It had been a little over a year since I had read Matthew C. Plourde's book, Eden, so I was more than thrilled when offered the chance to read the second installment in the series, Babylon! Because of the amount of time that had passed, I was afraid that I may not be pulled in to the story the way I had been before, or that I'd have trouble catching up; boy, was I wrong! My eyes were glued to the pages from the very beginning, as I was brought back to a world of pain, suffering, isolation and extreme perseverance. The battle between Good and Evil has never been more fierce, or more confusing. If you're a fan of Eden, then you will certainly become an even bigger fan of Babylon!In the first book, the world itself has fallen apart. Mountains have crumbled and the sea is nothing but dust. Heaven above and Hell below have opened their gates, throwing Alexandra into the midst of it all in hopes of saving mankind. We were there with her as she struggled with her new identity, coming to terms with who she truly is and what she was put on this Earth to do. And by the end of the story, we felt that she done just that. We were wrong. In following her heart, she may have made an unwise decision, unleashing an even greater threat upon the Earth. Torn between what she knows is right, and fear of losing her only true love yet again, and this time forever, Alexandra must stand up and fight and undo the damage that has been done.I know, just another book series about the apocalypse... But it's not! This series is much different than those I have come across in recent years, and offers a fresh new take on the end of the world and how it comes about. I promise, you will not be disappointed after reading these books, especially Babylon! Read it!
