The Reaction by Helena Coggan
5.0
I received a copy of The Reaction from Hachette New Zealand to review. I recently read and reviewed the first book, The Catalyst. You can read my review here.
I really enjoyed The Catalyst so I was really excited to read the sequel. I think this picked
up a few months after the first book left off, which was a great ending. But The Reaction was a little confusing in places. Helena has a way of building up a storyline and then leaves you hanging for a while until whatever it was she left you wanting to know is revealed later in the book. She also did this in The Catalyst too so even though there were things that confused me and were left up in the air I knew that they would eventually be revealed somewhere in the book. It also had me reading the book faster. I think Helena Coggan is definitely an author to watch!
I loved The Reaction, even more than The Catalyst. I think all the confusion added to the
story and stopped me guessing or figuring things out earlier in the book. I did click to one of the main storylines which I thought was genius! I cannot wait for the next book.
There was another cliffhanger at the end of this book. Even bigger than the one in The Catalyst. So far, for me, these books have gotten better as the story goes on. I know there have only been two books so far but if this was a five star book for me I’m expecting good things for the next one. I hope I’m not setting myself up though.
If you haven’t read these books yet then I highly recommend you do because the writing is flawless and the twists in this one left me wanting more.
