Series: Rebel #2
Author: Lance Erlick
Publication Date: October 1, 2014
Genre: YA Sci-Fi
Synopsis
Voices
in 16-year-old Annabelle Scott’s head aren’t God or signs she’s going
mad—yet. Despite being a Mech Warrior recruit, she rebels against her
post-Second Civil War society by not only refusing to kill Morgan, a boy
she’s attracted to, but also helping him escape.
Annabelle’s
commander gives her auditory implants and contact cams for an
undercover assignment to investigate her corrupt police captain. Morgan
hacks the implants to plead for her help in freeing his brother. As a
pawn in a bigger game, can she find a way to help Morgan and discover
the link between an attempted assassination of her adoptive mom, the
geek institute, and her police captain without falling into a trap,
being exiled and separated from family, or getting herself and those she
cares about killed?
The Rebel Trap was written as a standalone story, but also follows Annabelle’s adventures from The Rebel Within.

MY REVIEW
Annabelle Scott has voices in her head. No, she is not going
crazy. One of them is her military commander and the other is a boy that wants
her to help his brother escape. In order to help his brother escape she will
have to risk her life and her families. Annabelle is not sure it is worth the
price. Not to mention she is on a case that she can’t tell anyone about, even her
sister whom she shares everything.
Annabelle has to complete her top secret mission, protect
her family, and possible save a boy. What’s a 16 year old to do? Get into
trouble of course. :D
I haven’t read the previous books in the series, but I read
that it could be read as a standalone and jumped at the chance. I loved an
adventure packed mystery. I knew I didn’t trust a couple of people but some of
them were tricky. Annabelle has absolutely nothing to work with since she couldn’t
tell anyone what she was doing. She did a pretty good jog getting around
though. One thing that bothered me though was that she kept using the same
excuse over and over. I wished she would have been a little more creative instead
of saying she was to do her best all the time.
The book is told in multiple points of view which took me awhile
to adjust to, but I really liked knowing what everyone was thinking and doing.
There was a lot going on but I felt like I could keep up.
I found this book to be unique since I haven’t read any book
about women being the supreme sex. It was interesting to learn how all of it
happened and how the men are treated now. I don’t agree with the men being
abuse but a big heck yeah to women rule! Lol I can’t wait to see what mischief Annabelle
will get into next.
Overall: The Rebel
Trap was very entertaining and I recommend to any one that likes a good top
secret missions.
