Book Description:
Annie and Fia are ready to fight back.
The sisters have been manipulated and controlled by the Keane Foundation for years, trapped in a never ending battle for survival. Now they have found allies who can help them truly escape. After faking her own death, Annie has joined a group that is plotting to destroy the Foundation. And Fia is working with James Keane to bring his father down from the inside.
But Annie's visions of the future can't show her who to trust in the present. And though James is Fia's first love, Fia knows he's hiding something. The sisters can rely only on each other - but that may not be enough to save them.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved the first book in this dulology, seriously, it just rocked, Fia, rocked. She was kick butt, snarky, a little bit crazy, loyal and just everything I love in a good heroine. Heck, she was everything I would love to be!
This series blew me away.
Kiersten White, blew me away.
This is just one of those books that you need to pick up and experience for yourself because really, there aren't word to tell you how much you will love it, how much it will captivate you, draw you in and leave you thinking about it long after it has ended.
It leaves you never really knowing what Fia was capable of doing, what was really going to happen and even really who could be trusted. You can't help but eagerly turn the pages wanting more.
The world was imaginative, original and will completely capture your attention after the very first chapter.
All I have left to say is this, you don't want to miss out on this, it is a must read and because of this duology, I will read anything the author writes in the future.

I think you and I are the only ones who really love these books. I started this not knowing it was a duology, so I was understandably crushed when I reached the ending. The writing, I thought, was particularly good, especially Fia's messy POV.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you loved this, perhaps even more than I did.
Great review. :)
I loved that about this series, how messing and real Fia was. Glad you love it too!
DeleteYou got me all excited about a new series. It's not like I don't have enough on my TBR list :). That was a great review. I haven't heard of this series, but now I cannot wait to read it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya but I do hope you try this one, it really is fantastic!
DeleteAhhhh! Yet another series I need to read Ali! At least it's a duology which is easy enough to get caught up on and now I can just read both books back to back. So glad to see such a high rating from you, I'm really excited to get my hands on these! Yay for being blown away:)
ReplyDeleteI think what I loved most about this was how unpredictable Fia was, she was all over the place but in a good crazy smart kind of way.
DeleteOh this releases soon! Yikes, I need to figure out how to get my hands on it! I'm so glad to hear and wonderful and that you warned me that it's a duology. Can't wait to see what happens!
ReplyDeleteThanks Candace!

ReplyDeleteI loved Mind Games, so I'm excited to read this one! The world sounds so amazing, and I'm looking forward to seeing how everything will end.
ReplyDeleteIf you liked Mind Games then you will love this one too!
DeleteIt's been a hot minute since reading Mind Games, but I remember enjoying it. A lot. I have this in my Kindle & I am beginning to think I have to re read or at least skim MG 1 to refresh my memory.
ReplyDeleteYour review made me more excited to get to task.
I am not getting any new books to review until I make a SERIOUS dent in the ones I have (my personal goal for 2014) so it shouldnt be long!
Hopefully..Now, the not getting any new books thing..Well, that may be a bit harder than I originally though. Maybe I can add some "caveats" to the "clause". lolz!
Real quick, did you read Uninvited yet? OMGOMGOMG I LOVED IT!!
DeleteCant wait to see your review..
Yes I did and I loved it too! My review posts this week I think. I am so glad you loved it too!
DeleteI hope you like Perfect Lies as well although if you liked Mind Games than you should. ;)
Ok Ali, I put book one on my wishlist after reading your review and I think maybe Maja's not 100% sure but after reading this..they both got bumped up the list. I am excited by your excitement!
ReplyDeleteYay I am so glad you are giving it a chance!
DeleteI hope you love it Heidi!
ReplyDeleteI did not realize it was a duology! that's great, I have to pick up book 1. It seems like you really loved it. If the main character is that much fun then yes please hehe already looking it up in the library
ReplyDeleteI hope they have it!
DeleteI really loved the first book, and am SO excited to read this, especially now that I know it is a 5 star read for you. :-) Somehow I didn't know this was a duology so I'm kind of bummed to hear this will be the last book. But still excited to read it. Fabulous review!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to love it Lauren!
DeleteHellz yeah! Fia is my girl. But I loved the role Annie took in this one. Awww, sisters. lol
ReplyDeleteMe too Christy, and the romance, that was a nice touch. ;)
DeleteAwesome review. This is another series I'm adding to my never-ending TBR list. I feel like Buzz Light Year regarding it - "To infinity and beyond!" LOL.
ReplyDeleteI feel like that most days as well about my TBR pile, it seems to grow more than I can delete!
