Rebel - Joanne MacGregor

♥♥♥♥♥

What an ending to a great trilogy! This was the first time in a very long time that a series has sucked me in like this, especially a dystopian. When I heard of it, I thought it will be just another dystopian, how wrong was I? The premise sucked me in, and I read each book almost immediately when it came out.

You see how far Jinxy has come from the gamer who played the Game to keep her mind of the plague. All the characters who have grown on us are back and ready to fight. There are several twists and turns and just when you think you have figured everything out, there is a new curve ball thrown at you. This is what makes a great trilogy.

The last book is no different, it wraps up everything and you feel a sense of closure. Thank you Joanne for keeping the waiting period very short, I wouldn’t have survived a longer wait!

I would recommend this series in a heartbeat.

Refuse - Joanne MacGregor

♥♥♥♥♥

To start of let me say that I got an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.

This book was amazing, it doesn’t happen often that the second book in a trilogy is as exciting as the first and last books, but this one was action packed and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

“All sixteen year-old expert sniper Jinxy James wanted was a little freedom, but now she’s trapped between the government and the rebels, unsure of who the real enemy is. When she uncovers appalling secrets and twisted motivations, Jinxy begins to question her allegiances. Soon she will need to choose between love and freedom, as she struggles to do the right thing in a world gone horribly wrong.”

Refuse was just as wonderful as Recoil, it picks-up straight at the cliff-hanger of Recoil (Go read it now if you haven’t already) you follow the ups and downs, the emotions, with Jinxy. And can I just say the characters draw you in, you can’t help but love Jinxy, and of course hate some of the others.

The pace was fast and once I started I couldn’t stop, and yes I almost emailed the author at 11 at night to ask for more.

Definitely a must read for Dystopian fans, and this one has a twist that sets it apart from others.

Recoil - Joanne Macgregor

♥♥♥♥

The first in the Recoil trilogy, and I must say it hit the mark. I am hooked and can’t wait for the rest of the series!

The story follows sixteen year old Jinxy, who is brilliant at an online game, she, along with the rest of civilisation, is trapped in their homes as there was a lethal plague caused by terrorist attacks. Nobody goes outside and everyone plays The Game.

This book grabbed me from the beginning, just when I thought I am over the whole dystopian phase. Jinxy is a great character and her determination to be the best was catching. The character development is believable and you can’t help but love even Sarge.

Of course Jinxy wasn’t told the whole story and when the truth comes out she has to make big decision.

The bonus of having the first chapter of Refuse (the second book) was both a relief and a curse as now I have to wait to be able to continue.

Definitely a must read if you enjoy dystopian novels, and for gamers, you will enjoy this one.

Quick mention too, isn't this cover just absolutely gorgeous!!!
