Book Review: Captive

I just finished the second book of The Blackcoat Rebellion and it does nothing to diminish the awe of this series!

For Fans of:

Legend by Marie Lu

Captive

by Aimee Carter

Kitty, masked to now be Lila, the niece of the prime minister of this dystopian North America has not played nice.  She uncovered secrets that were best left covered.  Prime Minister, Daxton Hart, must do something with her before the Blackcoats become any stronger.

Thrust into "Elsewhere," a prison village, Kitty must find the strength to survive the beatings of other inmates, to find the correct people to trust and who to avoid, and find any secrets that will continue to help the rebellion.

Those Kitty had begun to like, and even trust, turn on her, and in a place like Elsewhere, where all the inmates will do whatever they can to make their position stronger, Kitty must figure out if any of the inmates or guards are truly trustworthy.

This story is great for multiple reasons.  First, the book picks up right where the first one left off--and Kitty is ready for the next step.  Also, instead of more of the same rebellion, plotting against the government, Carter places Kitty in an entirely new environment--one synonymous with death.  Carter shows the underside of the rebellion and just how widespread it is.  The reader never truly knows who to trust, and we go back and forth hating and loving Knox--and hoping Kitty will be able to count on him in the end.

There are also quite a few jaw-drops.  Secrets are told, past lies are found out, and you are left having to continue turning the page until hours have gone by and the book is finished! I cannot wait for the third installment of this series!
