Catching Butterflies

Search for Home (The Escape Series, Book 2)

By: Sandra J. Jackson

Narrated by: Carrie Coello

April and Beth have escaped, and their captor is dead. Freedom is in their grasp - if only they knew where they were.

With some memories returning, April and Beth struggle to find answers to their questions. What they know is that they’ve been vaccinated against a strange virus. But what happened to their family, and to the rest of the world?

As they head out, they stumble onto the compound where their nightmare began, but the empty building only brings more mystery into their lives. Soon, they encounter others wandering on the numerous trails throughout the woods. For April, finding her family is priority one; for Beth, it's sticking to the trails.

How can April ever convince her to leave the forest...and why are they being hunted?

Love it!

I was given a copy of this Audio Book in return of my unbiased review.

This is the second book in a series and I did purchase and listen to the first book prior to this one.
It is a great YA series about two sisters that have escaped being used as test subjects and their search to find their family. While I really enjoyed the story, I found the sisters immature and annoying at times but if I had been locked up for years away from my family and society I might be the same. That being said this is a well written book that kept me listening! The narrator is very good and makes it easy to tell who is who with different voices.
Bottom line I would have purchased this book to listen to if I had not been given a copy and intend to finish the series!!

We made it

I like the mystery, the love, the sadness and they made it finally they made it home. Yes I would recommend this book definitely
The Escape series success.

Catching Butterflies

I received this audible story for free in exchange for a honest review. I recommend you read the first book in the series.😎

Good listen

I did not listen to the first books, but feel it probably would have made this book better for me. I did enjoy it, but I felt I missed too much not having listened to book one previously. I give this book a 3.5 star rating rounded to 4. I just couldn't connect with the characters, again probably because I had not listened to book one.

wonderfully narrated post- apocalyptic adventure!

I was gifted a copy of this Audiobook by @elderberrytales and Carrie Coello for my honest review.

.

Let me start by saying I did not read the first book in this series and jumped right in to the second book. April and Beth are two sisters who have just escaped their captors and are trying to find their way back to civilization. They have very little memories and struggle to fight through the haze. With only the contents of their backpacks to aid them, they brave the unfamiliar woods.

.

They know they've been vaccinated against a strange virus, but they have no idea what has happened to their family or the rest of the world in the meantime.

.

Held captive at a facility in the woods called C.E.C.I.L, they were subjected to mind control drugs and brainwashing. Now they must try to find their parents and see if anything has survived the deadly outbreak. April has the strange sensation that they're still being watched and hunted. April knows they need to leave the trails and look for help, but Beth is still caught in the mind control and refuses to leave the dangerous looping trails.

.

There wasn't a whole lot of action in the first half of this book, but it did fill you in on the events of the first book, so I didn't feel like I'd missed anything by starting with book two.

.

Both girls have special abilities, which you will learn in the story, no spoilers here. All the children from the facility with special abilities have a hidden butterfly tattoo on the back of their necks. Hence the title, catching Butterflies. 🦋 The second half was redeeming and filled in a lot of questions and just enough information to keep you guessing for another book.

.

I enjoyed this one, as did my 11 year old, and I'd read the third book to fill in more of the puzzle of the strange outbreak and how the world has changed in the aftermath. I liked most of the characters and the narrator made it easy to tell who was speaking with alternating voices which I appreciated!

.

I would recommend this book to my fellow, sci-fi, post apocalyptic, adventure lovers.
