This is the thrilling and romantic sequel to Defy the Stars from the New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Lost Stars and Bloodline.An outcast from her home -- Shunned after a trip through the galaxy with Abel, the most advanced cybernetic man ever created, Noemi Vidal dreams of traveling through the stars one more time. And when a deadly plague arrives on Genesis, Noemi gets her chance. As the only soldier to have ever left the planet, it will be up to her to save its people...if only she wasn't flying straight into a trap. A fugitive from his fate -- On the run to avoid his depraved creator's clutches, Abel believes he's said good-bye to Noemi for the last time. After all, the entire universe stands between them...or so he thinks. When word reaches him of Noemi's capture by the very person he's trying to escape, Abel knows he must go to her, no matter the cost. But capturing Noemi was only part of Burton Mansfield's master plan. In a race against time, Abel and Noemi will come together once more to discover a secret that could save the known worlds, or destroy them all. In this thrilling and romantic sequel to Defy the Stars, bestselling author Claudia Gray asks us all to consider where--and with whom--we truly belong.

Book 2 in a YA series, Sci-fi. Sometimes a sequel gets stale, but not this one! The adventure of human Noemi and sort of human Abel deepens as Noemi is kidnapped, a new world is discovered and her home world is threatened. A perfect blend of imagination and interesting characters, this is a good second book, and I'm looking forward to reading number 3.

I looooooove these books. Book 2 in a trilogy, these keep me on the edge of my seat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

For me, this one was not quite as good as the first book in the series, but it was still a fast-paced, fun sci-fi listen. I like the characters, love the future view of Earth humans, and appreciate that these books are not filled with some of the more common YA cliches (read: I didn‘t roll my eyes until they hurt). 😂

I‘ve got book 3 on hold. 👍🏻

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Melissa_J I‘ve got the first on ready to go! I‘m glad you like the series. 5y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Good to know! Thanks for posting. I‘ve been curious about Claudia Gray. I‘m currently trying my first Kiersten White! 5y

@RachelO Thank you so much for this beautiful book. This may sound weird, but I love the way it feels. It's so soft, I keep running my hands over it. And thank you also for the postcard. I do love Agatha Christie, so it was perfect. 😍❤

rockpools 😊 And goodness! That has to be the quickest transatlantic bookmail ever! Hope you enjoy it x 7y
Traci1 @RachelO it was super quick and in perfect condition. 😊 7y
LibrarianRyan That edition has such a better cover than the US edition. In case you didn't know it's a sequel. 7y
Traci1 @LibrarianRyan it is so much prettier than the U.S. version. I wish when you bought a book, you could opt to receive another country's edition. I read the first one last year. 7y

A sci-fi-romance-thriller, so about as far from my comfort zone as it's possible to be, but I rattled through it in just a few days. I believed in the characters, cared about their plight & was thoroughly creeped by THAT bit. I enjoyed travelling to other worlds with them & could happily follow without reading the 1st book in the series.

But that ending! 😱**Douf douf douffa douffa**

This was an ARC which I won through #readersfirst

rockpools If I've understood the reading ahead thing right, I'd like to use this for #NewIn2018 for #Booked2018, as I'm sure to be back to reading backlist very shortly! Thanks @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft 7y

Goodness knows how I'm going to review this, because the sum total of my vaguely-sci-fi reading is Hitchhiker's Guide. But , for whatever reason , I CAN'T WAIT!

Diving right in now...
