Nocturnal Book Reviews

Rebecca, honestly! Why do you have to be so ruthless? You know what I'm talking about!

Another strong installment in the series. It's not as intense as the first one, and I do believe Rachel is much more angsty in this book, but the plot is fast-paced and gripping.

This time Rachel has to go on a journey with Chad to Liberty where they will have to ask for reinforcements to protect Genesis from the imminent underground invasion.

The journey as you can guess doesn't go as planned and soon the couple will have to run for their lives, find how complicated their new world is and make some tough sacrifices.

I still find Rachel's mixture of naivete and practical ruthlessness very refreshing. She is not sure of herself and of what she is doing, but her reasoning is that nobody else is doing what needs to be done, so it might as well be me.

I liked the end of book two and very much looking forward to what's going to happen next. My only complaint as always is that there is not enough world-building. There are some tantalising details, but I really would like to know more about the enemies and what happened after the Apocalypse.
