Everyone wants Jinxy, except the one she loves.
In a near-future USA decimated by an incurable plague and tightly controlled by a repressive government, teenagers with special skills are recruited and trained to fight in the war against terror. Now a rebellion is brewing...
All sixteen year-old expert sniper Jinxy James wanted was a little freedom, but now she's trapped between the government and the rebels, unsure of who the real enemy is. When she uncovers appalling secrets and twisted motivations, Jinxy begins to question her allegiances. Soon she will need to choose between love and freedom, as she struggles to do the right thing in a world gone horribly wrong.
Refuse is the second book in the Young Adult dystopian romance trilogy that began with Recoil. This much anticipated sequel is filled with romance and heartache, shocking twists, and a thought-provoking examination of freedom, fear, loyalty and identity. Refuse begins immediately after the cliffhanger ending of Recoil.
Great reading for fans of The 5th Wave, Hunger Games and Divergent trilogies.
Review :
"Superb Dystopian Trilogy: Wow - this trilogy just keeps on getting better! It is totally different and enthralling with great characters, an intriguing plot and could so easily come true in the near future that it is frightening, too. A delicious blend of suspense, thriller, mystery and romance along with plenty of twists, turns and intrigue. The story takes the reader through the whole gamut of emotions - especially in the last ten percent and just when you think you know what will happen next, the author adds another twist to throw a spanner in the works and prove you wrong again. This is a fantastic addition to the series and I highly recommend that anyone interested in it reads the novels in the correct sequence as they lead on from each other. It is a superb series and I have no hesitation in highly recommending it." - Splashes into Books Blog
