Summer reading is great. There’s nothing better than diving
into a book and losing yourself in the pages. However some books come with
terrible consequences. Consequences that leave you extremely tired and grumpy
the next morning. Like a hangover but not for drinking, it’s a hangover for
staying up too late reading because you couldn’t, for the life of you, put the
book down. So WARNING: this book will
give you a book-hangover. You’ve been warned. Now about the book…
So Cindy M Hogan, the amazing author of PROTECTED, book two in the WATCHED
TRILOGY, does pretty bang-up job rehashing the first book without being too
overly drawn out. You could probably even start on this book and pick up what’s
happened, but why do that, right? Go ahead and read the first book then come
back and read the rest of my post.
Don’t worry. I’ll wait…
Read it? Wasn’t it awesome?!
The second one is even better! PROTECTED is filled to the brim with tension and page flipping
suspense. You don’t know when or if the bad guys are going to show up and take
out this poor girl. What I really liked about this book was the theme behind
it, which I believe is accepting who you are and holding on to that. Without
spoiling the book too much (this happens in the first few chapters), Christy
gets put into witness protection and has to become another person, a person,
who normally wouldn’t have great values or moral strengths. Christy is
confronted with the opportunity to forget all the beliefs she has grown up with
and truly change…for the better or worse? What the author does is show us that
we must be true to ourselves at our center. Even if we are playing a part we
have to remain true to our core beliefs. This book is very self-rewarding to
read.
Yes! I have already started on book three, CREATED, which I spent my entire day off
reading. I am a slow reader but I am ¾ of the way through it already! The next
book gets even better. I won’t spoil my thoughts on it yet—I haven’t finished.
I will tell you I am all geared up with Cindy M Hogan’s new series featuring
the same main character in the WATCHED
TRILOGY. If you haven’t added this amazing series to your read list, now is
the time! I’m serious when I say this series needs to be made into a movie!!
Summary: Christy has the guy. The terrorists have been taken
care of, and she has a shot at becoming popular. Life is GREAT! Until they find
her. Now she must run and leave behind everything she knows, including herself.
When Christy returns home, she discovers that not much has changed. Not only is
she still an outcast, but the bullies are even more persistent than before.
When the guy that sends her pulse racing shows up, everything changes.
Unfortunately, her feeling of triumph is short lived when the terrorists from
DC come calling. Now, Christy and her boyfriend need to find a way to escape
and hide.
