Description
From the author of The Many comes the next novel in Field's chilling series of psychological thrillers. "Unnerving and intense" (Kirkus Reviews)
It’s been three months since Dawn Flint was abducted from her Portland home in the dead of night. Three months of harrowing flashbacks, disturbing visions and acute morning sickness.
Determined to expose the anonymous group responsible, Dawn is joined by Karl Morgan, whose sister suffered a similar sexual trauma. Together they've tracked down Dawn's abductor to his family home.
During an intense interrogation, Dawn soon has reason to believe their every move is being watched. And when the anonymous group intervenes in stunning, unexpected fashion, Dawn comes to realize that the unwanted seed she's carrying is the only thing keeping her alive.
Relentlessly creepy and utterly addictive, ANCESTRAL will linger in your mind long after the final twist is revealed.

Ancestral wasn't at all what I was expecting. Let me preface this by saying I haven't read the first book however i was able to form a pretty quick idea of what it was about. So while I wouldn't say Ancestral is a stand alone and would probably be even better if I read the first book it can be, in my opinion, be read without knowing the whole story. I was instantly pulled into the story by the secrecy and mystery of this faceless, secretive organization and by Karl and Dawn's characters. Both very well written with their individual voices and point of views. Karl is your almost typical guy saying the wrong things at the wrong time but with a nobility and sympathy to him. He was likeable and didn't remind me of a cookie cutter hero. Because he wasn't. Dawn, while stoic and unreliable, was also likeable and relatable at times. She had a strong voice with an even stronger personality. There was no putting this book down. And the author did an amazing job keeping you on the edge of your seat on each page. I was left guessing what would happen next and the ending was a slam dunk with a surprise I never saw coming. I would highly recommend this book and the first even though I haven't read it yet. I was provided a free copy of this book, thanks netgalley, for an honest review. |

This was an awesome read. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I love when a book is able to surprise me and the ending sure did on this one! I have so many questions and I’m hoping there’s a third book. Great writing, great plot and great characters. |

Full of suspense and drama, Ancestral is the second book in this series from Nathan Field. The Many was creepy in the perfect way that thrillers are and Ancestral is even better. Dawn Flint was abducted in the middle of the night. Three months of torturous flashback and visions have plagued her ever since. Karl Morgan's sisters suffered a similar attack. Working together, they find the address of Dawn's attacker. I finished this book in a single day, because there was no way for me to stop. The tension is high and just trying to find out exactly what was going on was so, so important. This is going to be an amazing series and I can't wait to read the next installment. |

This is every woman's worst nightmare: To be abducted by some nefarious group wanting you to bear their evil offspring. While the premise of this book is nothing new, it's done here with chilling effect and hang-on-by-your-fingernails suspense. These "bad guys" are truly bad, and the discomfort the reader feels ratchets to a visceral level. Want a sleepless night? Read this book! |

Ancestral was a good book that moved nicely. I love a good cult story and its concept was unique. The characters were well developed and I found myself rooting for them all along the way. It was twisted, violent and a tad bit sexual for my taste, but not over the top and very much in line with the theme, unlike some stories that throw it in for the sake of titillation and nothing else. I will say, I was pleasantly surprised and intrigued by the ending and look forward to reading the next installment. |
