BABY is J.K. Accinni's first book in her ALIEN SPECIES INTERVENTION series, and what a great read it is. The important issues touching battered women, universal acceptance of all living beings, as well as unconditional love are all skillfully interwoven into the touching story of a young abused girl who manages to rise above her pain and humiliation to offer a helping hand to the suffering of others. I was glad to get this book gifted to me in exchange for an honest review, but now I must absolutely read the next two in the series.

Just finished Baby and I loved it!! I had an immediate connection to Netty and Baby and the author’s writing style made the pages fly by. Great descriptive imagery. I loved the setting. The author did a fantastic job of convincingly placing me into 1920’s rural New Jersey which is one of the last places I would think an "alien invasion" would take place. The specific problems of that decade served as a fascinating backdrop for this cautionary tale. I was devastated by parts of the story (don’t want to give too much away!) but was pleased by the closure at the end. I was also excited to find the first three chapters of the next book Echo at the end of the book. All I can say is WOW! I can’t wait to see how this alien story is going to play out for planet earth across space and time. Recommend to anyone looking for a fast paced adventure story. ( )

I understand this is like a prequal but I have never cried so hard over a book. The author painted a detailed atmosphere of rural Prohibition chicanery and the difficulties of life on the farm. Sprinkle in an abused heroine and dying alien and you have a recipe for an original story line.

The fact that the story will first charm you then rip out your heart is a testimony to the skills of the writer and her ability to suck you right in. Thank you Mr. Accinni.

I suspect we have not seen the end of Baby and Netty but just in case....PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!!

Netty is a young girl married to a much older, brutal husband; a corrupt judge, who has made his fortune as a bootlegger during Prohibition. After suffering years of his cruel and heartless treatment, Netty escapes, returning to the derelict farm where she once lived happily with her mother. While recovering from her injuries Netty discovers a strange alien creature who she calls Baby.

After taking Baby with her to the farm, Netty’s life takes a turn for the better. Through Baby’s ability to heal she becomes healthy, her farm produces wondrous and prolific produce and she is finally able to live a happy life. When a young man wanders onto her property, it seems that she may now have everything she wants. But something strange is happening to Netty and it is becoming increasingly difficult to hide her body’s changes from Wil and her neighbours.

But because of her new prosperity, her husband’s attention returns to her and Netty’s happy life soon becomes one of despair.

The book ends on quite a cliff hanger. Just what has become of Netty, Wil and Baby? I am already reading the second book in what I think will be a great series of six books. ( )

I bought this book from amazon.
Baby 6609 by JK Accinni

I totally loved the story and the characters. LOVE BABY!!! I did not foresee any of the events that took place halfway through the book to the end. What The Heck!! This story is very original and unique. It is a mix of the early 1940's with sci-fi twist. There is also tragedy, happiness, and other things that make this book GREAT! I for the life of me could not put it done and kept thinking about the scenes and the ending. I'm dying to read ECHO the next book in this series!! I'm wondering how it will tie into with this one. I think this author will only get better and better. My heart broke toward the end and ached for the characters all I keep thinking is WTH!! lol GREAT READ!!! MUST TRY!!

The story is about Netty who is a poor girl on a farm with her momma and papa. A nice man Mr Woods comes and brings gifts to her and her mother for the farm. One day a suitor finds interest in Netty, she finds herself thrust into a nightmare after that. She makes her escape many years later and returns to her family home. She works hard and gets the farm back up when she stumbles upon an odd but beautiful creature. Fearful of what will happen to the pretty thing, she brings it home and names him baby. Baby is a creature from Oolahan that somehow survived from giving birth and uses energy from Netty to bring healing to itself. They become attached to one another, but can their good luck stay? Can she truly be happy with her man-killing husband a couple towns over? Will he come for her?
I give this book 5 stars because I loved it!! ( )
