Given how book 2 ended, I thought the action would be right there from the start of book 3 but it wasn’t. Unfortunately though, Deliverance was a bit of a let down for me. I would say that Ms Redwine isn’t afraid to take her characters to places that other authors would shy away from and I really appreciate that in these two books. While I could guess what would be happening in each book, I felt like I was always surprised and didn’t find them to be overly predictable. Both books start rather slow in my opinion, but all it takes is one good twist and the ball starts rolling in both. Defiance features some great twists but Deception takes the cake with great plot twists abounds. It’s all about uncovering the truth about the Cursed Ones and what happened to Rachel’s father. The fact that we get duel POVs from both these strong characters is fantastic.Īs I said before, the romance between these two really takes a back seat. Logan is also a great character! He’s a great match for Rachel and I think if the plot was solely focused on Logan I would enjoy this book just as much. Although she did begin to irritate me at the start of Deception I can forgive her based on the events of the previous book and she does improve drastically by the end of the novel. Simply put her maturity about everything is what I really like about her.

She was smart and determined and doesn’t mope around after Logan. While Rachel probably follows every stereotype of the typical rebellious girl, I liked her a lot. It was great to read a book about a strong heroine. Regardless, this series is more of an action series set in a post-apocalyptic world that has a dash of romance. Why I thought that I’m not too sure because the synopsis sure doesn’t give me that impression when I read it again.

I went into Defiance thinking it was going to be more of a romance novel set in a dystopian-like world.
