Summary - Lisa thinks she knows everything about her new life. She can deal with the boundaries and even being torn away from her family. But Alex withheld more than she ever expected. Like, what happens when you lose control? How about when you begin to realize just how trapped you are? He leaves out a lot of stuff about himself too. He doesn't mention the dangers of some of the others—or of what she herself can do…
Traitor is a very intriguing and mysterious read; full of
questions and twists along the way. It was still a great story adding the
mystery of Alex and Ally and the history behind their immortality. The meaning
of C I N is revealed, but is it the truth or a lie?
Again this revolves around Lisa, Ally and Alex, but with the
introduction of a bunch of new characters that only adds to the evolving twists
and turns of their lives. Since Lisa was changed, she and Alex are starting to
get on each other’s nerves. They are arguing, fighting and are having second
thoughts. With each argument, emotions get intense causing weather anomalies with
major destruction. Lisa is feeling guilty and really trying to control herself.
After one particularly bad fight, Lisa goes into the garden and is approached
by a couple that appear to be like Lisa.
Lisa is kidnapped and held in a cell with a strange woman
that claims she is the beginning of all like Lisa. While Lisa is captive she
listens to this woman and her stories. Lisa tries to work everything out; the puzzle
pieces are there, but they just won’t fit together.
Is this secret cult real or was the beginning misleading
her? Why is Alex keeping so many secrets if he truly loves her? Who is this
other girl that was a part of Alex’s life? What is happening to Lisa and her
abilities? Is she turning to the dark side? What is happening to Ally, why is
her hair losing its colour?
There are so many elements to this particular instalment and
it took me a while to work out what to write in my review. There is a lot of backstory
about a society and the discovery of the other beings like Lisa. Secrets are
hidden, but if revealed could save them all. I didn't enjoy this one as much as
the first, but it was still a good read with intriguing and mysterious
qualities. I am looking forward to reading book 3 and finding out what is in
store for Lisa and Alex next.

About the Author
Christina Leigh
Pritchard was born and raised in South Florida. Her first stories were written
at the age of nine in $0.15 wide ruled spiral notebooks (which were supposed to
be used for class) ;o)~ and in the various diaries she kept. Stories she wrote
from age nine to twelve fill about four storage boxes!

The author says, "I breathe novels. Is there really anything else
worthwhile besides writing and of course faith?"
What she says the most rewarding thing a person can do:
1. "Give all
of your excess. You don't need it so why store it and allow it to collect
dust?"
2. Listen to the stranger next to you whether on a bus, plane, park
bench-whatever. Learn all you can about them and then notice how in such a
short amount of time they had the ability to teach and/or change you!

This sounds like an interesting series Katie and i love the protagonist's name- Traitor. So unique and a little scary :) At first glance of the cover it looks like a creepy, horror novel. Instead it sounds like a character driven novel not a scary one after all!
