Wow, just wow.  This book was both hard to put down and hard to read.  The subject matter is very difficult, especially when you truly realize how real black market slavery and abductions are in this world.  It's something people don't think about, but it's very much so alive.  This is definitely not the path I would have envisioned this series taking after having read Freak of Nature, yet it fits it beautifully.  Kaitlin is not only an amazing engineering and modern technology feat, but her past memories and experiences helped her assist Aaliyah through her recovery.  Because of the deeper and more emotional subject matter in this book, those who loved Freak of Nature may or may not like this second book in the series as much.The reading POV switches between Lucas, Kaitlyn and Aaliyah.  It's done very seamlessly and only ever at the start of new chapters, not right in the middle of a chapter; that makes it very easy to follow along with the storyline.  The storyline itself moves fluctuates between fast-paced and slower, fitting very well with whatever section of the story we are in.The characters are still as loveable as ever.  Kaitlyn learns to integrate by leaps and bounds, but as a reader I found myself cringing at her faux-pas'.  We get to know Erik a little more, and he becomes a likeable character.  Harrington still strikes me as a little off; I believe his intentions are good, but he doesn't appear to have a strong enough confidence to carry through very hard difficulties that I could foresee them facing in future Kaitlyn adventures.**SPOILERS**My only thoughts about what could have been expanded upon was when Kaitlyn first barges in on Aaliyah, she is told "NO!"  but then you later have her visiting Aaliyah without any problems.  I feel like some big jump happened there.  The second thing was at the end with the finding of the other captives, that whole process happens in just a matter of paragraphs and I think it would have been nice to slow down that part a little bit.**I received this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion**
