Blackout by Meredith McCardle

I've said this countless times but I really do hate cliffhangers! WHY DO AUTHORS ALWAYS DO THIS TO ME?
I refuse to accept cliffhangers anymore!

Also, this sequel was better than I expected as well! I'm so happy I haven't hit the terrible two's lately or read super bad books this week alone. Overall, I really loved this book. It gives you a whole bunch of stuff, like: deception, corruption, time travelling, betrayals, truths and like I said A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF.

Amanda/Iris is still a member of the Annum Guard and when she thought everything was going to change for the better - it didn't. Nope, because there's a new thorn in her paw (metaphorically speaking!) and that thorns name is: Jane Bonner. I was kind of hesitant on how their relationship would be because I didn't want anything bad to happen to Amanda/Iris because there was someone new in charge that was making things difficult.

Then there are the amazing missions that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I couldn't look away from the pages. I was just so freaking invested that I wanted more and I didn't really want the chapter or the book to end, ever.

Trust me, it was so freaking good! I couldn't put the book down! I was just devouring it so quickly that I really had to physically step away from this book. I hate going through books so quickly now because I'm basically already done with my reading challenge for the YEAR. I just haven't typed up all of the reviews that I've read so far. Trust me, there's a whole bunch of reviews I need to type but life gets in the way. SO even though I read very quickly and work is always getting in the way, I will probably write my reviews more slowly?!? Maybe?!? I don't know!

Back to this book - it was amazing. It was fantastic. It had me on the edge of my couch the entire time. I'm pretty sure I'm almost spilled wine or dropped my glass a couple of times. I loved everything about it and I can't wait to dive into the next book!
