Publisher's Summary

We want our son returned.

This girl is proof that we can save you all. If you ignore our plea, we will kill our hostages one at a time.

To be a Pure is to be perfect, untouched by Detonations that scarred the Earth, and sheltered inside the paradise that is the Dome. But Partridge escaped to the outside world, where Wretches struggle to survive amid smoke and ash. Now, at the command of Partridge's father, the Dome is unleashing nightmare after nightmare upon the Wretches in an effort to get him back.

At Partridge's side is a small band of those united against the Dome: Lyda, the warrior; Bradwell, the revolutionary; El Capitan, the guard; and Pressia, the young woman whose mysterious past ties her to Partridge in ways she never could have imagined. Long ago a plan was hatched that could mean the Earth's ultimate doom. Now only Partridge and Pressia can set things right.

To save millions of innocent lives, Partridge must risk his own by returning to the Dome and facing his most terrifying challenge. And Pressia, armed only with a mysterious Black Box containing a set of cryptic clues, must travel to the very ends of the Earth, to a place where no map can guide her. If they succeed, the world will be saved. But should they fail, humankind will pay a terrible price....

Book 2 of the Pure Trilogy.

    "Leaves you hanging"

    I really liked the first book "Pure". This one however, just didn't seem to spark my interest like the first, and leaves you hanging, with multiple open story lines. It's a rather lengthy book, that in my opinion doesn't progress the series very far, and might be best to wait on the final book, to listen to the whole thing at once.
    The narration can be tedious at times with the way each narrator has a main voice, but also does the rest of the characters. This can get confusing at times. Would have been much better, if each narrator would have just been the voice of one or two characters, and have synchronized their reading.

    "A mess"
    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    This is one of the most confusing and messy books I've tried in the audible format. I could not finish it because if felt like such a mish-mash of scifi/romance/dystopian end that it just turned me off. This book had potential, but did it's best not to reveal a thing besides a pair of romances denied that it was just not interesting and I had to stop listening and trade it in.

    "A Fantastic Story"

    I really enjoyed the story, and adore the characters and the writing. It is quite a fascinating plot.

    My one complaint is Casey Holloway, as a narrator in this one, she was far too robotic, the way she read was choppy and lacking inflection. I had a hard time paying attention to the parts she read because I was so bothered by her(though it wasn't like that in Pure).

    Fantasy, adventure, sci-fi, mysteries, and poetry- just a few of my favorite genres.

    Story
    "Fused to my iPod..."
    Would you listen to Fuse again? Why?

    Heck, yes. I love Julianna Baggott's Pure trilogy and the characters are complex and well written. However I do not care much for Willux's friends, the Mothers, or even Partridge's girlfriend Lyda (mostly because I find her to be a bit selfish and weak). I guess that one of the things I admire about Baggott- she really knows how to create people that you love to hate.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Fuse?

    There were three or four moments that really stood out to me for being very horrific, romantic, and/or realistic in their details.


    Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I have listened to many stories read by Kristine Hvam and I love the stories and the way she gives the character's their own voice. With this story, however, the many POVs is more interesting and gives the characters their own personality.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes.


    Any additional comments?

    I hope The Mothers die, especially the Head Mother and that El Capitan finds love. Cannot wait until the final book comes out.

    "ichi - ni - san - shi - go"

    Pressia, Bradwell, Lyda, Partridge,and El Capitan, are all once again on a mission to bring down the Dome. If you have read the first book, then you will definitely enjoy this one! This is full of adventure, romance,sadness and has excellent narration! This will keep you on the edge until the very end – however it will keep you hanging. If you don’t like to wait for the ending, then I recommend waiting until the next and final book comes out before you start this one.

    Story
    "Interesting post apocalyptic series"
    What made the experience of listening to Fuse the most enjoyable?

    I enjoyed having different narrators for the main characters view points


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Fuse?

    When Pressia "cures" Bradwell in the final chapters of the book. I cannot wait for the next book to find out the effects of the cure.


    Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

    I would identify with Pressia the most, although El Capitans character grows well in this book


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    The fusion of beings is quite gruesome, especially " the Mothers"


    Any additional comments?

    The only part of the book I did not like was the singing, I suppose it would be fine written but singing in an audio book makes me cringe. Thankfully it tapers off as the book continues.
