And the story continues... It picks up right at the end of Danger's Halo, and you are once again thrown into the action. Holly and her friends are still trying to stay alive in a world that is crumbling around them. There is no rest and no safety, so all Holly can do is try to keep those she cares about safe. And, if she can take out those who want control, and make life better for everyone at the same time, even better. I love Holly! I love her selflessness that she sometimes denies. I love her bravery, strength, loyalty, determination, and no quit attitude. I also really enjoy Daze, with his too mature for a child personality. It seems honest in the harsh reality he has grown up in.
My favorite thing about this story, though, is the way Amanda Carlson tells it. She can capture the sights, smell, and feeling of the situation without just describing it. You see the world through Holly's eyes in a way that makes you live the story. The action scenes make my heart race and the scenes of heartache make me cry. The characters are so life like it makes me forget that the story is fiction, and when I am forced out of the story by the real world it takes me a few minutes to come back to myself. These things are what I love so much about Amanda Carlson and this story in particular; I forget I'm reading it, and I become Holly. I have recommended this book to everyone I know, and if you enjoy kick-a** female characters who can do it all then I recommend this book to you, too. I can't wait to read the next book!
