Deception: Number 2 in series (Defiance Trilogy, #2)

by C.J. Redwine

In this daring sequel to DEFIANCE, with the world they once loved forever destroyed, Rachel and Logan must decide between a life on the run and standing their ground to fight.

With their ragged group of survivors struggling to forge a future, it's up to Logan and Rachel to become the leaders they need. Under constant threat from rival armies and no place to call their own, the group decides to take their chances in the Wasteland, despite the deadly risk of The Cursed One.

But soon their problems begin: someone - possibly inside their ranks - is sabotaging the survivors, picking them off one by one. They begin to question whether the price of freedom may be too great. And whether their band of survivors, hunted by their enemies and the murderous traitor in their midst, can make it out of the Wasteland alive. . .and whether Rachel and Logan can survive these trials together.

I loved the plot of this second installment! It's packed with a lot of feelings. I'm particularly fond of Quinn's and Rachel's relationship. (Sorry, no spoilers ;) ) Logan is faced with problems from all sides, and has to learn how to be a leader, which is a path I enjoyed seeing him take. This was a book of character growth, and I liked that.

Now, the only things that kept this one from getting five stars, were the 'shocking thing I won't name' and the switching between POVs.

The shocking thing, wasn't all that shocking to me, but it may be just me, so don't take me on this one.

Ah, but I love when the boys tell their story -Only when I don't confuse it with the girl's one. I took my time to read this, and sometimes I would stop in the middle of a chapter, and then pick up where I left off the next day, thinking I was reading about Logan, when, I suddenly realize, I'd been in Rachel's head all this time! Oops. This was a problem mainly during the first and middle part of the book. Towards the end, I feel their personalities are more defined, and I appreciated that change. ;) (It's alright, but you should work on that Mrs. Redwine)

Overral, I enjoyed the read and was glad to have had the opportunity to follow Logan's and Rachel's story. I'm excited to see what happens next!

I'll just wait here.
