Thank you SO MUCH to NetGalley's Author Collective 20 for allowing me to read the second book in the Broken Bonds series prior to publication - I found the first book the same way, and as soon as I saw there was a sequel, I KNEW I had to read it. And let me tell you, I was NOT disappointed.

I don't know how Raven More managed to ratchet up the tension, anticipation, and total need to find out what happens next from Of Blood and Crowns to the amazing ride that is Of Blood and Betrayal, but oh my goodness, did she ever succeed. 

The sequel surpassed my wildest expectations, keeping me on the edge of my seat from the first page to the last - meaning that I ABSOLUTELY MUST have the next book to find out what happens!

I am completely hooked on this series. The characters are believable and realistic, the situations are relatable to the point where you're feeling the emotions as if you're in the room with the main characters, and each victory or defeat is felt as if the reader was personally involved in the rebellion.

"Of Blood and Betrayal" is the perfect merger of Collins' "Hunger Games" series and Aveyard's "Red Queen." I cannot wait to find out what happens next.
