Totality

Eclipsed Evolution: Phase 2

De: Kim Harrison

Narrado por: Xe Sands

After a solar eclipse opens a way between our world and a paranormal realm, and the dark side of first contact emerges, one woman’s loyalties will be tested in this gripping serialized adventure from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Hollows series.

Dr. Renee Caisson never expected that her scientific expertise would lead to a role playing interpreter between humans and the demonic-looking Neighbors. When the door between their worlds opened, she was drafted by the government to study the otherworldly beings and was able to prove her theory: the Neighbors had been to Earth before—and now they simply wanted to save their dying planet.

At least, that’s the story, and everyone—both human and Neighbor—is sticking to it. The Neighbor in charge of the new portal’s operation, Noel, isn’t that sure anymore. Having succeeded in finding a new planet to inhabit, the leaders of her world have made the dark truth of their existence clear to her: the Neighbors forcibly tried to make a foothold on Earth in the past—and they can’t afford to fail again.

But the Neighbors’ ability to magically teleport from place to place has convinced Major Jackson that the only way to keep control of the situation is to embrace it and tell the world of the Neighbors’ existence.

Unfortunately, not everyone agrees.

Great story. Second book is short

Good continuation of the the 1st series but really short. This book could have used more depth .

compelling story

I enjoyed the character development and the plot twists. I liked also how they are finding commonalities despite the major differences between the races and worlds. I look forward to the next installment.

Excellent series. So so narrator

Excellent first contact series.

Narrator is a bit unrealistically demure/whiny to represent trained military professionals. Good enough though

outstanding

The complex world building and beautiful story are woven in with complex and subtle intrigue.

The parallels to our own world are amazing.

Great series!

Kim has created another amazing world. My only complaint is that the audible series is too short. 3 parts are not enough.. I need more! ❤️

Too short!

I'm hooked in the world and want more! Narrator still isn't my favorite. Too much whispering and everyone sounds around 80 years old and they are not supposed to be. But, I did get used to it, so I'll keep listening, but would have been better with a different narrator.

So captivating!

I got through this one so fast because I could not stop listening to it! The way this story is told and the depth of the characters have definitely made me feel like I am part of the story itself. I cannot wait to listen to the next one!

TOO SHORT!

Books 1 & 2 should have been put together. Great story, over too soon. Not worth an extra credit.

Three books could have been one or two

I loved this series, but I was miffed that three books could have been two. The second split was not necessary. More importantly, I hated the ending of the third. You are left hanging with so many questions. It felt unfinished.

Your third book should have been the unanswered questions. We need an ending.

Read it with your eyes

The story has an interesting premise. However the listening experience was cumberson. An abundance of vocal fry and a shortage of projections made several sections of this book a difficult listen.
