Forced into the shadows while waging war on an oppressive regime intent on controlling those born with unnatural powers, the Resistance feels like a family. And although all families harbour secrets, theirs are world-shattering.

When Ava Moore foresees the death of her sister Brooklyn and Resistance leader Parker Quinn is forced to appear in a televised trial accused of murder, the web of lies begins to unravel. For not only is Resistance’s second-in-command, Jay Frazer, fighting a guerrilla battle with deadly consequences, he’s also trying to bury his deep-seated love for Parker.

With Parker and Jay temporarily out of the picture, double-agent Trent Reese is left responsible for leading the Resistance. Trent is willing to adapt his moral code to any situation, but what—or whom—does he believe in? As for innocent Ava, who’s plagued by unsettling visions, it’s becoming clear that everyone she loves is in peril. Given, however, that Parker is concealing a mighty gift of his own, one that could change the entire course of the rebellion, the future of the all-seeing state is on the line too.

When the web of secrets is untangled, who will survive?

4 out of 5

This was an intriguing book. I loved the characters, and got wrapped up in the plot pretty quickly. My only complaint was there were so many POV. It adds depth to the story, but at times it gets fairly confusing. There was a lot going on in this story, and it all intertwines to make an unforgettable story that will make it hard to set this book down once you start. I loved the dystopian vibe the book had, with curfews, trials conducted as a TV show, and of course, the resistance. A great book for dystopian thriller lovers!

“It’s her,” I mumble, letting my voice become a whine towards the end with zero shame for it. My grip on the other man’s hand turns painful, but he still doesn’t protest.

“I’m sorry for your loss,” Taylor says and moves to cover the body back up. “Let’s get you out of here.” He comes towards me and I immediately drop Reese’s hand. I allow them to grasp one elbow each and escort me out of the room like a lost child.

I am lost, though, aren’t I? Brooklyn is gone, Parker is gone, and the Resistance? I was there because of Parker and Jay. Oh my god! Jay! When he wakes up, he’s going to be pissed. He’ll go after Parker like a thirsty man seeing his personal oasis. I’ll have to stop him. I’ll have to keep him safe, for Parker’s sake. I lost everyone else. I’m not going to lose my pseudo, reluctantly adopted brother, too. And then we’ll gather the troops and help Parker clear his name the legal way; or as legal as people like us can manage. He’ll be seen as a killer by everyone, but after everything he has done for me, I won’t let him be executed in the name of misguided justice. Family is what makes us stronger and, with Brooklyn gone, I will concentrate on the only other family I have left. Her killer.
