Revolution Review


In the fourth and final installment, everything is on the line. Merrick's life is in the balance and Lily is their only hope. Ellie and her new powers are miraculous, but also problematic; if she's with the bunker family, they won't be able to sense when the Lighters are there. There are many new members to the bunker and sparks will fly, and with the food shortage, they will all have plenty to deal with. Miguel is intrigued with Rylee, her past and her spunk. Ryan and Elli are barely scratching the surface of their relationship. Cain and Lillian will have to deal with Daniel, who has no qualms about showing his true feelings for her. And Sherry and Merrick…what will happen to this happenstance family who have worked so hard to come together? Can they all survive? Can they all withstand the new enemy that is right outside their door? Can they beat the Lighters, once and for all.
 
My take?
 
5 HUGE stars!!
Would I recommend this to other people:  Absoulutely!!
Is it appropriate for 14 and under:  Maybe
Language and content:  No language, mild content and violence
 
This is the last book in a series of 4 books of the Collide series by Shelly Crane.  The book starts out where the last on left off, Merrick has been mortally wounded.  The Lighters know where they are and keep attacking, they are running out of food...everything looks like they've lost.  It all comes down to the final battle, everyone is sorting out their feelings for each other, all the Specials are learning and refining their skills.  Will it be enough?
 
This book was amazing.  I laughed and cried through the entire thing, it was an emotional rollercoaster for me.  I wanted to rush to the end to find out what happened, but being that it was the last book, I wanted to savor it and make it last as well.  I have enjoyed watching the relationships grow between the Keepers and the humans, them excepting each other.  This book gives the best closure to everything, I couldn't have done it better if I'd written it myself.
 
I look forward to reading many more books from Shelly and can't wait for more from her.
 
Up next...
