Okay. Its been ages since I read [b:The Final Six|36491465|The Final Six (The Final Six, #1)|Alexandra Monir|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1509198386l/36491465._SY75_.jpg|57688964]; so I had to go back and refresh my memory (you can read my review here) but I do remember it having a plot that I was absolutely fascinated with!

But let me be clear; this is NOT a standalone – it is part of a duology that should be read in order, or you will be lost like this group of teenagers might be in space; while trying to find an inhabitable planet for us Earthens to live in, considering the mess we have made of our current planet!

With The Life Below, Alexandra Monir has given us a sequel (and an ending) that deserved a whole round of applause. No matter, how much we cheer for teenagers to be our saviours in fiction – it isn’t exactly a probable scenario; for readers to digest that the fact the fate of our planet rests on the shoulders of hormonal teenagers, no matter how brilliantly it is written :P

But suspending that fact was easier with this sequel – amazingly written; with an addition of the spookiness of being in the space – and the fact that it is a do or die situation; had me on tender hooks, every single time I turned the page (figuratively!).

I had known that this would be a duology; but that ending? Now that ending has me questioning everything I had ever known about this world – The author has done fan – freaking – tastic job of actually building up to this EXACT endingl but you wouldn’t know for sure until you actually reach the last page!
