In the compelling sequel to Blackbird, Anna Carey delivers a gritty and
adrenaline-filled story of a girl desperate to escape her mysterious and
terrifying assailants. Told in second person, this heart-pounding thriller puts
the reader in front of the target.
A week ago, you woke up in Los Angeles with no memory of who you are. The only
thing you knew: people are trying to kill you. You put your trust in Ben, but
he betrayed you and broke your heart. Now you've escaped to New York City with
a boy named Rafe, who says he remembers you from before. But the two of you are
not safe. The same people who are after you are tailing Rafe as well. As the
chase heats up, your memory starts to return, but your past cannot save you
from the terrifying circumstances of your present, or the fact that one wrong
move could end this game forever.
With enemies on every side, and not a reprieve in sight, Deadfall will
grab readers and refuse to let go. Perfect for fans of the Maze Runner series
and the Legend series.
My
Review: Finally! This series is over. I was very 50/50 on whether or not I was going to finish this duology after the first book, but I went for it.
This one was about the same as the first one. I didn't love it, but I didn't exactly hate it either. More like it was just meh.
Told in second person (still not my favorite thing) just like the first, it basically gets right into where we last left off. New characters and the answers were finally coming in.
However, the love triangle gave me a headache. But then in the end for Lena to decide she was going to do life solo just made that triangle so not needed.
It's a fast read, suspenseful and kinda an okay ending. I wasn't in love with this series like I was with Anna's Eve series. It just didn't do it for me, but I'll still continue to give Anna's book a read since her Eve series did become a favorite of mine. Who knows, maybe the next book will be a winner for me.
