, because I had a difficult time, at first, remembering who they all were and how they were connected to each other.

That said, the writing is excellent, as it always is in a Christina Ross novel, and the plot moves along, but I had a difficult time believing the story line. It seemed illogical to me.

Finally, Christina Ross writes amazing cliffhanger endings that truly leave you on the edge of your seat, but I would so much prefer a complete novel to read from cover to cover. I think what is lost when a novel is serialized is what I complained about at the outset of this review. Unless you read so little between the installments, you lose the intimate relationship you would otherwise develop and retain in a single volume.

I'll continue to read this series because Ms. Ross is an excellent writer, and I hope that Volume 3 will garner my usual 5-star rating.

I loved this book couldn't put it down. After the plane crash on the island not everyone survived. When they were safely out of the plane Cutter went back to get supplies that they would need to survive. When the plane exploded there was no sign of Cutter, but they kept hope alive because they didn't find his body. At night when they went to sleep in the hut that they had built they would hear someone walking close to their hut. One day they were all in shock when they saw Cutter limping toward them, but they also saw four men behind him with guns. After being there for 2 weeks the people that were living there agreed on a deal to give up medicine for Cutter in exchange for money and to get them help. The leader and his sons left with Alex to make the money transfer, but when they had left the people that stayed behined told Jennifer and the rest that after the transfer was made that they were going to kill Alex anyway. With the help of some of the people there on the island Tank and Jennifer went to help Alex, but when they got there they were notice and started shooting and when it was all over one was losing a lot of blood and their life.

I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review so here it goes...
I want to start by saying I love Christina Ross and have become emotionally invested in these characters. I also re-read the series in anticipation of this books release. Since I never win any contests that I sign up for you can imagine my surprise when I received this ARC!

This book starts out right where Vol. 1 ends and you become immediately involved in the drama that unfolds. I do not want to give any spoilers so I will just say there is a lot of danger and a few tears at the beginning.
This was a quick read, only took me a couple of hours. I understand that it was focused primarily on Jennifer and Alex but it seems like Lisa was forgotten for most of the story which made me sad because I just love her (Lisa and Blackwell are my favorites). A few parts of the story seem to be rushed - almost like they were an afterthought but overall it was another good book that ended with another crazy cliffhanger so I will wait impatiently for Vol. 3.

[Dawn Gillespie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was given the wonferful opportunity of reading an ARC (Advanced Reader's Copy) in exchange for an honest review. If you remember the ending for Annihilate Me 2: vol.1 left you with a huge cliff hanger and vol 2 picks up right where it left off. This book had me sitting on the edge of my seat and I was constantly wondering what's going to happen next. Christina will pull at so many emotions in this book, probably all your emotions and then she leaves you wanting more. I just want Christina to never stop writing this series but then again I have felt the same way about all her books. I give this book 5 stars, I'd give it 10 if I could! You must read Annihilate Me 2, Vol 1 before this book but in all honestly you should really read every single Annihilate Me book Christina has written and the novelas. The characters in these books will start to become your friends, your family, your enemies (if only they were real). Plese read this book after you read Vol 1. You won't be disapointed!!

Crazy cliffhangers!

Yikes! I have such a love/hate obsession with this author's cliffhanger series. I go in knowing I'm going to be left in suspense, but I just can't stop myself. The characters and the stories pull me in. Obviously, this book picks up exactly where the last one left off, right after the plane crash. The story starts off with a bang and never stops until it ends with a bang (literally). I love the non-stop action and drama of this series, but most of all, I love the depth of the relationships and friendships. Are the stories over the top and a bit out of the realm of realism? Of course. Do I care? Absolutely not. Fiction for me can have a wide variety of ranges. I can suspend disbelief for a well written story with well developed characters. For me, this series is just pure adrenaline romantic escapism at its best.

[Beth Thompson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I receive an ARC for an honest review. A wild rollercoaster ride! I could not put it down. First let me reccomend that you read all of the Annihilate me and Unleash me series before you venture to these books. You have to get the emotional connection with each of these characters to appreciate this story. This story runs the gambit of emotion and adventure. We were asked to review with no spoilers so I will try not to give anything away. Just say that the entire read was like being on the edge of your seat in an action/adventure movie. This book draws you in as it picks up from the cliffhanger of the last book. The ups and downs and crazy wild scenario that these people are in is so captivating it's hard to put the book down. That is all I can say and not give away any details trust me just read it!

I received an ARC for Annihilate Me 2, Volume 2 in exchange for an honest review. Once again, I am in shock! I have grown to love the characters in the Annihilate Me Series, along with the Unleash Me Series....Jennifer and Alex, Tank and Lisa and Blackwell are all my book BFF's. This book picked up from their plane crash, and what they went thru. I do not write spoilers, but I do give my honest opinion, and once again Christina Ross has come through with a book I could not put down. This is the book to make a movie from....I am waiting for that to happen. If you have not read this series, go back to Annihilate Me 1, volume 1....and start at the beginning. You will not be disappointed!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have loved all of the books in this series so far, and so was eagerly anticipating the release of this latest installment. Right from the start, I was a little skeptical. I mean, I originally started a romance series, and now I was reading a stranded-on-a-remote island story? That's not usually my thing.

HOWEVER, I was quickly pulled into the story. This is such a departure from the previous volumes, and it really brought out sides of these characters, who we have all grown to love, that we haven't seen yet. Blackwell eating bread? Say it isn't so!

This book was exactly what I expected; it was well written, it was a page-turner, and it left me wanting more.

[Lynnette · Rating 5 out of 5]

I LOVE this series of books. Some may say that they've gone through a lot and she should have ended them but I like reading more about Alex, Jennifer, Lisa, Tank and Blackwell with her crazy kids.

They've landed in what most would think is paradise but after loosing 5 people and almost loosing each other, it's more like hell. They do their best to help each other survive but in the end are they alone? will they all survive? and will someone find them?

if you're a fan, you know that these books probably don't have an ending near. if you're not a fan and hate cliffhangers I would suggest to stop reading. It leaves off on a cliffhanger and I believe the author has future plans to continue with the story.

Do you keep a “must read” list of books? If you do, you need to add this one to the top of your list. Annihilate Me 2, Vol 2 is fabulous as a stand alone novel. As a fan of the series, it is a captivating continuation of an ever-changing journey. There is something for everyone in this amazing title: adventure, suspense, romance, as well as humor. It is an amazing combination of personalities and experiences. The story sucks you in. Once started, it is impossible to walk away from. I received an ARC for an honest review. I would be writing this same review had I purchased the book at release. Christina Ross- You have achieved greatness again! I cannot wait for Annihilate Me 2, Vol 3.

[Vikki Hamer · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this as an ARC, and what can I say other than fantastic! I intended to read just the first chapter to see how it linked to the previous book and before I knew it two hours had passed and I was on the last chapter!

The book carries on smoothly from the previous one, with no inconsistencies. The story line is gripping with some unexpected turns. You just want to see how it all pans out.

The ending is a real cliffhanger which leaves you waiting for the final installment!

Recommend this book completely!

****May contain spoilers*****

What a horrific tragedy that has happened to this couple and their friends again. They never can seem to cut a break. Atlas the pulled through but being stuck on an island with so many creature around them. Spiders , boars, and tribes OH MY!!! Christina Ross has done it again. The whole time she had me on the edge of me seat. I cannot wait to see what happens in the next book. I hope it is not a real wait of it with that kind of ending. :) I know Jennifer will pull through and hopefully Cutter as well. Well done Christina Ross and thanks for sharing. Loved IT!!

I was given an ARC copy for an honest review.

First I need to say wow, this is a fast moving book filled with suspense and some very scary scences. Not a lot of romance but you feel love and sacrafice they are willing to take for each other between our main characters so its ok.

There is another cliffhanger (don't even know what to say about that) can't wait for the last book. Thank you Christina for another great installment.
