I. Loved. This. Book. LOVED.

Let me just begin by saying . . . I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. What a ride!

Second books are normally the make it or break it for most series. This book far surpassed my expectations, which is a really cliche thing to say. But it's true. I practically read the book all in one day. And that's rare for me.

The story is emotionally gripping. And the mind games? So. Intense. I don't know who to believe, who to trust. I can't even trust Lune's judgement about . . . anything. The secrets continue to unearth and only grow more haunting and more intense.

The story's pacing was brilliant and kept me flipping pages. I swear, I barely drew breath! And the writing. Gah! The writing was gorgeous.

Characterization didn't waiver. Not once. And honestly, that's what sold this book to me. Especially the middle. I wanted to scream and pound on Lune for easily falling into trust, especially with a certain character. ESPECIALLY after this character confessed their ability. My red flags were waiving furiously. And yes, I intentionally obscured gender as to not spoil. Because, OMG.

Worldbuilding is amazing. I love how well thought out this post-apocalyptic world is. And, I love that it's plunked in the middle of nature. So many dystopian / post-apoc stories are sterile and/or in wastelands. But this world teams with nature, even mutated nature that feels terrifyingly prehistoric at times. The primal nature emerging from the infected human DNA is sensorially rich and . . . downright animal.

And that ending (!!!)

READ THIS BOOK.

I'm stopping here - not ordering the 3rd book

Note to author: I tried! I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your writing style. You are so talented and I felt very torn in my decision to stop reading this series after completing this second book. I understand not everyone will agree with my point of view, however, there are millions of readers just like me and I wanted to pass this along so you know where I am coming from. I sometimes read the notes from the author after I complete a book and, although I appreciate your sensitivity to language, I was surprised and disappointed at the level of physical lust between Lune and Bren . I say "surprised" because I noticed your first thanks in both books was to God for helping you complete this project. Please understand, I am NOT your judge and I realize not all of us believe the same way. These are your books and you have a right to write them the way you wish, but if you are interested in appealing to readers like me (and others), I wanted to let you know personally. To me, it seemed the lust was forced into scenes (possibly after they were written) to make the book "spicier". It just went too far for me. In today's world, I admire those who don't "take the bate" to do this just because some believe you need to in order to find success. You are truly talented enough without it and would bring into the fold readers like me to faithfully read any future work. Just thought you should know. Best withes to you.

Put Adaptive down once you start—I dare you. ;)

Do you like romance? Me too.

Action? Check please!

Dystopian? Okay, me not so much. BUT. Sometimes I find a rare exception and The Elite Trials is EXACTLY that.

Adaptive is the second book in TET trilogy and yet again Moynihan showcases her skills not only with emotional narrative but also with her can't-stop-reading, action-filled pacing. Plus the romance; she definitely knows how to bring the heat. ;)

Now, fairly, I do think there was a bit of jumping in the later part of the book that wasn't for me. BUT the pacing continued well and the plot twists are absolute aces, so my hangups never lasted long. :D
___________

tl;dr: Adaptive does an excellent job showcasing the fast paced, romance-laden style that is becoming a trademark of the author. :D

*Read on KU, also own a copy*

Ah! *squeals!* I don't even get giddy often, but this book...this series...is just that good! I loved the first one, and hoped for more of the same quality, not only does this book deliver, but Becky Moynihan has gone above-and-beyond with this one, and ramps up all the times I loved about the first. Action! Romance! Character growth! Intrigue! Mystery! Plus so much more, and I'm just wishing I had the next book in hand, because after that ending, I need answers! Though, with how much I love this series, I've no doubt the wait will be well rewarded! Reposted as I just bought the Kindle version to add to my collection 😉

Probably the best out of the 3

This book is incredible and probably the best out of the trilogy... which pretty much never happens. The plot is always moving forward, but in a calculated way. You can tell the author meticulously planned this novel and wasn't just writing in surprises just for shock value. Everything serves a purpose and it's extremely well done. Highly, highly recommend.

Action packed, gut wrenching, moments of momentum, enthralling intimacy

This book series is off the chain... I again finished this book, book 2 in one day. It’s Action packed, gut wrenching, moments of momentum that’ll leave your heart pounding and yearning for more...more of Bren and Lunes intimacy; longing for their mission to be complete and then them finally finding peace and calm as they embark on a new and happy life together. I can’t wait to finish book 3!
