The Rebel Trap by Lance Erlick
5.0
Living in a world where us women are trained to fight men and have to kill them because they are meant to be extinct, is not a world I want to live in, which is why I'm glad this is only a book. Although, I found it weird to have been written by a man lol.
This book had me laughing and angry at the same time. The main character, Bella, is more than just rebellious; she has feelings. She purposely lost a fight against a boy, Morgan, because she didn't have the heart to kill him. Instead, she helped him to escape along with the help of her Mom. Ever since she was snatched from the arms of her birth mother and she never met her father, she has been a strong person, even in the hardest of times.
Sam, who I honestly do not like, at all, was always in her head, in the literal sense. Bella had a chip in her head and contact lenses that Sam could see what she could. Not only that, Morgan tapped into her chip as well. He wanted her to help him get his brother out of "prison" before he was killed.
Bella worked for Sam and the police department for two witches (replace the 'w' with a 'b') who did not like her. In fact, they more than just didn't like her. They wanted her dead. Until then, they tried to use her to spy on Sam while Sam used her to spy on them.
In the midst of all of this, Bella was torn because she couldn't tell her baby sister, Janice, what she was doing. Sam saw and heard everything she did. Not only that, Sam was controlling Janice as well. I loved their communication style, drawing with their fingers on each other. Their relationship reminds me of the relationship I have with my cousin. We are so close and tell each other everything, no secrets allowed.
In the end, I was happy with how the story ended. I will be going back to read the first in the series and then the last in the series. Morgan and his brother got out, despite Bella almost being sent back to prison and then exiled. Her sister coming on board to help her despite the laws that are to prevent them from doing that shows a lot of courage and a lot of trust.
I highly recommend this book and I commend Lance Erlick on writing this book from a female perspective, killing off his own kind. Well done
