A Stranger Thing

A Stranger Thing by Martin Leicht and Isla Niel is the second book in the Ever-Expanding Universe series.  The first novel ended with our pregnant heroine Elvie is about to give birth with her hot alien Baby Daddy by her side.  This book begins with the childbirth and then Elvie and her baby (who is shockingly a girl) are sent to Antarctica, a prison for the Almari.   When a group of hybrid aliens show up Elvie must fight to save the world and her baby.

I adored the first book because it was totally hysterical while maintaining an exciting plot.  This book followed well in it's footsteps, giving the reader delightful absurdity along with an exciting plot full of twists and turns.  Elvie's status as a teen mom means that she has someone beside herself to worry about and the babies needs have to come before everything else.  I sped through this book and adored every twist and turn (and every super hot alien babydaddy).

Appropriateness:  I'd recommend this book to readers 14+.  There was no sex (or other adult content) in this book (although there's a bit in the previous book as the main character is a teen mom).  Elvie learns that substance matters as much as looks and that her indiscretion means that she's forever stuck to the beautiful but dimwitted alien babydaddy (which is a nice thing to talk about).
