With the conclusion of "Embryo", Intern Jill Raney and Obstetrician David Levine were finally safe; their nightmare was over, the maniac was dead and everyone could breathe a sigh of relief. But were they safe? With Jill and David on three days leave to recuperate from the trauma, they reluctantly returned to work feeling drained, tired and in need of more time off. This is where "Embryo 2" commences, so the two stories blend well.Bombarded by crowds of waiting media and onlookers as they tried to enter the hospital, they were shocked to learn of their "celebrity status". Everyone wanted a piece of them, handing them flowers, wanting autographs; obsession didn't cover it. Jill and David were ushered through the crowd to be greeted by their friends and colleagues with tears and hugs. They were told their first day back would be quiet so they could settle back in...it wasn't meant to be, with David being called immediately to a delivery, and Jill to an emergency.Suddenly the horror was beginning again, with women being brutally raped and attacked, and a message written on each victims' stomach. With the police immediately involved, they worked out that the two of them were being targeted once again, with death threats against them, plus the six month old unborn fetus; the miracle in the test tube.Pushed to investigate the current atrocities, Jill and David hoped to save the lives of others as well as their own. But the madman who was after them was devious, sly, obsessed and completely off the radar. The clues were miniscule but they were there. As the pace picked up, the clock was ticking and the race was on. Would they find the psychopathic killer before it was too late? Would Jill and David survive this time? And what about Jesse?I absolutely loved this book! A brilliant follow up to the first novel by Schneider, and I've just learned there's a third in the works! A medical thriller of gripping proportions, I encourage everyone who loves a good psychological thriller to give this series a go!
