The things you saw and the people you met in both Rebel Belle and Miss Mayhem were present in this. I loved that not a single moment slipped from this book. But that being said, it was so bittersweet and hopeful. I thought coming into this that it wasn’t necessarily going to be happy, and I was right. This novel built on every piece of foreshadowing that the previous novels gave. What really mattered here was the care they have for each other as people and how that manifested. You got bits and pieces of the feelings Harper and David have for each other, you just simply got them with distance. That being said, I didn’t feel like romance was necessary for the entire book. There’s hardly a thing to complain about, but I would’ve loved a split POV (or just a chapter in his POV here and there) to better understand where he was coming from. If there’s anything I wouldv’e liked more from this book, it would’ve been more David. Still, seeing his situation (and Harper) from his point of view was so necessary to this book. I was so happy to see that there were snippets from David’ point of view, even if they appeared without warning or acknowledgment in the middle of a chapter. I was initially surprised at the length, but I think if it had been any longer it would’ve begun to drag. And this book is proof of that.Īfter suffering the heartbreak that was the end of Miss Mayhem, I’d been anticipating this release since the minute I finished the sequel. At this point, if you haven’t read Rebel Belle, you’re seriously missing out. It was happy, it was sad, it was funny – it was everything this series needed. I’ve spent a lot of time with this series, and with Rachel Hawkins’ writing, and I could not be happier with this conclusion.

Review: If you don’t already know, I’m an enormous fan of Rebel Belle. Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Contemporary Now, it’s a desperate race for Harper to find and rescue David before she backslides from superhero to your garden-variety type-A belle. Ordinarily, Harper would be able to fight off any Paladin who comes her way, but her powers have been dwindling since David left town, which means her life is on the line yet again.

Overwhelmed by his Oracle powers, David flees Pine Grove and starts turning teenaged girls into Paladins-and these young ladies seem to think that Harper is the enemy David needs protecting from. Summary: Just as Harper Price starts coming to terms with her role as David Stark’s battle-ready Paladin, protector, and girlfriend-her world goes crazy all over again.
