Fever by Lauren DeStefano

4.0

At the beginning of the book, I was really annoyed at Rhine. She and Gabriel barely managed to escape the mansion, and she somehow managed to get them in trouble again. But it wasn't really her fault, and I shouldn't have been so upset with her. Because after spending the entire first book wishing for freedom, she finally managed to get it, even if not for long.

It was hard for me to read about Gabriel in this book. He suffered a lot, and he didn't deserve it.
Spoiler He got addicted to drugs, and it wasn't that easy for him to recover from his addiction.
But he wasn't the only one who suffered, because Rhine had payed for her escape with more than just her freedom. I had a surgery last year. They took me to the operation room, and told be to count back from ten. I was gone after about five seconds. And then I woke up, and I had no clue where I was, or what's going on around me. I saw people, I heard voices, and I was gone after a minute or so, back to dreamland. I woke up a few times later, and every time I tried to focus on reality, on what was real, but it was so hard, because my body just wanted to go back to sleep. So I went through this for about a day or two, and Rhine suffered that for months.
Spoiler Vaughn put her through things I don't wish to my worst enemy. He made her question what was real, and what's not. He made her wonder if she'll survive to see the sun again, and if he'll ever let her out of his basement of horrors.


The writing was great, just like the first book. And I think I fell in love with Rhine even more after I finished reading this book.
