Shapeshifters Control Our Lives!
The frightening power of vampires, werewolves, and lycanthropes has lived within our nightmares for centuries, failing to be reasoned out by the rapid advances in science and technology. The truth is that they are very much a part of our reality. However, they are merely the genetically inferior offspring of a more powerful race, known as doppelgangers, who evolved alongside humankind. These shapeshifters adopted a secretive yet manipulative approach when dealing with us, feeding off the sexual desires of men to sustain their society…until desperate times forced a new order.
Christopher Sands, a rising investment banker, was just another victim in a long list of doppelganger schemes. Framed for a crime he wouldn’t commit and watching his family fade farther and farther from his prison bars, Chris makes an unbelievable discovery; shapeshifters aren’t the only race with supernatural abilities. Can he find the strength to accept an even worse fate than prison to not only save his son, but all humankind? Will Michael Sands be able to control the spirits that haunt him to finish what his father cannot?

This
novel brings to life the ultimate conspiracy theory, which states
aliens walk among us and are even among the elite powers of the United
States. In this novel, based on females morphing in to a male to control
places of power within the United States, the story revolves around a
matriarch society’s quest to take over humankind. The basis of the book
wasn't terrible. It made for an intriguing story line and created
enough suspense and action to make it an enjoyable read.
I
had difficulty really delving into the storyline. Many of the events
seemed as though they were underdeveloped. I would have liked the search
for the truth take up a little more room on the pages. The mystery
surrounding the dopplegangers seemed just briefly touched upon, even
though it was the best part of the story. I enjoyed the
investigation and the chasing of clues much more than the fighting and
sex scenes, which, for me, were overdone. Another issue I had while
reading, was feeling disconnected from the characters. Reading the book
seemed more like I was watching a
movie with the interesting background on the characters rushed. I don’t
feel I really had any more insight
in to the characters than I would have if I had watched the movie based
on the book.
Overall,
I would label this a decent book. The story, while maybe not unique,
was gripping and had enough tension and energy to keep me interested. I
would recommend this book to anyone looking for a nice paranormal
thriller which is also a quick read.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
