If you enjoyed Powerless, then Reckless is a must-read. Not only does it continue the gripping storyline, but it also resolves the cliffhanger left at the end of the first book. The author's ability to keep readers engaged with the characters and their predicaments is commendable. Reckless is a thrilling sequel that will leave you eagerly anticipating the next installment.
In Reckless, the intensity of the cat-and-mouse game between Paedyn and Kia reaches new heights. With Paedyn on the run and Kia tasked with bringing her back, the stakes are higher than ever. Powerless ended with Paedyn killing Kia's father and Kia allowing her to escape, but Paedyn isn’t in great shape due to her injuries.
Adding to the tension is the sense of betrayal that Kitt feels toward Kia. His unpredictable nature makes him a dangerous presence, and the intricate dynamics between the characters in this book are truly captivating. The back-and-forth keeps you on the edge of your seat, making it hard to put the book down.
As Kia relentlessly tracks Paedyn through the treacherous Scorches and into the unforgiving city of Dor, his loyalty to his brother and his duty as an Enforcer clash with his growing feelings for a woman he once considered a friend. In a land where Elites no longer hold power, the line between hunter and hunted blurs, and both Kia and Paedyn must navigate a dangerous game of survival.
Caught in a web of political intrigue and betrayal, Kia and Paedyn uncover dark secrets about the new King and the true nature of the Purging Trials, forcing them to question everything they once believed. With each passing day, the tension between Kia and Paedyn grows, fueled by conflicting loyalties and undeniable chemistry. Facing countless obstacles and adversaries, they must decide whether to trust each other again or let their past destroy any hope of a future together.
One aspect I truly loved about this book is the main female character, Paedyn. She’s incredibly strong-willed. No matter how bleak things seem, she always finds the strength to keep fighting and survive. One of her friends even calls her a "cockroach"—a funny yet fitting nickname, given her refusal to give up and her knack for escaping tough situations.
