No Easy Way Out
by Dayna Lorentz
The second book of the Infectious trilogy follows the second week of the viral outbreak in the quarantined mall. The senator is scrambling to restore some resemblance of order--assigning people home bases to sleep, eat, and shower. Her daughter Lexi is trying to help, but when she meets Marco, she has a few other things on her mind, namely, does he really like her and can she trust him?
On the other side of the mall are Shay and Ryan, desperately trying to be together, but knowing that would risk Ryan's freedom.
A couple of love triangles ensue, and when a new outbreak of the virus starts targeting teens, the scrambling is even more desperate...
No Easy Way Out picks up perfectly where No Safety in Numbers left off. Lorentz is true to all of her characters, especially the ones you hate--in this installation, you will hate them more. Rife with narcissistic teens, gang-type groups running the show, and love triangles, this book will leave you on the edge of your seat.
Lorentz is able to capture the severity of the situation, and to create a teen atmosphere without too much use of inappropriate language or sexual content. While there is some of that, as well as drinking, Lorentz focuses more on her story-line and less on stereotypical actions of teenagers.
Book No.2 is a tad longer than the first, but I'm pretty sure it reads just as quickly as the first one. I can't wait to get my hands on the already published book No.3:
