I recently read this book “Replaced” by Emma Harrison, which seemed quite interesting from the title cover.

The story itself is stimulating yet humorous, and the protagonists are all winsome. However, I felt dubious with some parts of the story. The most loathsome thing about the story was the cynical personality of the villain. Throughout the book, the villain missed numbers of opportunities to kill the protagonists.
For instance, the villain shot Sydney, the main character, but astonishingly, she was alive. Nevertheless, the villain did not shoot her again even she spontaneously woke up in front of him. Also, when the villain abducted Sydney, he was absurdly incautious that he got shot in his head by Sydney’s companion. In my opinion, I speculated for the book to be realistic. Despite of my inclination for the realistic stories, the plot was lacking in reasonable explanation.

I would recommend this book for those people who enjoys mystery novels who can have a preferences for idealistic stories.

Set during season 4, this book finds the APO team racing to find a cure for Weiss's disease, something he picked up on a mission. As much as I loved the show when I read this book, the characters acted stupidly and the plot got boring. It wasn't a complete loss, but I didn't read any of the further books.

Read my full review at Carstairs Considers.

I'll give it three stars because it was good for what it was. I don't think anyone expects an Alias tie-in book to be a great piece of literature, but it was entertaining enough and the characterizations were well done.
