As a traitor to the human resistance, Sheldon attempts to abandon his simple farm life and newfound friends to fit in with this new alien movement. Proving to be more powerful than most of the infected, Sheldon is soon given important leadership roles–deciding if new human recruits are strong and healthy, or simply executed. But Sheldon can’t help but be human. Moreover, he can’t help but yearn for connections. When the resistance grows stronger, Sheldon is forced to bring a team of alien intellects to fight–but as he wavers with his new developing mind, the movement goes sideways.

The author Christopher Francis does it once again.
A beautiful continuation to the book “ They came from the trees “

I can write a full page if not longer as a review for this book or the series in a whole, but instead all I’ll say is that this is one amazing series with the biggest twist ever.

I liked book 2 of the "They Came From The Trees" series even more than the first one. The action grabbed my attention from the opening paragraphs until the very end. Once the audiobook started, I had to listen until the end. I was entertained by the characters. I appreciated the twists and turns. I was saddened by some of the events. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Ray Shah's narration was fine, and he kept my attention with his performance. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, this is an honest review. Narrated passionately by Ray Shah, They Came to the Island: The Shift as one heck of a grand sequel as things continue to be altered by the aliens that invaded Earth; for Sheldon Hickory he finds himself in a precarious position as his body continues to mutate from the aliens, leaving him unsure if he's more like the Intellects ( as the aliens call themselves ) or even truly human anymore. Caught between honoring his commitment to serving the leader of his Zone or joining a fiery resistance of brave humans trying to take their lives back. Packed with shocking twists and moral gray questions that will leave you breathless, especially toward Sheldon from the very Leader teaching him how to utilize his blossoming skills on this altered world. A brilliant, harrowing time.


Highly recommended.

A hauntingly human journey

This is great speculative YA alien invasion dystopia. Well-written, relatable characters.

My only caveat: Animal death. 😔

Continuation of ….From the Trees.
