How unlucky can a bunch of teenagers be? While they were just minding their own business on some military training ground, they first encounter some rapist, then H.A.L.F 9 and to top that they are finally held at gunpoint by the military. Just another weekend I guess. This was one of these books wer...
*I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. We pick up where the second book, The Makers, ended with our characters. They are all still separate in a work of turmoil as a few major cities on Earth are attacked by a deadly alien. Erika, Jack, Ian,...
Natalie Wright’s H.A.L.F. Origins, the conclusion to the H.A.L.F. series, will delight her faithful audience. The series, which is aimed at young adults, skillfully mixes science fiction, politics, and heart. The trio’s journey, which took them all briefly along different paths, has brought them ba...
Even though I really liked The Deep Beneath, I ran out of steam on The Makers about halfway through. It’s not that it was a bad book (it really isn’t), but it does suffer from a little bit of sequel-itis. I did finish the book, but it was a conscious effort on my part to do so, rather than any parti...
The Deep Beneath was a well-written young adult science fiction novel. It introduces us to the characters we will follow throughout the next two books.

(I got a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.)I can't say I liked this novel. Although the premise grabbed my attention, the story turned out to be too overdone to my liking. It partly had to do with the source of H.A.L.F. 9's non-human side. It r...
This is the first installment of Natalie's three part series and is a fast paced story that although it's marketed for a Young Adult audience, I believe anyone would enjoy, I'm in my mid 40's and I loved it.The story has many twists and turns ensuring that you won't put the book down. There's always...
