This book really gets on my nerves. Not because of the plot or writing or anything, but because there is so much back handed manipulation and deceit that I just want Maggie and Caleb to get through it so they can have their happily ever after.

This book definetly did not disappoint, it keeps you reeled in until you realize there are no more pages left. And it's the worst feeling ever when you realize you finished it in one day.
Defiance begins where Accordance left off. Seriously, the time lapse between Accordance and Defiance is an hour at most. So we see now that Marla is an enemy that is trying to destroy Maggie. But that isn't her only enemy, the council's leader will stop at nothing to keep Caleb and Maggie apart. The reason? To protect their precious Visionary. Now Caleb and Maggie are facing the council for the deaths of a couple Watsons from Accordance. But not everything is as it seems. The council's rules definetly need to be updated and some are trying to use Maggie's power in their favor. But everything gets worse when the Watson's plans come to light and Maggie must bring Bish and her father to London to keep them safe. Somewhere where normal humans aren't allowed. The Jacobson family stands beside Maggie as they try to figure out what Marla has up her sleeve. Enemies become allies and no one is safe.
We are introduced to several new characters in Defiance. We meet the council and several members of other clans. We also see some light as to who Maggie's real father is. Maggie is beginning to grow as a character and we see her start coming out of her shell. She starts speaking her mind and telling the council what should be done. She's not sitting back and letting people take advantage of her anymore. Caleb? I think with every book, he's becoming more and more perfect. Seriously, why is he a fictional character in a book? Why isn't he real? *sigh* Anyways, Caleb is still amazingly sweet and willing to do anything for Maggie. We see more of Bish and Jen as well. And trust me when I say it's aggravting. I know Jen has Maria to think about but still...I don't know. And we see more of Rodney! He becomes a more constant character in this book.
This book had me going through a lot of emotions. I was happy, then mad, frustrated, swooned, mad some more, and then sad. The ending is definetly bittersweet as we lose a character that I, for one, loved. But we also see 3 more imprints that make you so happy to see. So just be prepared to cry at the end. All in all this book was great and had many twists and turns. I can't wait to read Independence.

This is the part of the book that made me angry/very sad. Don't read if you don't want the ending spoiler. Rodney was such a sweet character and deserved to be happy. And I was so excited when Maggie had a vision of him meeting his significant. But someone has to get the short end of the stick, don't they? So, when Rodney was killed protecting Caleb and Maggie, I was in shock. I didn't believe it. At first I thought he was just injured. Then when Caleb holds him and says he's gone, I broke. Not only because it was Rodney but also because of Caleb and Kyle's reaction. They were heartbroken and it was just sad. And if that wasn't enough Maggie ends up meeting Rodney's would-be significant. She was clueless and said she just felt sad because she didn't know Rodney well enough. So she was already in withdrawl and it was just depressing.This book had me going through a lot of emotions. I was happy, then mad, frustrated, swooned, mad some more, and then sad. The ending is definetly bittersweet as we lose a character that I, for one, loved. But we also see 3 more imprints that make you so happy to see. So just be prepared to cry at the end.

"To be all in, no regrets, no turning back, no matter the consequences. It felt a lot like freedom."
oooh, action packed and full of answers to questions I've been wondering. Happy, sad, frustrated and angry - this book made me feel all of those and more. The writing is so well done that even the sappy moments, I don't want to roll my eyes. I just smile and roll with them.
I love this series. I can't wait for the next one!

Really enjoyed this book! It was a fast read, most of the events lead up to the climax at the end of the book. If you enjoy books that boarder on just being fluffiness, but has some action this is a good book to read.
