B/c I'm pretty sure that I have book 1, and I'm pretty sure it looks nothing like this. Why am I rambling about the cover? B/c I've been seeing this book everywhere, and I had no idea it wasn't the first in a new series b/c UNFAMILIAR. I hate it when that happens. And I need to hurry up and read Varients so I can read this one too.

I've been debating whether it's a series I should find time to fit in. It's too bad it has the second book syndrome, but it sounds like it all works out pretty well and it wasn't a big issue since you still really liked it. I'll hang onto my copy and see if I can get the first one eventually.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701325312535440179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-11836254396575331212014-06-24T09:29:07.284-04:002014-06-24T09:29:07.284-04:00I loved Imposter Jenny, and despite having some se...I loved Imposter Jenny, and despite having some second book issues, I enjoyed Defector too. There's just something about Susanne Winnacker's writer that compels you to turn the page.

I vaguely remember people talking about it and liking it? But it must not have left much of an impression on folk if I can't remember any serious praise for it. After reading your review, I could see myself digging this book actually, even if it suffered from the classic middle book syndrome.

I always expect a bit of middle book shuffling but I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it and that those elements didn't detract from the story. Sounds like Tessa has her head on straight when it comes to Alec and the new romantic interest, and I'm thrilled to hear it. Lovely review!

So good! "She asks for time to sort through everything while still admitting to herself that her love for him remains the same." Thank heavens that there's such a YA heroine! I already love Tessa! Haha. Thank goodness that the love triangle aspect is very, very mild. I'm glad you enjoyed this one and I hope you'll enjoy the sequel just as much if not more :)Siirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265532869057616598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-46569849381845364112014-06-23T14:18:19.904-04:002014-06-23T14:18:19.904-04:00So excited to read this book!

Aspects such as a new romantic interest always throwable off balance when I've gotten into the groove of a series, so I'll likely wait to see how this trilogy ends before diving into it. I'm definitely eager to see the plot of this trilogy unfold when I finally read it. Lovely review, Jenny!Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.com
