5.0

Actual rating: 4.5 stars

Helix is action packed and kept me on the edge of my seat -- I absolutely adored it!

This is book two in the YA dystopian ISAN series by Mary Ting.  The story is told in the dual POVs of Rhett and Ava, which added a lot of depth and gave me more of what I was wanting after the first book -- Rhett!

Mary Ting has a phenomenal writing style and is an amazing story teller.  She has created a fascinating world in this series.  The stakes are high, the characters are complex, and the romance that's weaved into the story is ridiculously swoon-worthy!

The plot picks up right where ISAN concluded and is just as intense.  I like seeing more pieces to this puzzle falling into place.  Of course, there is still a lot to be told but the story arc that started at the beginning of book one has continued at a good pace and has left me anxious for book three.

The cast of characters is so fantastic!  Not only do I love Rhett and Ava, but the secondary characters are just as interesting as the leads.  The friendships are fierce and the bonds are strong!

Overall, I absolutely recommend Helix!  This series is one of my favorite YA dystopians, and fans of the genre should enjoy this one!
