BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Injured and on the run, it has been seven days since June and Day barely escaped Los Angeles and the Republic with their lives. Day is believed dead having lost his own brother to an execution squad who thought they were assassinating him. June is now the Republic’s most wanted traitor. Desperate for help, they turn to the Patriots – a vigilante rebel group sworn to bring down the Republic. But can they trust them or have they unwittingly become pawns in the most terrifying of political games?
REVIEW: This was book 2 of the Legend series and I couldn’t wait to begin it. The story picks up directly where it left off in book 1 and the intensity didn’t ebb at all up to the end. This installment took so many twists and turns. There was deception, intrigue, heartbreak and strength in all of these characters. June and Day are put through so many tests. Their devotion and dedication to one another is pushed to its limits when they are forced to follow different paths. One of the most intense scenes I’ve ever read was in this book. I found myself holding my breath and reading so fast so I could hurry up and know what was going to happen. A lot of the supporting characters in this installment drove me crazy. There was so much speculation, blaming and jumping to conclusions. I just wanted everyone to get along! Then I realized that would make for a very boring story. The angst is what made it so great to read. There were surprise revelations that I did not expect, and even deaths that I did not see coming that really hurt. Our characters had come so far in this book, yet there is still so far to go. I can’t be left with not knowing how it ended, so book 3 here I come!
