#Bookreview of Symbiosis (Justice Keepers Saga Book 1) by R.S. Penney

BLURB:

While Anna tries to adapt and survive in a strange, hostile environment, she accidentally uncovers a conspiracy that will shake their world to its foundations.

REVIEW:

From my TBR list of 2016. 

This is one of those books that’s hard to make a judgement call on.  I had to force myself to finish it just because I liked the storyline. Though I figured out what was going to happen between the two main characters – Anna & Jack- way before the halfway mark. 

Anna is a Justice Seeker looking for an alien that was kidnapped and brought to Earth.  There she runs into Jack, an ordinary down-in-the luck type of person.  He doesn’t know what he wants to do with his life.  Yada, Yada.  After he gets entangled with Anna’s quest, his whole world changes.  Now, he’s put his sister in danger from one of the most powerful and evil men on Earth. 

Like I said before, I had to force myself to keep reading.  And the reason why are the same complaints in the other 2 and 3 stars reviews left for this book.  Everyone, and I mean everyone, kept hanging their heads, bowing to each other, clasping hands behind their backs, moping their faces.  Sigh.  It was teeth-clenching unbearable.   

Since I downloaded this book back in 2-016, I thought I’d go back and read the sample chapters just to see if it had been re-edited.  Sadly, no it hasn’t  Which means I’m not even interested in trying to read the next book in the series. 

If this ebook were free or only 99 cents, I’d recommend buying it.  But save your money until it is.  Creativia puts all their ebooks on sale or free every 90 days, so just keep an eye out.  I give it 3 stars and that’s being generous.
