I’m so glad I bought second and third part of this trilogy together because I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT I CANNOT WAIT 😤
Those books are really quick reads because of the way they’re written, but they’re so entertaining and interesting, and I don’t really remember much from the first part (since I read it a year ago), but I feel like this one was even better because we got to know more characters and got to know the whole rigged system better. It was not *perfect* but I really liked it anyways.

Day 7 is a fantastic second instalment in this series. Picking up just where Cell 7 left off, this book continues to explore social class, conspiracy and media influence in a way I’ve not seen before.
I love that these books do not shy away from the nitty gritty truth that the media paint things in a certain way. Although I despise the nature of the reality shows in this book I love reading those scenes as it’s so interesting to see how the public are portrayed as reacting to what they are fed. I would like to think that I wouldn’t be so easily sucked in but I’m sure we all have been at some point or another. It’s really quite frightening when you think about the influence of the media and those up top who can control what goes out to the public and how it goes out. Frightening indeed.
There were plenty of shock twists and turns and a couple of them did leave me a bit teary eyed (if you’ve read the book you’ll know what I’m talking about!). The plot continued to be strong and I really enjoy how steeped in conspiracy this whole dystopian society is. It was refreshing to read the story from multiple POVs and I still really like all of the characters in this book. They all have their own stories and voices but are tied together perfectly.
The ending certainly left me wanting more – I just need to know what is going to happen next!
Thanks to Hot Key Books, Kerry Drewery and NetGalley for my advanced copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.
