Warning: This is the last book in a trilogy if you haven't the first two books you may not want to read this.
Allegiant 
by Veronica Roth got some seriously hateful reviews. I understand why some people were upset by certain things in the book, but if you can over look the emotionally traumatizing parts of it, it's still amazing. It's a very well written first person perspective book. The only thing that differed between this book and the first two books is that it has two perspectives. One chapter was Tobias's view, and the next was Beatrice's view, however; this just made me love Veronica's novel even more.
Allegiant
picks up where Insurgent 
leaves off. Beatrice is locked in a cell awaiting a trial from the factionless members. The factions have been completely taken over and disassembled by Evelyn and her people. The biggest secret of all time has just been released. Evelyn chooses to ignore it. She wants nothing to do with the outside world, however; Beatrice & her friends want to go. They want to join the Allegiant and get out of Evelyn's dictatorship like grasp before another war breaks out. A war now between the faction lovers and the people who were never accepted by them. What's really beyond the border? Was all of the secret revealed or will there be more to it? They're running out of patience and out time to find out. If they're going to go, they have to go now. Time. Will there ever be enough of it to amend family issues or is there a line drawn in which some matters are simply unforgivable?
I'll be honest the twist at the end got me. Like I said, I get why people were upset, but I don't get why they just hated the book. I thought the route Veronica chose to go with the story was realistic, and beautifully painful. It was hard for me to process everything at first. I think I was just in denial,but I think her choice made me respect more as an author, because she, herself became dauntless. Her decision was unbelievably brave. She knew what she wanted. Fan response, and she definitely got it.Divergent Trilogy
is a must read!

Warning: If you haven't read Divergent
the first to this trilogy, you may not want to read this review.
Insurgent
by Veronica Roth is the second book in a trilogy. It's another first person perspective book that I really love. The suspense builds higher and higher with every page.
This book picks up right where Divergent
left off. Beatrice wakes from a nightmare about the massacre that took place in the Abnegation faction. She and the other survivors are staying with Amity. The factions are on the brink of war, but Amity chooses to stay out of it. Beatrice hears Marcus tell Johanna, the Amity's leader, that the Abnegation leaders died protecting a very important secret. She's determined to find out what it is. Amity's peaceful refuge doesn't stay peaceful for long. The Erudites and Dauntless traitors want the Abnegation survivors. They want the Divergent. A gun fight breaks out and Beatrice and her friends make a narrow escape, losing some people on the way. They must determine the next plan of action which leads to the biggest betrayal no one would have ever expected & the revealing of a secret that could destroy the factions. Forever.
This, just like the first book should not be started late at night, because you won't want to put it down. There's so much suspense that builds up in it. Veronica Roth definitely knows how to suck readers in. You literally want to laugh when the characters laugh, and cry when they cry. It's so easy to put yourself into her books. I couldn't read it fast enough. I had to know what the secret was, and if all my favorite characters would live long enough to be in the next book. The unexpected twists and the betrayal. Oh the betrayal! My heart physically ached for characters.The secret was pretty crazy too. If you haven't read the Divergent Trilogy
yet, i'm telling you now that it is a must!
Rating 5 out of 5.
"Divergent" by Veronica Roth is an extremely adventurous book. It's another first person perspective book that I fell madly in love with. It's your typical YA book with a couple of twists. There's a love story or two, different betrayals, and it's action packed.
Teenage Beatrice Prior is just about to have her choosing ceremony. Her choice could change her life forever. She can choose to stay in her own faction, stay in the area she grew up, be an Abnegation forever, or she can transfer to a different faction. Here's the catch if she transfers there's no going back. No family visits. It's faction before blood. Here's the next catch if you transfer you have an initiation process at the new faction. If you fail, you're factionless forever. Forced to live in the almost uninhabitable parts of the city. Will Beatrice transfer & go after a new life or will she stay an Abnegation forever? Stay with her family.
This is honestly one of my favorite books. The first one out of a trilogy. I loved all three of them. There's so many different twists in not only this book, but the trilogy as a whole. The book made me think a lot. It had me in it's grasp from the first page. It's a book you don't want to start late at night because I promise once you start reading it you don't want to set it down until it's done.

Warning: If you haven't read the first book Matched
I would not read the review for it's sequel, Crossed. 
Ally Condie continues Cassia & Ky's dangerous journey with Crossed.
Something I really loved about this book besides the first person perspective, was that there was more then one perspective. I loved that one chapter was from Cassia's view, then the next was Ky's view. This way even though they were separated you still knew what was going on.
The first book ended with Ky and the other male Aberrations being sent away to play decoys in the middle of a war zone. The officials promised full citizenship status back to those who served out there for six months, however; the Aberrations aren't fools. No one survives in the outer provinces that long. Ky's memories of Cassia is all that gets him through the day. The dream of one day seeing her again. Ky makes a couple new pals all longing to escape. How would they though? There's no where to run. No where, until they get stationed at a certain camp. Ky's original home before he moved to the inner provinces, and he remembers something. In order for there to be any chance of his plan working he'll have to leave almost everyone behind to die. Can he do it? Back in the inner provinces Cassia left Xander behind and is still trying to escape the city and go after Ky, however she's running out of time. Xander's still holding on to hope he can eventually win Cassia's heart, but he understands the importance of finding Ky so he gave her some things she could use on her journey. However the things he gave her are questionable. Will they help or cause more harm?
Cassia is staying at a reformatory work camp, when officials come for Aberration girls making them go play decoys right in the middle of the war zone too. In which Cassia finds her way out. She pretends to be an Aberration War zone or not she knows Ky has to be out there some where. The only question on her mind now is, once she is outside the walls can she stay alive long enough to find him?
This book is a little more suspenseful the the first one, but just as enjoyable. How many more secrets is the society hiding? Just like the first book I'd highly recommend this one too! The rebellious nature, the realization of how many choices were really taken away, the love story is just precious, but how long will it take for this love triangle to really be solved? How much would you risk to get the ones you love back?
I'd rate this 4 out of 5.
Ally Condie created the perfect dystopian love story. I'm not usually very big on the whole romantic aspect of books, but this book and it's sequels definitely held my attention. One of my favorite things about Matched
was the writing style. It's from a first person perspective so I get to read it as myself. I sincerely love books written in a first person perspective because it makes it that much easier to really put yourself into book & connect with the characters.
Teenage Cassia Reyes believes she lives in the perfect society. You never have to feel the weight of being pressured by anything because the officials choose everything for you. EVERYTHING. They choose when you eat, what you eat, how much you eat, where you work, when your free time is, what music you can listen too, who you get to fall in love with, and when you should die. What's not to love right? Assuming you get to love at all, they might just nominate you to be a Single. Forever Alone. The match system is perfect. The officials match you once you turn seventeen. You get a big banquet, then they pair you off with someone you've never met. You get a microcard to study up on your match. Matched at seventeen, marriage contracts at 21, and you can have two kids as long as you have them before 30, and you die on your 80th birthday. It's all based on genes & common interests. Don't get to many citations though, they may just write you up as an aberration or worse! An anomaly. Luckily for Cassia she knows her match. They're best friends actually, grew up in the same borough even. Very rare. A couple to be jealous of for sure. Everything was just perfect until there was a mishap with her microcard. When she plugged it in, her match didn't come up. Another boy did. The irony is that Cassia realizes she knows this boy too. She knows the microcard was an accident, but she still can't help, but be curious. She sets off on a path of forbidden interests, only to discover how unperfect the society really is, and the dark secrets it harbors.
In my opinion Matched
is a must read, it's not as gory and gruesome as other dystopian novels such as The Hunger Games Trilogy 
or The Maze Runner Trilogy
, but it's still plenty action packed. It has a good subliminal message & it's one of the cutest love stories.
Rating 4 out of 5.
I'm a total book junkie. Like when I meet new people & they something like "Hey what do you do in your free time?" Or "Hey what do you like to do to have fun?" My answer is reading. "Hey, you thinking about college? You know what you want a degree for?" Umm...Yes. My dream job would be getting paid to read books before they hit shelves. I'm not really sure what different options I'd have to do so, maybe being an editor? Regardless, that'd be amazing. When it comes to books and reading i'm very enthusiastic about it. When a book comes in the mail, for me it's like Christmas morning. Then I have family members who totally despise reading, and they'll tell me that there's just something wrong with me. To which I laugh because nonreaders just don't get it. They'll never understand the enjoyment a book can bring, and for that I pity them. I think it's probably my enthusiasm about books that make people interested in my opinion of the books that I read. I have people all the time texting, calling, emailing me you name it, wanting to know if I've read this book or that book and what I thought about it, and if I have any book recommendations. I felt like even though I love talking and comparing my opinions of books, explaining my thoughts about the same book like over 20 times was a bit much. So the other day my step-dad came up to me and was like why don't you just make a blog about books? I was like what about them? and he was like hmm.. lets see... Instead of telling 800 people about the same book over and over, each time you finish a book why don't you just post your thoughts and give your opinions publicly. Which as you can see by my post, I agreed to it, finding the idea simply brilliant. I was just disappointed I hadn't thought of it first. Long story short, this is where my journey of book reviewing really begins.

by Ally Condie is the third & final book to the 
. This book threw in a third point of view into the mix. We get to know Xander a bit more. Seeing things from his perspective along with Cassia & Ky's. I can honestly say I loved this trilogy from beginning to end. One of the best things about it is that even though there are some sad parts the ending is relatively happier then any other dystopian novel I have ever read!.jpeg)
