Two teenagers struggle with a horrific family legacy in the sequel to Chase Novak's novel, Breed.
Thirteen years ago, a radical fertility doctor helped bring Adam and Alice Twisden into the world. The treatment came at a great cost: it turned the twins' parents into barbarous animals and threatens to transform the children, too. As Adam and Alice find themselves on the brink of maturity, they starve themselves in a desperate attempt to stop their bodies from changing. Will they succumb to the same bodily horrors that destroyed their parents?
Their aunt, Cynthia, who has always wanted to be a mother, oversees renovations to the Twisden family's Upper East Side residence-violently torn apart by the children's parents--and struggles to give her niece and nephew the unconditional love and stable home life they never had. Meanwhile, in the world outside, the forces of good and evil collide as a troop of wild teenagers, growing steadily in number, threatens to invade the calm refuge Cynthia is so determined to construct behind the safety of the Twisdens' walls.
As New York City transforms into a battleground, Adam and Alice will have to decide where their loyalties lie. They are determined to lead normal lives--and yet their unnatural urges, which grow ever stronger by the day, can only be stifled for so long...

Review
"[Novak's] prose sings with joy when he describes the snap of a bone, delights - and disturbs - when he dredges dark humor from the aftermath. Simply put, the people-eaters bring out the best in Chase Novak."―Colin Dwyer, NPR
"Gruesome and grimly funny"―BookPage
"Like all good literary horror, a sense of foreboding piggybacks on a layer of strong emotion, and here it's tweaked by the characters' desperate, haunting desire for connections."―Booklist
"A satirical supernatural thriller . . . Genuine rat-inspired horror."―Publishers Weekly
"Novak ably combines realism and the supernatural."―Kirkus Reviews

and this story of super blood is not
By William
Brood is a quick read after you realize it is pure, light entertainment and contains no message of note. I don't read science fiction/horror unless the premise is at least remotely scientifically possible, and this story of super blood is not. The mother of the semi-feral twins makes too many, one-star-horror- flick decisions, and duress doesn't account for half of them. The descriptive writing is okay, but much of it seems forced and some of it is pure padding -- as in, I need a few more pages. I'm assuming the hanging ending indicates a sequel to come, which I won't be reading. On a more kind note, I read non fiction primarily, mostly history and science, and occasionally read fiction as a mental recess, so this kind of fiction comes off badly in comparison. Buts...if pure fantasy, sci-fi is your thing, you might like this.

I loved the first book and was really irritated with how ...
By DAE
I loved the first book and was really irritated with how it ended because it was so open ended. When I saw that there was a sequel, I was excited. Because I liked 2/3 of the book I'm giving the book 3 stars.
I listened to the audiobook, so I really liked the point of view shifts. I liked the tension that built up surrounding Adam's and Alice's transition into adolescence. I also liked how the house became a character within the novel. It's the source of adoration and desire (Cynthia); it smacks of decadence. It is also a place horror and familiarity (Adam and Alice), and growing fear (Cynthia). I liked how the twins and their cohorts found themselves trying to straddle the line between humanity and animalistic behavior. The novel touches on the fact that one of the things separating us from other animals is our use of language. So, as some of the children and their parents become more feral, they start losing/forgetting language.
What I didn't like about the book is Cynthia. I loved every other character except her! I didn't like how she took possession of her deceased sister's children, and instantly started calling herself their mother. I wanted to scream, "You're their aunt, not their mother!" Adam's and Alice's parents will always be their parents, regardless! I don't understand how Cynthia felt that after taking custody of Adam and Alice, that she felt she could upgrade herself to mama after only a week of knowing these kids. Also, why is she so indecisive, dumb, and weak-willed? Example: You come to realize someone you don't know is lurking in your home. You would probably go outside and call the police. She wouldn't! Even if crazy s--t were being thrown right in her face, she'd say, "Oh, maybe I'm just being silly!" What!?
She knows that crazy stuff went down with her sister and brother-in-law, but she walks into parenthood with not one ounce of knowledge about the children's potential issues. Child care is a new experience for her, but one would think that she would know that structure (and huge amounts of love) is what is necessary for everyone. These children are 12, but she never sits them down to let them know that their behavior is unacceptable. She just doesn't do anything! She is the very definition of a useless adult. The children might as well have been running about NYC by themselves...oh wait, they do!
And then the ending! I hate books that start decent, but die once you reach the end. And, once again, Cynthia is the problem. Her job is to be a parent/guardian. Her job is to fight for these children, and for herself. She wanted to be their parent so bad, but didn't do anything that any reasonable parent would do. Gah!

A scary, very fun followup to Breed
By MyBookishWays
Here’s the thing. Breed, and subsequently Brood, are very scary, gory, creepy, sometimes over the top, and frequently satirical, so if you like this sort of thing (I do), then you’ll like these books. Chase Novak, aka Scott Spencer, is a pro, and he writes horror like he’s having the time of his life doing it, and it shows. The story so far is this: Adam and Alice Twisden are twins, about 13 at this point (about 2 years on from the events of Breed). They are ethereally lovely, very smart, and also very streetwise, having been shuttled from foster home to foster home since the deaths of their parents. Finally, their Aunt Cynthia, a displaced antiques dealer (and their mother’s sister), has gotten custody of them, and she’s ecstatic. The twins? Not so much. Or rather, Adam seems ok with the arrangement, but Alice longs for a much different type of arrangement. This is where Brood begins, with the custody hearing of the twins, and their move back into their parent’s renovated Manhattan manse, also the site of many horrible things. As we learned in Breed, the twins were conceived via a profligate and very corrupted process involving some questionable DNA and a Slovenian doctor, and the treatments drove their parents to cannibalism, and worse, until their rather spectacular deaths.
We only got a glimpse of the wild children roaming various parts of Manhattan and the wilds of Central Park in Breed, but here, they are front and center, alongside Cynthia’s desperate struggle to keep the twins safe and give them a stable home. Adam immediately takes to Cynthia, but Alice hears the siren song of Rodolfo, the boy king of the Central Park clan of genetically twisted children. They’ve been keeping themselves in room and board by selling their blood, dubbed Zoom, to those that want to experience the surge of lust and strength that comes from its ingestion. Meanwhile, a testing facility has been rounding up the children for experimentation, determined to find out what makes them tick, and Rodolfo is struggling with the seemingly inevitable need to move his unique family elsewhere.
I kind of loved hanging out with these genetically evolved feral children, who behave exactly as rudderless, and physically unearthly children would. They live in relative squalor, revel in their wondrous abilities, and are fiercely protective of each other, and while the parent in me bristled at Alice’s dismissal of Cynthia’s affection, it’s also not hard to root for these very special kids, who, through no fault of their own, must learn to live, the best way they can, with differences that are beyond the pale, constantly dodging those that would use them and hurt them.
On the flipside, Cynthia loves these kids with a fierceness that every parent will understand, and when they run away from her, she struggles with the helplessness and hopelessness of her situation, in a huge house that is starting to be more trouble than it’s worth (Can you say rats, three times? Multiply that by a hundred.) The scenes with the kids are alternately wondrous and terrifying (their animal natures are something to behold, and certainly to fear), but the real creeps come from Cynthia’s experiences in that big old house, all alone. Mix all this in with some spot on social commentary on our want-it-all culture, some pitch black humor, plus a fairly nonstop pace, and you’ve got a win. I kind of love these books-they’re all kinds of scary fun-and I have a couple of ideas where things might go from here, even after a bit of a heartbreaking conclusion. Here’s hoping.
