In Fractured Innocence, the sequal to Freak of Nature, we see the story jump between Kate & Erik (and of course Lucas and some new characters) and Aaliyah, a victim of a horrible crime.  Aaliyah's story broke my heart.  She was a happy-go-lucky typical teenager until the day she & her little brother get abducted based on her rare look (she is dark skinned with blue eyes) and are brought to a horrible man named Vance who is a child trafficer.  Aaliyah suffers in unmentionable ways, and we wonder throughout the whole book if she will survive and be saved in time.  We finally see Kate & Erik go on their first mission, accompanied by a jerkwad of a friend from Erik's past, Ace.  Ace is gruff and abrasive and jealous and a total douche.  But he does redeem himself in my eyes, and makes for some good giggles along the way.This book was a great read and brought attention to a HUGE problem that is still rampant in the world today.  My wish is that somehow, someway, someday, these people can be stopped.
