THE TRUTH COULD JEOPARDIZE EVERYTHING …
Eden Pruitt didn’t find the enemy. She stumbled upon the Resistance and unwittingly led the military to their doorstep. Because of her, they have been all but demolished. Most are dead. Several more have been imprisoned, along with Cassian Gray, the dangerous, tantalizing boy Eden loves.
As Cassian’s execution draws near, Eden must convince the Resistance to let her join them. They have the same mission, after all. Stop the Monarch before he carries out his evil plans. Step one of that mission—rescue the prisoners. Step two—destroy the Monarch’s army of super-human soldiers. But in convincing them to accept her, Eden's forced to hide who she really is. What she really is . . . one of the soldiers they’re bent on eradicating.

MY THOUGHTS
Oh my goodness! What a thrill ride! This is action-packed right from the start, and the excitement hardly ever lets up. The relentless pace and stressful situations the characters found themselves in had me speeding through the pages as fast as I could.
I was so excited to dive back into this series. It picks up right where the last one left off, so I'd recommend starting with book one. This is not a standalone.
This story takes place in a futuristic version of the United States that, sadly, doesn’t feel all that far away from actually becoming reality. In fact, there were times I forgot I was reading a fictional book because it felt so real.
The ending leaves off on a doozy of a cliffhanger, so I’m very eager to start the next book. I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys high-stakes, unputdownable thrillers.
FOUR STARS
Is the next book out already? Cliffhanger endings are only bearable when you don't have to wait too long to read the next book. ;D
ReplyDeleteIt is. I'm actually just about to start it. :D
