Resistance by Stephanie Judice

 

My Guest ~ Stephanie Judice

The journey continues in RESISTANCE. Gabe, Clara, and the rest of their clan travel north to meet with the gathering Setti training and planning for the imminent attack on New York. Along the way, they must avoid and/or battle the reapers and shadow scouts dogging their trail.

Book two in this saga could very well be described as the calm before the storm. While there are several battle scenes, including one that is quite large, the reapers and shadow scouts move stealthily, tracking and hunting the one enemy with a power equal to their own—the Setti. Clara’s world grows ever more complicated when she meets the alluring, blue-eyed Michael from a new clan, as well as the enigmatic shadow scout Sveigja, who has horrifying plans of his own for her future.

Troubled love, lurking danger, death-defying battles, and oh yeah, comic relief from our favorite Sounder and resident smartass, Jeremy. What more could one ask for? A bit darker than the first, the next installment in the Saga of the Setti series won’t disappoint. Happy reading!

Resistance Blurb & Review

Blurb

The world is covered in darkness. A constant gray pall reminds the Setti that reapers are still here—watching, waiting, hunting. Gabe, Clara, and their clan must leave the relative safety of Beau Chêne, Louisiana, in order to train with others gathering in the north. No one knows what lurks when night falls. Yet, Gabe and Clara both know that they must chance the danger in order to fulfill a dark destiny.

While Gabe grows in confidence, Clara begins to doubt everything, including her feelings for Gabe. Looming between them is a growing chasm. Clara’s constant defiance against Gabe begins to sever the bond between them. New clansman and fellow Guardian, Michael, steps in all-too-willingly to take Gabe’s place as her confidant and more. Good-looking and self-assured, Clara finds his charms difficult to resist. She wonders why she should resist at all.

Jessie, now a shadow scout, defies the reapers’ malevolent power. She reaches out to Clara, yearning for the impossible—to be free of the reapers’ enslavement.

Beyond Clara’s battle to save a lost loved one and to keep Gabe close to her heart, another threat stirs, whispering to Clara in the dark. Something evil hunts her. Will she listen to the one who calls to her in nightmares and eventually finds her in the flesh? Will she succumb to his will or will she cling to her human soul and her human heart?

Review

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! Resistance starts out right where Rising left off. Clara, Gabe and their clan head north to meet up with other clans to begin training. A war is coming and they better be ready.

What I love most about Saga of the Setti series is the wonderful characters. In a world where monsters are destroying everything and everyone you hold dear, a few band together and fight back to save the world. I had already grown attached to the main characters from Rising and now have more characters that have attached themselves to me. Stephanie Judice has a way of making you feel what they feel and experiencing their pains and struggles. She mixes humor in at just the right moments and I found myself laughing right after I had just shed tears.

One of my favorite characters is Clara. Clara is a Guardian in Homer's clan. She has experienced more than her share of heartache. In Rising she had to watch as her mother was killed, her cousin was turned into a shadow scout and now in Resistance she has to leave her father behind to train and save the world. If all of that isn't enough, she has problem's with her boyfriend Gabe and is tempted by the new HOT bad boy Guardian Michael. (Well maybe the two guys aren't so bad) I wanted her to succeed in coming to terms with her loss and I honestly didn't know what I would've done about the guy situation. I just know I like Clara and I will continue to watch and see what is in store for her.

I honestly love this book and I highly recommend you go right this second and get the series! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I am eagerly awaiting Revolution, the next book in the series!
