The X Factor is the intriguing second book in the Apocalypse Babe series. In the book the characters continue to grow and their relationships change drastically from the first book.Seffy is in even more danger and Trent it seems is the only one available to step in and save her. His forced hand triggers feelings he tried to deny and Seffy wants nothing to do with. But as they bond and grow closer neither of them can seem to overlook the fact that they can turn to one another. When Seffy's friends start to act weird and pull away, Trent is the only one who seems to want what's best for her, but are his motives genuine? Seffy can't seem to trust him fully, or anyone for that matter.But when Seffy finds herself in worse trouble than ever before who will it be that rescues her this time?Reading this series is like meeting up with old friends. I've only read a few books like that and I really enjoy the dynamic. It's a comfortable and soothing series to read, as if I'm not reading a book but looking in on my friend's lives. I've enjoyed the suspense and the ability to investigate with Trent and Seffy. I've grown a place in my literary heart for Trent and I really hope that he starts getting cut a little slack! Seffy has gone from someone you can't tolerate to someone you can't help but feel sorry for. She just seems to have the worst luck.I definitely recommend this series to readers, even if you're not into the whole zombie Apocalypse theme. The series is written in a way that the genre isn't overwhelming the story and you can really tell how much thought went into the characters and their back stories and that this series is much more about their stories than it is about "the end of the world".
