I wonder how the story will pick up from the first game in terms of the Reapers and such. I'm a bit puzzled how finding out why humans are disappearing has to do with it.

Read the novels. 

Won't the novels spoil anything?

I doubt it unless you haven't played the first game of course.

I've played the first game like 5 times lol.. I might consider getting the novels then. Thanks.

They run parallel to the main story.  One is before and one is after the events of Mass Effect.

The first one details the history of Anderson and Saren that is heavily referenced in the first game.  The second one introduces you to the Omega base and offers a possible explanation for why humans might be going missing all of a sudden, and another way the Reapers might get to the Galaxy.

But I'll leave those spoilers for avid readers.
