First - this is not a standalone, and you'll feel a little lost if you don't read book one first. Now that that's out of the way, on to the review. I've been dying to read this after the cliffhanger the first book left us with, and I was not disappointed in this new installment. The story itself is filled with action, unforgettable characters we've already come to know, and just enough twists to keep you wondering where the story will turn next. Polen does an excellent job of bringing the dystopian setting to life, unfolding the story around the reader, making it easy to forget where you are as you read. Definitely a book you do not want to miss out on if you enjoy action packed dystopian thrillers!… (mais)

This book picks up from book one, so you really need to read these books in chronological order. Yet, you won't be sorry you did. I grew even more closer to Asher, Noah, and Brynn in this book. They have grown so much from the first book. More like strong fighters that were more than capable of attempting to take down Director Silas Reeves.

I was curious how the plot twist that came in the form of the cliffhanger in book one would play out in this book. Asher definitely had a personal dilemma to figure out with the surprise. There was no lack of action to be found in this book. As I was more invested in the characters, I was really rooting for them. A nice wrap up to this story. I would read more books by this author.… (mais)

I enjoy reading dystopian books. They are a nice transition from sci-fi to dystopian. Plus, I can really image dystopian books as being like the future; thus, the reason I enjoy these types of stories. If done right they can be very believable.

Asher, Alpha team leader. He is joined by Noah, his best friend and Brynn, Noah's sister and Asher's girlfriend. There is also Luciana, Beta team leader and others. They are fighting to save humanity from those who are seeking great power.

This story moves as a really good pace with plenty of action to keep my attention. While, Asher may be the Alpha leader, Brynn is a strong female lead character as well. The bond that Asher and Noah share is wonderful. The further I got into the story the more intrigued I became. As if my enjoyment did not already make me want to read book two, the cliffhanger did it for me.… (mais)
