LIFEBLOOD is a young adult book part of the Everlife series by Gena Showalter. Though I did not read book one I was able to pick up book two LIFEBLOOD and dive right into the series. Gena Showalter did a great job of letting you know what happened in the last book without overdoing it.

When I started the book I did not think I was going to enjoy it, Ten is big into numbers and thinks about everything using numbers and describing what they mean. Plus she writes and thinks up poems, two of my least favorite things: numbers and poetry. Amazingly though, she did a really good job of keeping me in the story and uses the numbers and descriptions well. I may even have learned something. Gena Showalter has created a fascinating world, with good characters and you will enjoy following them. The outcome of their lives will change the world as they know it.
