The Guardian continues the tale of Liberty Connor and the town of Blackbrooke. We pick up where we left off with Liberty surviving her encounter with the Queens and being taken to the Institute. Whilst there she is tormented by Mr Jones, constantly being questioned about what went on that night when she handed over Cassius. Everyone is desperate to know how four of the Queens ended up dead and how she and Cassius survived.
I'm not going to over-do the review, I don't want to give away too much about the story as that is one thing I dislike myself.... Nothing worse than spoilers.
What I will say is Emma needs to be punished for torturing me. I didn't know if I was coming or going, in fact I felt as though I was in the Institute with Liberty. I would think I knew what was going to happen next and then the rug was pulled out from under my feet and I would end up on my butt, trying to get my bearings again.
I was in tears, I laughed my head off, I was in shock and I wanted to commit murder all at the same time. I found this book to be just as much of a roller-coaster as the first book.
I was disgusted by the actions of Mr Jones to his daughter, Gemma. He's a heartless bastard and deserves everything that he gets coming to him. I love Liberty's interactions with Denzil, he is such a brilliant character and helps to keep her grounded. His love for Marie is very touching and the pain that he was obviously in when he thinks he is hallucinating had me in tears. I do tend to get attached to character's and he is one of my favourites. Please don't kill him off, Emma.
I found that this book has a lot more drama and horror than the first book but it doesn't detract from the story, if anything it enhances it. It gives the story just the right amount of creepiness that it needs too.
I thoroughly enjoyed all the twist and turns, including the ones I didn't expect and I cannot wait for the third book to come out.
