I couldn't finish this series that includes a seven-book boxed set digital version. I was hoping for a highly action-oriented book series about an alien invasion of Earth. And, while there is action in the series, it is so strung out that I lost interest. The overall story reads more like a soap opera centering around mainly one wealthy family's experiences connected to the alien invasion. The reader is made to wade through the constant mental chattering and self-questioning going on in each of the characters heads. The insufferable teenage daughter is pregnant, but slides in and out of bed with the baby's unlikable teenage father, who came along for the ride, and one of a group of men who later have inserted themselves into the family's lives. The rich father is divorced from his first comedian entertainer wife and remarried to a much younger trophy wife. However, he still sleeps with his very unfunny first wife when he visits her and thinks she was his original sole-mate. The father's worthless younger teenage son is constantly lusting after his young stepmother. Of course the young trophy wife also gets it on with one of the above mentioned group of men after her husband is taken by the aliens. Oh, and as a side thought the invading aliens are doing violent and mysterious things. If all the nonsense could have been taken out of the series, the entire story, whatever it eventually turns out to be, could probably be fit into two volumes at most.
