> 3 dayI loved Lieskes first book Not What She Seems so when I saw this new book I knew I had to try it out too. I am so glad I did because this was such a fun, different, unique, refreshing read. This book has it all, some mystery, some romance, some action, some paranormal, great setting, great characters, I could go on and on. I am so excited to see what happens next with Shayne and Danielle and all their friends!

> 3 dayWill you be the next person to be overtaken? Or has it already happened? You may never know. If you read this book you will understand the extra meanings of the above questions. I enjoyed reading The Overtaking and look forward to the next book in the series. I am just starting to read romance novels and will only read ones like Victorine Lieske writes. I prefer books with no swear words and no sex scenes and Victorine delivers that along with a story that builds and draws me in as I read. I like the twists and turns Victorine put into this book, things I would never have thought would happen in a romance novel. There are many creative solutions to problems that come up and unexpected help for the main characters that kept me reading and wondering how things could possibly work out now. With this book Victorine has created characters that are very memorable too me and Im not talking about just the main characters. Even a very minor character, a little girl named Gita stands out in my mind. Victorines words created clear images in my mind as I got into the story. The characters seemed real, the events flowed naturally as the story progressed. If you like romances and some sci-fi/fantasy then you will enjoy The Overtaking. Robert Marda

> 3 dayAnother thrilling journey by this author! The Overtaking is well written, with its draw you in and keep you there pacing. This series will be a definite page turner since it features the perfect combination of action and romance. It may take a few chapters to get your bearings, dont fret, the writing will answer any questions you may have about the story. Victorine has no problems taking risks in the addictive alternate universe that she has created, a place where likeable characters can be killed off and the fate of your race is up to you to determine. I really hope the sequel is soon coming, because I cant wait to know what happens next!

Greater than one weekI was very impressed with this book. Had me hooked from the beginning. No frustrating, obvious grammatical errors that I have found prominent in most self-published books. The author focuses on the story and the romance without focusing on or involving sex. Making it appropriate for any age. I cant wait for book two! Not being a patient person, I hope its soon.

> 3 dayIm not much of a sci-fi fan, but the Overtaking was a really enjoyable read, feeling more like an urban fantasy or paranormal romance. The writing was fresh and fun, great turns of phrase and fast paced. Being an indie book, its also nice to point out that this read as clean as any book from a traditional publisher (no errors or typos, etc). The story kept me interested throughout, and I enjoyed the romantic elements. The romance between the main characters was set up really nicely, particularly with the set backs the romance kept facing, and how the characters re-approached their relationship each time. I would give this 5 stars, except that I wish it had ended more wrapped up. I understand there is a sequel coming, but I personally prefer a book to come to a more complete ending even with a sequel on its heels. I am totally hanging out for the sequel now though. I can see this story and world being developed into a great series.
