I love a good story about alien abduction and the challenge of working out what is truth and what is imagination. This is well written and immerses you in the story brilliantly.

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. Did not finish. Dialogue was very long winded and hard to follow. Could not get into it and stopped.

'Harvest', G.L. Davies' book, is a detailed discussion on paranormal appearances and UFOs. In particular, he recollects in this book the words of a young Pembrokeshire woman who believed she was the victim of alien visitation and their inhuman design.

Definitely a different book, but one I had to read. Having loved the Haunting of Haverfordwest - I grew up there - this one was an auto read for me. Definitely different, not something I would normally read but I'm glad I did!

3.5 rating. Strange goings on in beautiful Pembrokeshire. Having read other books by this author I can never make my mind up as to whether any of it is true or just a product of a lively imagination. But if even only a small part of this account is true, then it’s quite worrying, let alone frightening. “Susan” makes herself known to the author and relays a series of horrible, terrifying events. (Not recommended for faint hearts or people with nervous dispositions). She wants to send a strong message in the hope that others will listen and take heed. So the next time you look up to gaze at the stars on a clear night, don’t look too hard or too long as you never know what or who is watching you!!

If you know me, you know I love stories about aliens. What I don't like, however, is books like these. I think maybe I had the wrong idea about it, but that's okay. I still liked it, I just didn't love it. It had really heavy The Fourth Kind vibes, and although I love that movie, something about this book just didn't sit right with me. It's not that I don't believe what the person involved in the situation says happened to her, it's that I don't like being guilt tripped into feeling like I have to believe her because everyone else blames mental illness.

This book is a little different than the rest of the scifi alien books I read. The author is interviewing a woman who is telling her story, and her past with alien abduction. She says she's been taken many, many times, and it's not only rattled and left her sick and mentally ill, but it's killed people she knows, and that instead of thinking that people just go missing all the time, you should think that aliens have taken them to put them into this kind of horrific forced breeding, harvesting, and slaughtering ground.

Yeah, this was a spooky story for my big list of Halloween reads, but I really can't get over the feeling that I'm being forced to believe that all of this happened. I don't like feeling guilted into believing things. Do you get what I mean? I don't know. Maybe this book just wasn't for me. If you're into those stories based on true events, and like the whole interview like story, than this might be something you want to check out.

When you start reading you might perchance think you have picked up the wrong book. Something by Stephen King, or H.G.Wells, or John Wyndham, or perhaps Arthur C. Clarke? But the difference is soon clear to all: this is not a work of fiction.
Pembrokeshire, the most westerley county of Wales, has been a hotspot for UFO phenomena for many decades but the most terrifying story I have ever read is contained in this book. Susan, an ordinary young woman has witnessed the human race being harvested and culled by aliens. She is now on the run for her life.
Chillingly real and utterly disturbing.

I honestly don't know how I feel about this book. This is non-fiction, focussing on the story of "Susan". If you read it as non-fiction, then there are too many questions left unanswered. On the other hand, if you read it as fiction, then it's a fairly dull story. If the events are true, then it is a terrifying prospect - but I don't see how it can be, and nothing in this account has led me to have doubts on that. I guess I was hoping to be convinced.

My thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley. This review was written voluntarily and is entirely my own, unbiased, opinion.

Non-Fiction (Adult), Paranormal, Aliens, Alien Abduction, Health, Mind & Body

This book is written in an interview style. It involves a woman named “Susan” that describes her harrowing experience with alien interactions. In 2009, she had her first experience and witnessed a dog taken by the aliens. The rest of the experiences were of a more personal nature. She would wake up with nose bleeds, abdominal cramps and other illnesses. She witnessed an alien being literally suck the life out of her aunt and cat.

The question always comes up if this type of person is telling the true or making it up. I have watched countless television shows (Ancient Aliens and In Search of…Aliens with Zachery Quinto and which July 20, 2018) to know that what these people experience is real to them. I can only hope I never experience anything as terrifying as what Susan went through.

Mr. Davies listened attentively as Susan went into detail about her many experiences. It is obvious he truly cared about her well-being. The story is well written and researched. There is a section in the middle of the book regarding the Welsh Triangle and the events people experienced in the mid1970s.

If you are interested in the paranormal, supernatural, and/or aliens you will enjoy this book. As Susan requested, I am passing her message on in hopes that it helps others that have similar experiences but are afraid to talk about them.

Whether or not you believe in UFO’s or aliens, this story will chill you to the bone.

If this story is in fact true, the premise of the tale and its ramifications could possibly change or sway your opinions as to whether there are aliens in the vast beyond, or if they have been on our planet for a very long time.

As in past G.L. Davies’ books, he once again interviews and researches a claim, in the past hauntings, in this case a woman, who believes she was abducted in 2009 by aliens not just once but many times over a certain period. To this day she is terrified of what she saw and that they will return.

Through interview questions we learn how Susan’s (not her real name) life spiraled out of control after she had some sort of incident while sleeping in a barn loft while attending a friend get together. Not really sure what to think, Susan tries to shrug the episode off and continue on with her life until a second happening occurred which involved herself and her then boyfriend.

Then Susan began to have dreams…horrible nightmarish dreams in which she is visited by family members who have passed as well as small alien-like figures. Dreams in which she encountered women like herself and somehow was able to communicate with them. Post-visitations, she would become sick for days vomiting and having nosebleeds, as well as other symptoms. Susan, who lived with her aunt at the time began to notice her aunt begin to seem ill as well. Finally, her aunt asked her to please move out and move back in with her parents.

As she tells what she believes took place, giving Davies impeccable and detailed descriptions of the encounters such as where they were, details and descriptions of the aliens, other humans encountered, she begins to see what she describes as visions of some catastrophic event in which she is not sure will end the world or be a horrific incident in the future.

As Susan’s life begins to be overtaken by these visions, and the the thought of when the next one will come, she decides to cut-off communication with her family and friends for fear they will somehow become pulled into whatever is happening. She now lives a very lonely existence in fear of sleeping, in fear of her unknown.

Whether Susan has really been visited by aliens, or whether this is something else, the specificity of her memory must lead one to ask did this really happen to Susan? I will leave you with this quote which Davies begins his book:

Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

-Arthur C. Clark

Thank you to #JohnHuntPublishingCompany #NetGalley #G.L.Davies #Harvest:TheTrueStoryofAlienAbduction for the advanced copy. The book will be out on November 1.

This book records a series of interviews by G L Davies, taken with a young woman in her late 20's. The woman, called Susan by the author, recounts a series of highly uneasant and traumatic events involving extra-terrestrials. These, she claims, not onmy kidnapped her and subjected her to intrusive medical experiments that damaged her physically; as reatures technologically advanced beyond our understanding as well as possessing strong psychic powers, they also messed with her mi d and memory, apparently subjecting her to psychological experiments as well. And then there are the conclusions Susan has to draw from some of the other cmvisions that came to her: of a future ecological/nuclear disaster in the Wales she is based in, of the possibility that humans are being harvested in the way humans themselves harvest animals here - and with as little empathy or kindness.

G L Davis assures us that Susan's story can be backed by other reports of UFO sightings that ha e taken place in South Wales - especially from the 7p's a d 80's.

The reader will gave to decide if all this is true or not. This is certainly a disturbing and at times, deeply unpleasant read. Whatever did happen to Susan, it is certainly clear that this is the account of a deeply traumatised and abused individual. It is difficult to read on that basis. Susan loses all her friends, a relative and witnesses the horrible death of two beloved pets. Perhaps all this is magnified, in a Poe-esque kind of a way, in that the writer, being an alcoholic. is so empathetic to the cruelty that Susan has suffered.

The psychiatric community próbably would be able to provide other rationales for what may really have happened to Susan.

If, however, there really are such malevolent aliens lurking in the wings, then possibly their treatment of us may be no kess5tban we deserve, considering how we treat animals and the planet - there again however, Susan's vision might be an expression of a massive collective guilt there.

This is a supposedly true account of a woman in Pembrokeshire who has had interaction with aliens. The journalist she has invited to her home has to try and investigate her story to prove what she is telling him is the truth. She goes into long narratives about how she first became aware of the connection and how it is terrifying for her.
For those interested in people not from this world, this book should meet your expectations.
I thank the publishers and author for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

*3.5 stars *

How did life on Earth really begin, was it through evolution or divine creation? Well, there’s another alternative, one that is gaining in popularity - and that is that we were engineered by advanced alien beings! So, are we the only intelligent life form in the universe?

Stephen Hawking once said “If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans “

Author G L Davies, had spent many years studying the paranormal before he decided to take a closer look at UFO and alien activity reports in his home county of Pembrokeshire in Wales, known locally as the Welsh Triangle. One case in particular stood out, and the story that ‘Susan ‘ (not her real name) related about her alien visitations, and what the aliens have in mind for the human race is a really sobering and frightening tale.

I approached this book with an open mind, and discovered an account of repeated alien abductions that Susan had suffered, and her account results in an extraterrestrial nightmare, which was so terrifying and distressing to read, that one has to ask the question, was ‘Susan’s’ account real, or is this someone suffering from delusional disorder? If it is real, then we all have something to worry about. Read it for yourself, then you decide!

This read was way out of my normal genre choices but the description picked my interest. I can honestly say I don’t believe everything presented in this story. It is proclaimed to be a true representation of one woman’s experience being haunted by aliens. Some of the story was alarming, graphic, and very descriptive of what she believes happened to her.
The writing was done well, the author does not try to sway our thoughts, he just writes it as he heard it and leaves the rest for us to make our own opinions. I appreciated that. If you believe in the body snatcher aliens then this book will be something you will enjoy.
I want to thank John Hunt Publishing Ltd and NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to read and review this book for my honest unbiased opinion. This one comes in with 4 stars.

I never read non-fiction. I certainly don't read non-fiction alien books! However, something drew me to this book. I have to say I have been left speechless. The whole content is fascinating and terrifying in equal measures. I'm not sure where I stand in terms of belief but it has certainly given me food for thought and I have to admit to resonating with certain things mentioned.

This isn't normally the sort of book I would read but was really interesting. It left me with questions and wondering if there is something really out there.

I received a Galley proof of this book via Netgalley, so a big thank you from me to the Publisher, and of course Netgalley.
What’s it all about?
Firstly, this is not a book I would usually read and provide a review for, but I’m glad I did. The book is a presentation of a series of interviews centered on a person called Susan, who is experiencing emotional and physical trauma in relation to close encounters of many kinds! This book is not what you think ! It does not lend itself to the usual Alien visitation writings, but is a very human story of courage, strength and more importantly a warning!
The writer positions himself as neither an advocate, or repudiator of such claims; but merely reports the testimony and fact checks the information as far as humanly possible. This is a true story, as claimed by the person called Susan. Who is very relatable and ordinary. The testimonies are detailed, torturous and macabre; providing the reader with some very emotionally difficult witness accounts to absorb and understand .
What’s good about it?
Many things are good about this book, its very readable, and keeps you interested. It also makes you think and keeps you questioning your own position on fact or fiction as the accounts unfold.
What’s not so good about it?
I personally would have liked pictorial content to support the narrative, but I realise that the difficult subject matter would not have lent itself easily to it.
Overall
A great book, well written!
Are we alone ? Did I think it was fact or fiction ? Well you’ll have to read it and make up your own minds. All I can say it felt real reading it.
