"Insurgent" by Veronica Roth


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.
