This is a good book with an interesting premise. A magic little implant to solve your big problem, what could go wrong? A topical story premise in this age of science, where editing DNA is possible and carries with it a big debate of ethicality. Dr. Kite is as you would expect, smart but a little fanatical and rushing progress in spite of problems (and let’s not forget his questionable title of “Dr.”). The women are desperate for a change. A heady combination. The story moved along well and I liked seeing the perspective from not only the doctor’s eyes, but the patients as well. However, at times it felt like an omniscient narrator barged in to make observations that were not in line with the character’s voice. It would have been even better if the characters just spoke for themselves, not being overridden with interjections about them. Something about that felt a bit inauthentic to me. However, besides that, I thought the book was well-written and worth a read.

Alterations by Jane Suen is the first book in the Alterations Trilogy. This is a brilliant book that focuses on the old adage of be careful what you wish for. What I loved most about this book is that fact that it isn’t too far removed from reality. You can so easily imagine this type of scenarios being exactly where society is headed. Because of that I thought it was so easy to connect with the story. Although it was a pretty quick read you become invested in the characters and everything that happens to them. As the start of a series this is a strong opening. It has definitely piqued my interest and I cannot wait to read the next books.

This was a very interesting take on body, mind, and health alterations. Makes you second guess what you allow to be put into your body and the effects it will have. Dr. Kite is not what he portrays. It left me feeling kind of freaked out to be honest. The three women are each unique in the help they are hoping to receive but is it worth it in the end? This is a very quick read that will keep you pondering for a while.

href=”https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35567049-alterations” style=”float: left; padding-right: 20px”>Alterations by Jane Suen My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a very interesting book. Imagine being able to change something you don’t like about yourself quickly and easily. The characters in this book attempt to do just this using chips that a doctor created. Is it worth the prices they pay though? This was an easy read and very thought provoking. As someone who struggles with weight I related to the character Ellen the most.

I picked up this book as the story interested me with different characters and I was curious how it would come about as the story progressed.
No questions asked, right from the start, I was more than intrigued. I related to the women of the novel called Ellen, Lilly, and Gigi. All of them had truly different desires and wanted a change and a chance to be happy. This basically from the moment head first intrigued me. The desires were so common as I feel a lot of us feel this every day. One lady wanted to be thinner and her personal body appearance bothered her. Another went through a time in her life where she got divorced and she was unhappy in life and desired to feel joys of living her life again. And last, but the least, the 3rd woman is suffering from a medical illness and she strongly desired to beat it.
All 3 women I found to be very likeable characters and defiantly very relatable. I found myself rooting for them right when I learning about the aspects of their characters.
Dr. Kite, the is the doctor who says he can help them reach their dreams and desires. To be right from is introduction, I was getting the strong vibes he is a doctor mad with power…but how far does that power go? The ladies of this novel wanted their happiness and didn’t care the cost, as they truly thought was there to help them reach their inner motives to be happy.
Sadly, as I would expect, these desires and happiness the ladies wanted come with a price. And it turned out to have dire consequences…probably more than and me as well would expect truly! The book was a very fast read, and the author kept the suspense raised up high. I honestly didn’t want to put it down. I found there was no pages of filling in with info to carry the story alone. I found every page connected to the one before and the page after it, I hung on to the pages to see what would happen.
Its gripping and will suck you in to say the least. When I got to ending, it was indeed a suspenseful cliff hanger. Now I desperately need to read and get my hands on the rest of the series
I’m so glad I came across this novel and read this this book, and plus now I have a new author I can adore and await more novels from 🙂
Honestly pick this book up and read it. Its different and original. The story progresses in ways I did not expect or was prepared for. Its visionary it unfolds is strikingly suspenseful, you will only regret not reading this sooner.

To paraphrase the book description, “Gigi, Ellen, Lilly… three women so desperate to change their lives that they turn to the mysterious Dr. Kite, who offers them an implant that can control their mind.”
Three women’s lives come together with Dr. Kite, who has a quick-fix for each of these three women’s short comings. Gigi, Ellen, and Lilly are determined to change and better themselves as human beings. Each women has a different short-coming; a different end-goal. Gigi has a mysterious disease. Ellen has issues with her weight. And Lilly, who is unhappy after a terrible divorce, is looking for eternal youth. And Dr. Kite has one simple solution for all of their problems! A microchip that will help? What could go wrong?
I love how the author, Jane Suen, leads you into the three women’s characters lives and problems separately. There are three different story lines that somehow tie into one plot. I love the perspective of each individual character and how their lives develop throughout.

I am glad that these books came in a set. They are definitely not meant to be read as standalones. The Alterations stories are imaginative and unusual. While I did find the premise of the trilogy intriguing, I had a challenge connecting with some of the characters. There were also some parts of the story that were a bit fuzzy and left me with questions. I think I enjoyed Ellen’s part of the story the most, and the latter part of Gigi’s story. Lilly was by far the main character that I couldn’t seem to get into. Overall, a good read.
Alterations-introduces you to the main characters (Gigi, Ellen, Lilly, Dr. Kite) and sets the foundation for the other two books.
Game Changer-After a disaster, Dr. Kite’s life takes an unexpected turn. The women are getting on with their lives as best they can.
Primal Will-Revelations and decisions are made that will have lasting effects on everyone.

The Alterations Trilogy by Jane Suen tells the story of a scientist, the so-called “Dr” Kite, who has developed a series of microchips that can alter people’s bodies and minds. The trilogy focuses primarily on three women – Gigi, Ellen and Lilly. Each of them has something about themselves that they would like to change, and Dr Kite offers this change. Like most wish-granting stories, though, there is a cost and each woman must face the consequences of her decision. It’s a fascinating story, and very thought-provoking. It got me wondering about what I would most want to change about myself, and how far I’d go to achieve that. It also made me think about the things we value, particularly with regards to physical beauty, and the shortcuts people are encouraged to take to achieve these often unrealistic ideals. The narrative jumps between several different characters. Character changes are heralded with new chapters, but sometimes the chapters can be quite short. I found it mostly easy to follow, and the character changes kept me in suspense as the different stories unfolded. At times, I felt the pacing wasn’t great. The second book in particular seemed to primarily be spent building up to the third book – no bad thing when reading the trilogy as a set but not great if you’re trying to read the books separately. I would recommend reading all three together, as it allows the story to develop. For me, this is a four-star read. Really interesting concept, and I found myself warming to the characters (particularly Ellen, as the story progressed!). I’d recommend this to anyone who is concerned about drastic weight-loss and anti-ageing solutions!

Alterations Trilogy: Alterations, Game Changer, Primal Will by Jane Suen Four Stars
This trilogy is about making the changes to yourself that you find bad. You have a chance to be better than you ever thought. To take those imperfections and make them perfect or disappear. Dr. Kite isn’t right in the head. He wants to make everyone perfect. This series was a little scary. Not the jump out the closet as a clown scary but as in this could actually be happening. You get a glimpse if all three women throughout each book. Their lives are forever changed so in good ways others not so good. Dr. Kite seemed to not comprehend the effects that the chip had on his subjects. Overall the series was a interesting read. The author draws you in with the unknown. Though I would’ve liked to go deeper into the details about each character. It was hard for me to get to know each of the characters because the chapters jumped around.

This Trilogy by Jane Suen is a fast pace read. I want to be upfront because you may not put it down until you have read all three books. Jane Suen is an amazing author that interweaves her characters that will make your head spin. These stories are about three women, Gigi, Ellen, and Lily and Dr. Kite. There are different stories for each woman but have one story with Dr. Kite that keep your interest peaked. There is so much passion and love put into the women that you can relate to them and become part of their world. On the other hand, Dr. Kite has been through many trials and tribulations. The women will have questions that will need to be answered by Dr. Kite. When does that happen will they have love and a future to look forward to?

These three stories follow Gigi, Ellen, Lilly, and Dr. Kite on their path of self-improvement. I really loved reading about these characters and how they change throughout the trilogy. Each character’s story is different, interesting, and with different conflicts. Overall, I particularly loved Ellen’s story! There are a few twists and turns that I didn’t see coming, which I really enjoyed. These stories are quick and fun to read.

Alterations Trilogy by Jane Suen contains the three books Alterations, Game Changer, and Primal Will. So glad this came out in a set. I have recommended in the past to read the books in order because they pick up after each other. This is a creepy sci-fi dystopian set of novels dealing with our need to improve ourselves. Alterations: Alterations by Jane Suen is a futuristic, psychological thriller. The story is about three women who get an implant put in them to help them with different aspects of their lives. The story is interesting and different from other stories I have read. I enjoyed the three different female characters and the differences between them. They all had relatable aspects and problems that many women deal with daily. The doctor helping them seemed interesting also despite not being in the story much. I really enjoyed the concept and the story. I would have enjoyed a longer book with more background and information about the characters. There seemed more that could have been explored. I hope to read more from this author in the future and will keep an eye out for her books. Game Changer Game Changer by Jane Suen is the second book in the Alterations series. I recommend reading the first book first in order to get the full impact of what is going on in the story. This book picks up after the first and continues the stories of the nefarious Dr. Kite and the three women whose lives he changed. I enjoyed getting more in the story of Gigi, Lilly, and Ellen. I continued to hope the best for the women and that they would recover from their experiences with Dr. Kite. This book is again full of suspense and mystery. I wanted to know where the story was going and am curious as to where the last book in the trilogy will take their experiences. Primal Will Primal Will by Jane Suen is the third and final book in the Alterations series. The conclusion of the story did not let me down. I recommend reading these in order because one story flows to the next. I was really curious as to how Gigi, Lilly, and Ellen would handle their experiences of being subjects of Dr. Kite. Each of the women had a different experience but still had after effects to handle. Dr. Kite is on the run. Will the women allow Kite to run and hide? I like that each of the women are different from one another but with this common thread in their lives. They are strong and a bit fierce. I’m glad to have read the entire series and go on this adventure.

ALTERATIONS TRILOGY: Alterations, Game Changer, Primal Will by Jane Suen is a solid psychological thriller collection, that has a sci-fi look at that quick fix, and how if it’s too good to be true.. then…
I’m so happy this was released as a box set, as each book is fairly short, together making this a full read. That and, you don’t have to wait for the next book to be released. As this is a box set I’m going to just give some highlights of my reviews, from each book.
Alterations: “What made me hooked on this story was the mystery that started with Gigi, even though I knew what was going on, her roommate didn’t. So that was a fun subplot. Out of the three Ladies, Lilly was my favourite. She didn’t have much screen time, but the bit that she did made me wish she had more, and that there was more to it. She brought something crazy, and dangerous.”
Game Changer: “I have a slight feeling that something isn’t quite right with the girls, there are multi hints dropped and suggestive word play that makes you think everything is going to hit the fan in the next book. If I’m right, or partly right, I think the next book is going to be freaking epic.”
Primal Will: “Overall I loved this series, it had like I said, a dark grittiness to it that draws you in. The split POV between all the main MC’s, made you feel like a fly on the wall, but at the same time, you weren’t getting everything. Just glimpse of their lives, who they are, and why they needed to be “fixed” in the first place. There is a clear message, nothing is ever a quick fix, you need to want to change and put to work. The mind is a funny thing, Dr. Kite finds that out the hard way“.
I don’t believe I need to say anymore, only that this series is worth your time and energy. There’s a deepness to it, because all these girls, and the things they wanted “fix” are things, that at one point, we as humans, have wanted fixed. So what would do? Having that quick fix at your fingertips..
If this has piped your interest, in any way, then this is where I’m going to leave you, with my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. This collection is something special, and I believe it will spark, the what if’s in your own mind.. to the point of going down the rabbit hole.

“If only, this time, they could control the mind. The body they could now fix-not just for cosmetic reasons, but to cure people who were ill like Gigi, destroying the defective cells and replacing them with healthy ones. Once he perfected this microchip, he would have riches beyond imagination. How many people? Millions, no billions. Why, he’d even offer different grades of this microchip to make it more affordable. He could almost hear the people clamoring for it.” ~Dr. Kite
Wow this was such a good read. It had a lot of good material packed in a short punch and I loved it. It really made me think, kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next, and even had me yelling at my kindle a few times. I have really expanded my reading genera’s this last year to include more of the futuristic and dystopian novels that I would have normally never picked up, and I must confess I am so very happy that I have. Jane Suen is one author in this area that never lets me down. She writes with such a beautiful flow and imagination that I can completely see this happening right now and it being completely for seeable. I love that about her novels and this one was no different.
First off, we meet Gigi, right as she is about to make a very rash and permanent decision, when suddenly Dr. Kite’s men step in and thankfully save her from herself. Or do they? Throughout the novel she tries to figure out what happened to her that day. What will happen when she links it all back to the decision she made to save her life and heal her body years ago from a disease that was killing her spirit and as much as her health?
“We gave you perfection, how could you not want that? No disease, no malfunctioning organs, every cell optimized and in perfect working order.”
Next, we meet Lilly Cooper, bitter and angry after her recent divorce. She is struggling to come to terms with living life and battling her demons at the same time. Will the doctor be able to help her or will it be worth the risks involved?
“She wondered, was is a display of her chip gone bad, or did it become an instrument to release her deepest desire, her dark evil within?” ~Lilly
Ellen Fullbright has spent her entire life being the butt of all the bullies jokes and teasing. She just wants to fit into her size six dress for her cousin’s upcoming wedding, but she has hit that plateau and is feeling hopeless when she stumbles upon and alterations shop that promises her a permanent fix if she follows the directions on a little white card. Will she be able to follow through?
Game Changer Book #2
I can’t honestly say enough good things about this book, but I will try to narrow it down a bit for this review. I can see this whole series as a movie. I would wait with baited breath for each episode. It is a gripping experience, with emotional, suspenseful, mysteries and so much more. Game Changer is actually the second book in the Alterations Trilogy from Jane Suen. I had no idea that there was going to be another book, so was thrilled when I found out there is another after this one. I would highly recommend that you go back and start with book one before you dive into this one. Actually… maybe not read this review from here because it will spoil it…
If you read book one… This one picks up exactly…”One year, three months and two days after the fire destroyed Dr. Kite’s warehouse.” The fire is where book one left off. From here the story delves into the lives of the women that were in book one and Dr. Kite. It is written in a format where you get little glimpses, stories about where each character is at, and what they are doing, since the fire destroyed everything that Dr. Kite had on the chips that he implanted in the women.
We find out Dr. Kite is not doing so hot after the fire. He has kind of given up on life since his main project, which was his baby, has been destroyed. He moved away and is still in a funk. I want to like him though, not sure why? There was a feeling as if it was building into something with his character but then left off… Maybe a twist there?
“He looked at his rumpled pants, still full of creases from the day before, and the worn brown belt with the dull buckle at his waist, his crinkled, blue cotton shirt barely tucked in. Disgusted with himself, he quietly retreated, cursing his appearance, wishing he could change her first impression of him.”
Ellen is blown away when her pregnancy test came back positive. She actually finds herself good at being a single mom. She will stop at nothing to give her daughter the best life she possibly can. Her story also ended with an odd question or two in mind… Another twist coming?
“Thoughts swirled in her head. How can this be? Me, a mother? I lost weight, but I’m gaining something else- a baby!”
Then we have Gigi, I really enjoy her. She is discovering how amazing it is to be in true love and I was happy to see that she was having some peace. Her story was pretty open-ended so I could see where there will be more of her in the next novel.
“As she rounded the corner, Rex came into view, dressed in a plaid shirt, jeans, and work gloves. Her heart raced as she laid her eyes on him. Her man.”
Lilly, last but not least, is throwing herself into a new phase in her life. She has been training women for no one knows exactly, but I didn’t get a good vibe from the situation. Definitely did not get the full answers to my burning questions.
“She stood in the middle of the circle, surrounded by women. Pivoting slowly, Lilly looked around, locking eyes with each in a silent greeting. Altogether, an even dozen. An exclusive group.”
As these stories unfold you find them culminating into a lot of questions. What will come next? What will happen to each of them? Does all their separate lives have any ties other than their history with the chip? I can’t believe that this would be easy to end in just one more book, but bring it on Jane Suen. I will be impatiently waiting over here.
Primal Will Book #3
I am so sad to see this trilogy come to an end. It is bittersweet because I was excited to find out how this would all come together, yet I didn’t want it to end. I can only hope that the ‘loose ends’ that Suen left us with will mean a potential spin-off series in the near future. When I first discovered Jane Suen I was looking for something different at the time from my typical romance happy ending storylines. I got so much more than I was even expecting then, and Suen has continued to reel me in and bring me back for more. I love that nothing from her is typical or expected. Definitely not predictable, and that makes for some great reading material! I chose to read this novel on a cool and rainy day under the covers with some hot tea, and it was the perfect way to spend my afternoon.
Given that this is the third book in a trilogy, I would highly recommend that you read books one, Alterations. Followed by book two, Game Changer. I would do so before you read this one, and this review. Inevitably there will be spoilers from previous novels, but I will do my best to keep them minimal.
This trilogy has been centered on three women and the man that links them all together with his ‘mad science’. This will pick up right where we left off in Game Changer. The women are coming full circle now and this is kind of an update as to where the characters are. Gigi, Ellen, and Lilly are finding where they belong in this world. Dr. Kite is along for the ride as well and we get more of the multiple POV’s which enriches the story. This is a fast and short read, mostly tying up the loose ends if you will from the previous two books. I was left hanging with a few questions, but like I said, I can only hope that means that a spin-off series is in the works or could be in the works. Overall, I was really happy with how the trilogy played out. I enjoyed the themes of self-discovery, dystopian worlds, romance, and so much more being woven throughout each novel. I can’t wait to see what will come next from Jane Suen!!

Jane Suen series is quick and easy to read. Great when you have time that needs filled in. But you want to finish the book. Each book is loaded with mystery and intrigue. I loved each book in this series. They filled all my feels, laughter, tears and anger. Jane Suen was a new author for me. But after this series, I keep an eye out for anything she writes. I feel you will love this series as much as I did.

The Alterations Trilogy by Jane Suen was an interesting series. Each book deserves a mention. Alterations by Jane Suen was a short novella that left me shocked! It’s a science fiction story with lots of suspense and mystery. The storylines are compelling. The three lead females are each going through things and each character is unique. The author does a great job going between each character’s story. I think my favorite storyline was Ellen’s. I can relate to her struggles with losing weight and wanting badly to be able to lose it. It is amazing that one day we could be doing similar things that happen in this book. These women are so desperate to change their lives they go to this doctor kite and in the end have to deal with the consequences. I found this book to be interesting and unique. I was pretty shocked by the doctors methods and how he did things. Game Changer by Jane Suen is book number two in the Alterations trilogy. Definitely read book one as this one starts shortly after. I enjoyed book one and I enjoyed this one as well. Jane has an uncanny ability to write interesting and intriguing books that not only entertain you but they aren’t long and drawn out. I love reading her books because they always seem to surprise me in someway. I didn’t even know there was going to be other books in this series so I was pleased to find out there was more. I enjoyed reading about the characters from book one and seeing the story progress. Primal Will by Jane Suen is the final book in the Alterations trilogy. This book tied up the other two and was a pretty good way to end things. Overall I liked the book. My favorite of the series was book one but I liked how the author ended the series. I liked the books and the story. The authors writing style is unique and different and that’s what I like about it. I would rate this series 4 stars.

This is a box set of three books by this author. Each book took me on a journey with three girls. They each had their reasons for wanting to change their lives and what they are willing to risk is higher than they could imagine. This is a fast reading series that has twists and turns that left me sitting on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t put down until the last page. I highly recommend this box set and find out how one implant could change these girls lives forever.

The Alterations Trilogy consists of all three books, Alterations, Game Changer and Primal Will. This is absolutely a must-read series! Jane Suen is such a phenomenally talented author whose stories always pull me in right from the start with all of the vivid detail. This is a fast-paced trilogy with non-stop action. I was able to read each book in one sitting as I was so captivated by the storyline that I couldn’t bring myself to put it down. This story is told in multiple POV’s in a really seamless way that easily captured my attention the whole way through. It’s intense, shocking, detailed, captivating and so entertaining!
This is a storyline like no other, a truly one of a kind read! I would absolutely recommend this series and author to anyone looking for their next read!

This trilogy is a MUST read. Each book is about 100 pages so you can rip through the whole trilogy in no time at all. I wish I was able to read them as a boxed set, so congrats on one clicking this.
There is so much to say about the amazingness of this series. The quick, information filled chapters. The visualization from the writing. The believability of the desired situations. It was fascinating to read.
Every letter, every word, every paragraph and every character moved this story along. It was told in such a minimalistic style yet is so full bodied. I felt it had an important moral and I was pleased with how it ended.
This is in my top 3 trilogies that I’ve read. I 100% recommend it to everyone.

Jane Suen’s Alterations Trilogy includes: Alterations, Game Changer and Primal Will. This is a science fiction/fantasy/psychological series. I found this trilogy unique and quite enjoyed how Jane Suen tied this series together. There is a lot for three characters, each with their own stories, to be compiled into this short stories. We get a glimpse into their stories, but there was the potential for much more to be added and/or expanded into with each of the individual women.
Alterations: This is a story that will push your concept of what is possible and real versus what could be possible beyond our imaginations. This is about three women who are seeking change, but what they are seeking may not ultimately be what they receive. This was the first written work that I had read by Jane Suen and I was absolutely intrigued after reading the synopsis for this story.
Game Changer: This story pushes your concept of what is possible and real versus what could be possible beyond our imaginations. These women are seeking change and building new lives.
Primal Will: The author did an fine job in bringing a conclusion to this trilogy edging the line on what to expect and what could possible be forthcoming. Overall, I thought this was a solid story to delve into a unique story line with women from different walks of life each looking for a change that will make their lives better.

ALTERATIONS TRILOGY: Alterations, Game Changer, Primal Will by Jane Suen
5 Stars
I have now read every one of this authors books and I will also read every book she comes out with. She is one of those authors that you never know what might be instore for you when you open one of her books, she is never predictable and I sit afterwards always pondering what I just read. She has a talent that has her in a class of her own and I just can’t say enough about how much I love her. This trilogy is simply awesome..totally different than anything I have every read and each one of them had me totally breaking from real life and I was totally invested in these characters…
Alterations – This is about three women, each with a different issue in life. This is also about one man, “Dr.” Kite, who set out on a mission to help these three women with their life issues by offering them an answer using an implant that can control their minds. Although short, the author fit in enough backstory for each character that I was able to understand and fall in love with each one. It brought up questions in my own mind, if I could pick the one issue in life I struggle with would I take the same risks these three women took? Especially knowing that when something seems too good to be true, it could be just that..too good to be true….
Game Changer – This story carried on from the first, the 3 ladies that Dr. Kite “helped” have now started moving on with their lives, and each one dealing with their own good and bad. Dr. Kite is again up to something, and I loved reading his parts of this story.. I don’t know why he fascinates me so much but he does…Would I trust him if he showed up at my door? Ehhh, maybe to an extent.
Primal Will – This last installment had me reading so fast I caught myself tripping over the words and making myself slow down so that I could savor every second of it. What an amazing storyline from start to finish, so creative and addictive and I can not wait to go back and read the whole series all over again. Not going to go into anymore detail because it will take away from all 3 books..
Ok Miss Jane Suen, I’ve read all of your books, and I want more…You are an amazing story teller and I can not wait to see where you take us next!! But rest assured I’ll be one of the first in line to find out!

This trilogy includes the three books Alterations, Game Changer and Primal Will.
Alterations I loved this book! It was a nice break from my usual romance genres. I wasn’t sure I was going to like it in all honesty but the blurb really intrigued me and it didn’t take long to be completely sucked into it! I still can’t decide if I should like Dr Kite or not?? Half of me did and the other half was thinking what a psycho! Although if someone wanted to implant one of those weight-loss chips in me that I think I might consider it!! It is a fast paced book and the writing style of the author reflected this well in my opinion. It does jump about between characters but it’s all tied up during the later stages of the story. I found it easy to keep up with and I think it would have made a really good full length novel too!
Game Changer
I loved book 1 in this series, it was so different to anything I had read so I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. I loved that each chapter again was short and to the point and that we got to see how each character was getting on. I had a feeling that there were going to be a few twists and turns in the story and I was right! I had no idea what was going to happen and the author kept me guessing the whole way through. The author’s unique writing style is really engaging, you don’t get bored with long chapters, everything moves at a good pace and my interest was kept all the way through. I love the girls in the story and enjoyed reading about their lives after the implants but the character who I love reading about the most is Dr Kite! His chapters are the shortest but he is the most intriguing!
Primal Will
I couldn’t wait to begin book 3 just to find out what was going to happen with Dr Kite! Throughout all of the stories he is the one I have been most intrigued with – is he trying to do good or is he actually manipulative and evil? I think that he is one of those characters where you kind of have to make up your own mind about him. I will say that I did see a slight different side to him in this story and I think that everything came full circle for all of the characters involved. It was a brilliant ending to this trilogy.

This trilogy starts off with Alterations and is easy to read. It is a story about 3 different women with 3 different situations. Dr. Kite seems like a hero with his “alterations” for the women. Game Changer is book two and continues the story with Lilly, Ellen and Gigi. We learn how their lives have changed with their alterations from book 1. It is an interesting and intriguing read. The trilogy finishes up with Primal Will, which has a slightly twisted ending, so keep reading! Over all this trilogy was pretty good.

ALTERATIONS TRILOGY: Alterations, Game Changer, Primal Will by Jane Suen are a Sci Fi trilogy that are quick and easy reads.
Alterations is an interesting short tale and is full of suspense and mystery. The story is told in multiple POV’s which gives us the readers a better understanding of what the characters think, why they do what they do. Like our good doctor, Dr Kite. Is he a genius or is he Dr Frankenstein? Is he clever or is he crazy? And just what is he doing to people?
Game Changer: Book 2 holds you from start to finish. This book carries on in the same vein but has an under current of mystery and feels a tad sinister and I expect everything that is coming will end in an explosive way.
Primal Will: Book 3 is the last book in the trilogy and one that pulls a punch. Jane’s writing style and her plots keep you engaged every step of the way. Dr Kite is in the forefront of the story once again but is he still evil or will he trade it in a become Mr Nice? To find out you will just have to read this trilogy.

The Alterations Trilogy is a thought provoking and interesting read by Jane Suen. I would categorize it a science fiction story that is a little mysterious and suspenseful. It is a very quick, easy read.
The trilogy consists of: -Alterations (Book #1) -Game Changer (Book #2) -Primal Will (Book #3)
An overview of the series: We meet Ellen, Gigi and Lilly who are all desperate to change aspects of themselves, in the hope of finding happiness. This is where Dr. Kite offers a procedure that he assures them will change their life. The procedure involves having an implant imbedded into them; the implant then controls their mind and alters them from the inside out. Will Ellen lose the weight she’s so desperate to rid herself of, find the self-respect she’s after and get a little romance in the process? Will Gigi find the true love she been yearning for? And can Lilly finally cast aside all the bitterness she harbours from her nasty divorce? An implant sound like such a simple way of fixing a multitude of problems. Could it really be that easy? Is there a catch? As we progress through the story and follow the women and Dr. Kite through their experiences we discover that there is a little more to the story than first meets the eye. With unforeseen issues, a couple of faulty chips, plots, and hidden agendas this trilogy kept me avidly reading to discover all the suspenseful and dramatic details. This was an interesting concept and gave me a lot to think about. The plot is quite complex and even with each book being a very quick and easy read, the story never lost momentum, but I would have liked a little more depth and character details/backstory- especially in the first book. But as the series progressed and the story evolved, I did enjoy it much more. I look forward to seeing what Ms. Suen does next.

Alterations by Jane Suen is an interesting short sci fi tale and is readable in one go. The story line is full of suspense and mystery. The story is told in multiple POV’s which gives us the readers a better understanding of what the characters think, why they do what they do. Like our good doctor, Dr Kite. Is he a genius or is he Dr Frankenstein? Is he clever or is he crazy? And just what is he doing to people?

Game Changer is the second book of the Alterations Trilogy by Jane Suen and is a sci fi story of sorts. It is a very quick read, the same as the first but it holds you from start to finish. This book picks up where the first book left off and carries on in the same vein but has an under current of mystery and feels a tad sinister. As there is multiple characters with a story, reading the first book is essential or you will not know what is going on. The story is told in multiple POV’s so it gives an insight into each characters life. As this is a trilogy I expect everything that is coming will end in an explosive way. Looking forward to see what Jane has left in store for our characters.
