Lilith's Brood (Xenogenesis #1-3) 
I have so many thoughts, each one of them individual pieces that are trying to absorb all I have read and mix and match it to form a perfect whole; like I am my very own Ooloi creating a construct of all that these book made me feel. Spoiler alert: I am human and I can't. This book made me feel it all: anger, sadness, rage, resignation, numbness, fatigue, pain, despair and finally hope.Set in a post-apocalyptic world where humans as expected have led to the destruction of the world due to our

I don't like rape or forced behavior in my books and what happened to these people is rape.how is drugging and sexually abusing the humans helping them? it makes no sense, and it made it so that they could not stand the touch of their humans mate. they were not given a choice, it's sick.Lilith forced it on her human mate, of course she was sexually active with three of the alien monsters.

This is one of the scariest books I have read in a long time. Good science fiction, good posthuman fiction, challenges the idea of what it means to be human. Octavia E. Butler goes beyond that, way beyond, challenging not just what human means but how open-minded I am to such challenges. This book blew my mind.As a huge fan of science fiction, and as a relatively erudite person, I like to think that I have an open mind.

Octavia Butler has a way of holding up a mirror to humanity and showing us everything that is ugly and perhaps shameful. I have read every book Ms. Butler has written and this was not my favorite of her books in my first read, but it is the one that has stuck with me the longest.
