I was pulled into this book quickly, loving Sawyer's feisty attitude and fiery personality. I loved Jon's (aka Bones) character and hope to see more of him as the series continues. The exact make-up of Sawyer's (Red's) harem is still TBD, but I have suspicions on who will join the picture in upcoming books. I loved Sayer's connection with Oliver; he seems to be my current favourite. Cain is all fire and bite, but I am all for the angst he brings to the storyline. I can't wait to continue reading the series. I also highly recommend the audiobook, which has multiple narrators adding to the experience. I am giving Rebels & Rejects a 4.5 / 5 Star rating for this strong start to the series.
