This is the most fun read I have had in a long time. Mothership is listed as YA but it is
really for all ages. It is book
One of the Ever Expanding Universe but what is expanding the most is the baby
bumps each of the girls are sporting.
So we have a Science Fiction book about pregnant teenagers. This should be a serious topic but the
twist the authors put on why and how they ended up where they are is what is so
unusual.
There are serious moments and a lot of danger in the
story. Elvie Nara is the main
character in the book and she is a Jill of all trades. Her father made sure she knows how to
fix almost anything and that skill is what saves lives when everything starts
to go bad.
Elvie reminds me a little of Kitty Katt, Gini Koch’s
character in her Alien books.
Elvie has a solution for everything, is the leader when danger arrives
and like Kitty has a very smart mouth.
The two main males in her life are very different. Ducky has been her friend for most of
her life and offers her as much support as he can when she is sent to school
located in space and he is on Earth.
Cole, father of her baby bump, is part of the rescue mission that arrives
at the school (No one knew they needed rescuing). You don’t want to like him but he does grow on you as the
book progresses. There are some
good secondary characters. Elvie’s
Father is wonderful and when you get to know him you understand how Elvie’s
mind works.
The writing in Mothership is great, the plot is fun and the characters are
marvelous. What more could you
want is a book?
I go this book from Amazon Vine and I can’t wait for the
next one. The ending of Mothership
is a cliffhanger but like the rest of the book it is not one anyone would have
expected. Hurry up book two.
