OH MY GOSH!!!! OH MY GOSH!!!!!! First let me say I received an ARC for an honest review and oh my gosh! Yes, I can't stop saying this. I just put the book down and feel like I'm going to die waiting for Vol 2 to come out. Christina Ross, oh my goodness. She knows how to grab a reader and not let go. This book was amazing! I have so many thoughts in my head and will be anxiously waiting for the next book, please let it be out sooner rather than later. If you have been a fan of the Annihilate Me series you are going to love this one! If you aren't, then where have you been? You must read this entire series. I am one of Christina's biggest fans and she has yet to let me down. This was a long book, which I loved, I again fell head over heels for all the main characters in the book and also have started questioning some of the others, Christina's writing is fantastic. I ended this book sitting on the edge of my seat with my heart beating almost out of my chest and tears running down my face. You did it again, Christina!! Now please hurry with Vol. 2!!

Oh my gosh!!!!! I can't even stand to hope that everyone is ok as well as the baby!!!! It makes me wonder if the plane was met with foul play so that Rowe could sweep in and become CEO of Wenn. But if he was behind the heating system failure I hope he goes to prison for murder if no one comes out alive. Although I hope they all come out alive. I actually hope it was a dream and they are still in the air about to land in Singapore. When will part 2 of this be out? And can we have some good news???? I think Alex and Jenn have had enough bad to last the rest of their lives. Only good from here on out same with Lisa and Tank they have had bad happen to them too I want only good for them from now on!!!!! Oh please let them all be all right!!!!!!

Christine Ross keeps you wanting more. I couldn’t wait to read the next book to see who survived the plane crash and who doesn’t. Also loved how Jennifer put Stephen Rowe in his place when she got the goods on him about his mistress. She always had Alex’s back. She is very smart and knows how to work it.

Alex and Jennifer
These two are at it again, this time fighting for their company and maybe their life. With all their closest friends now also in danger, who will be able to help? Who will be able to save them? Must keep reading to find out. Cliffhanger for sure!

Annihilate Me Vol. 1 was great, this book steps up the bar. This is comedy mixed with intrigue. There is a huge cliffhanger at the end of this book.

“Annihilate Me, 2: Volume 1” by Christina Ross follows the continuing story of Jennifer and Alexander Wenn right where the “Annihilate Me (Volume 1)” series left off. If you haven’t read “Annihilate Me (Volume 1)” and the “Unleash Me” series you could still start with this book, but it would not be the same rich story that “Annihilate Me, 2” is with that additional reading. You need the backgrounds of all of the characters and how they got to where they are today. I recommend you read the other books first, you won’t be sorry.
From the first page I was once again taken in by the world Jennifer and Alexander live in and I was excited to see that all of my favorite characters are back. Alex’s company is being threatened by dropping stock prices due to a new product release and Wall Street’s lack of confidence in how well it would be received. That being the case, the Board of Directors of Wenn Enterprises, who should be behind their CEO, Alexander, are not 100% supportive and it looks like one of them wants to force Alexander out and take over his position. But don’t count Alex out, he is a “Genius” as Jennifer tells the reporters who swarm her at the entrance of Wenn Enterprises and he runs the company “Brilliantly”. From that point on it is a fight to negate the bad publicity and emphasize the positive in Wenn Enterprises. It’s not all business, there is the personal intrigue with the “snobs” in the circles that Alexander moves in and who don’t think Jennifer is good enough for Alex.
Jennifer is no slouch though and she finds a way to get “dirt” on the board members who aren’t in Alex’s corner and uses a social event to let them know in no uncertain terms to lay off else she would out their hidden lives. If that isn’t enough, there is a tragic death and an airplane crash and a cliff hanger ending which will leave you gasping NO before you realize you just have to wait for the next book in the series, “Annihilate Me 2: Vol.2”. I can tell you I can’t wait for that book and I just wish Christina posted the publishing date for that one on her Facebook page so I could put it on my calendar so I don’t miss it when it comes out.
I received the book as an ARC for an honest review and I recommend it to anyone who loves romance, deep friendships, fashion, suspense and the business world. If you do then once again, this is the series for you.

*I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Annihilate Me 2: Vol. 1 in exchange for an honest review.*
There is a reason why Christina Ross will be one of my favorite authors... she writes stories that are captivating, intriguing, enthralling, and supremely well-written. Annihilate Me 2: Vol. 1 is a continuation of the Annihilate Me Series. It is an intense and incredible love story that grabs you at the cover page and keeps you in it's grip until the very last page and even then you are left with wanting more!
As with all of Christina Ross's books, this story will suck you in and keep you on a roller coaster of emotions. I love being caught up in the characters Ms. Ross develops. You get to experience the journey of her characters right along with them and can't help but care for them. Christina. Ross has that ability to keep her readers guessing constantly. There are so many unknowns and just when you think you know what is going on, she adds another twist to throw you off. Prepare yourself for an ending that will shock you to your core and leave you gasping for breathe.

OMG I need more of this story like now!
I received an ARC of Annihilate Me 2 Vol 1 in exchange for an honest review.
I have read the first three books in this series and at first I found it was difficult to catch up with the characters since I missed a couple of books in between, however that was short lived. I was drawn back in to the story in no time. The characters were as I remembered them and I didn't have any trouble keeping up with the story line.
The writing is very good and you'll want to keep reading if only to see what Alex and Jennifer are up to next. Blackwell is her old self in this one and for me she makes the story. I find myself enjoying the parts where her over the top character has a part.
I found there to be some surprises throughout, towards the middle and the end of the book but I also found myself skimming just a bit because I wanted to see what was going to happen. Now that I know what happened I want the next book like now!!
Thanks Christina for giving us more of Alex and Jennifer. If you haven't read this series yet it's a recommended read.

OMG! I don't even know where to begin! I don't even know what to say!! I am shaken!!! I received an ARC for an honest review for this book. Ms. Ross knows that her Annihilate Me series has always been my favorite, along with Unleash Me series, and if you haven't read these you need to read them before you read this one! But by all means, read the first two series..you will not regret it! I read this book in less than 24 hours, could not put it down. I am totally shocked at the ending of this book, and do not know if I can mentally or physically wait for the 2nd one, but obviously I have no choice. I won't go into details, but Alex and Jennifer are definitely your Cinderella and Prince Charming couple who are so devoted to each other, and to their friends. Their love affair is second to none, their business tactics are right on. Do yourself a favor, if you haven't read starting with Annihilate Me series, go purchase them, I believe you will fall in love with Alex and Jennifer, Tank and Lisa and Blackwell too....

I remember why I love this series so much!
Jennifer, Alex, Lisa, Tank, Blackwell, Bernie...all my favorite characters back together again! I do feel the need to say read the Annihilate Me and Unleashed series before you start Annihilate Me 2. This is not a stand alone series. It is also a total cliffhanger series ( as we're the other two I mentioned). Thankfully, the author gets the books out fast. Now, on to the plot...Wenn Enterprises is in trouble, something is wrong with Jennifer, the board is trying to force Alex out, Blackwell's daughters are home, and the press is on the offensive against them. Nothing is going right except for the bond between Jennifer and Alex. Problem after problem keeps the suspense rolling throughout the book. Unfortunately, the hits keep coming, and the final hit is the worst. I was blown away by the unbelievable cliffhanger ending. My mind is blown, and I keep wondering if the author seriously went there. If it goes where I think it may in the next book, I'm just not sure my heart will survive it. Love, love, love these books!

Speechless!!!
I don't even know what to say right now I am lost for words.. I think I'm still trying to process what happen.. I love this book I love the whole series but this book was by far the best.. I am still in tears I had to read the last chapter twice just to make sure I read correctly... I still hoping for that last page to say.. "I hear faint screams and then I realize it's me.. I jerk up and try to grasp a breath heart beating cover in sweat and then I realize it was all a dream.." I hope the next book starts like that... but I did not see any of this coming and that's why I loved this book.. I'm not even going to spoil it for future readers this whole series is worth reading especially this book and what is surprising is I loathe authors that leave cliff hangers but I'm not mad at all.. can't wait for next book..WOW JUST WOW!!

I received and arc for an honest review... And I got to say Christina Ross this is by far the best yet and can't wait til the next !!! With that said on with the reveiw ....., The beginning is of Jen and Alex showing that even through rough times that they have each other's back thru all the horrors they face .... Continuing with all of the luv ones that surround them and support them thru it all. Blackwell of course is my fav but Jen also shines right thru the light of Blackwell in this one and I luved the banters that they both throw at each other and also the ones they have with the other characters.... Then u hit me at the end with WHAT? HOW? WHY ? WHOM ? NO !!!! ACCIDENT ??? I'm on edge of knowing what's coming next .... Can't wait for the second book !!!
November 21, 2014
I have received an ARC copy of Annihilate Me 2: Vol. 1 in exchange for my honest review. As always I absolutely love reading these books and look forward to each new one that comes out. I love Jennifer and Alex together and just chuckle with everything Blackwell has to say. Without giving too much away about the book, I leave you with this. I experienced all kinds of emotions with this particular book while reading it. It started out as excitement, concern, love, excitement again, then I was sad, upset and crying. It was a cliffhanger folks but, I AM definitely looking forward to the next book in this series coming out. Forever a fan of Christina Ross!
December 4, 2014
I recieved an ARC of ths book in exchange for an honest review. Christina Ross and gone and done it again. She wrote another amazing book in the Annihilate Me Series. The story continues and follows not only Alex and Jennifer and whats happening with Wenn Enterprises, but Blackwell, Lisa and Tank. You get to catch up on Blackwell's daughters and just roll over laughing so hard at all the banter that these two girls throw at each other. I have never laughed so hard at some of the things Blackwell says and cried so much as I read the last chapter ( had to read it twice to believe what I was reading). Christina is an amazing author and I can not wait to read more in this series.
March 2, 2015
I'm hooked! I was hooked from first series of book and this volume has me on the edge of my seat. Jennifer is tougher, Blackwell is snippier, and by golly the storyline is so quick that I can't keep up. You have to love the fight Jennifer has when it comes to her husband. She has always been fearless but this book shows just how NOT to cross a wife's path when it comes to what she holds dear to her heart. I can' wait for the continuation of this series. I just know that I will be on edge when I turn the last page in this book.

Ok I will mimic what everyone else is saying OMG!!! I cannot wait for the next Vol. I do not want to spoil it for anyone so I will not go into details but I am hoping there will be a twist and it is not a reality!!! I LOVE this series and I LOVE all the characters and they are all so well described you feel like you are right there with them. Do yourself a favor start at the beginning of this love story Annihilate me Vol 1 and read them all and her Unleash me series you will love these characters as much as I do.

Alex and Jennifer's happiness and misfortunes are back again. As soon as things seem to be semi ok something bad happens. Another page turner for me especially the end of the book. Oh my I am glad the next book is waiting on me because waiting for a new book would have killed me. I must say this group of friends seem to be always in some kinda of predicament. I do hope that it all turns out in the next book but it was not looking promising. I'm. It sure I will be ok losing any of them. It was a great read. Now on to the next.
November 21, 2014
Holy cliffhanger!
wow, christina Ross does not disappoint in this new book. word is the next installment is out sometime in Jan 2015. i just wonder where it goes from where we are left. I love all the characters and I am hoping someone was having a bad acid trip and dreamed the whole thing up. I mean stranger things have happen right? if not I think we all write alternative endings.

I was one of the precious few who was able to get an ARC copy of this book as long as I gave an honest review and here it is!!! Christina had me captivated as I read this book. She has taken my heart on a rollercoaster ride. My head is spinning with all of the words I have read and I’m in tears over the ending of this book….Please, please don’t let this be the end of so many wonderful characters I have grown to love. Christina Ross is an exceptional writer!!!

For transparency sake, I received an ARC for an honest review of ANNIHILATE ME 2 Volume 1.
With that said. another fantastic read by Christina Ross! In ANNIHILATE ME 2 the characters are further developed and you can’t put the book down. And the cliffhanger… I had to read twice because I couldn’t believe it! Christina knows the true meaning of a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to see what happened next to Alex and Jennifer. Hurry up Christina and publish the next volume, please.

Wow! I have read all in the Annihilate Me series and they keep getting better and better. This one though knocked me for a loop at the end. I hate cliffhangers but again, WOW!!! What a cliffhanger. I cannot wait for volume 2. It's going to be a long wait....
Christina Ross has characters that are well fleshed out and a couple of them are quite hysterical. I don't like to give spoilers so all I'll really say is...this series is definitely worth it!

Book by book, volume by volume, I've followed this series until I've hit my saturation point. I don't think I can take anymore. I like the characters and the intrigue, but this story is spinning out too long. I need a cheat sheet to keep up with the volumes! All those bits and pieces -- it's too much effort for too little reward. Maybe a simple trilogy would have been more palatable to a reader like me.
January 2, 2015
It started off slow but started to get in to it towards the end. I don't know what to say about the ending. I have read every book in this series and the ending / cliff hanger in this one left me kind of mad. I'm hoping that it was just a dream and that it really dosent happen that way! So now I'm counting for the next book!
November 22, 2014
Omg
you did it again....and have left me and all your readers hanging...and for how long??? This book was full of excitement...so many ups and downs...tears..laughter...and now we wait. AGAIN...hopefully not for very long. You are the best Christina...don't keep us in suspense too long...it's a killer.

Excellent read, buy it and the rest of her books, you will not be disappointed.

Let me start by saying I'm only 1/3 of the way through this book. I finished reading book 1 today and immediately picked up book 2. Book 2 skips way, way, way ahead. Book 2 is NOT edited at all. I will finish this because I would like to know what happens but so far I'm not liking it.
Update: just finished this book and I did not like it at all.

This series will cause neglect to children!
After the first annihilate me series, I didn't think it could get any better ... How wrong was I? Had me glued to my kindle so much I've read 5 books in 4 days... Love this series so much. Great reading, funny and emotional. Definitely worth 5 stars!
