...captivated...: The Enclave, pt. 1 of 3

by Karen Hancock

Description:
When Lacey McHenry accepts a prestigious research fellowship at the world-renowned Kendell-Jakes Longevity Institute, she sees it as a new start on life. But a disturbing late-night encounter with an intruder leads to an unexpected cover-up by Institute authorities, and she soon realizes there's more going on than she ever imagined.
She finds a supporter in genetics researcher Cameron Reinhardt. However, Reinhardt is a favorite of the Institute's director, and she can't help wondering if he, too, is in on the cover-up. The brilliant but absentminded researcher turns out to have his own secrets, some of them dark and deadly. The Enclave is characterized by adventure, intrigue, spiritual analogy, and romance, all set in an unusual but fully realized world--one that may have its foundations on earth but which, the more one learns of it, doesn't seem much like the earth we know at all.

My Rating: 5 Stars!

Random Thoughts & Comments:

This book intrigued me from the very beginning. A tad bit of romance, adventure, and distorted creatures drew me through chapter after chapter. The end left me wanting it to become a series, but it could lose the magic very easily in a sequel.

There was a little bit of immodest clothing mentioned in the book, but no indication of what the author's opinion of immodest apparel is. I kept on waiting to hear something about it, but no such luck. Maybe it's just me, but it seemed a little weird. Or maybe she did mention it and I just didn't catch it.
