Rebel Bound

De: Shauna E. Black

Narrado por: Courtney Parker

Caelin is a survivor. It's been 11 years since a nuclear disaster drove much of the population underground. Caelin and her young sister Mardy were left topside, and Caelin uses salvage to trade for shelter until she gets stabbed, and a handsome stranger named Jate must save her life.

Jate brings the sisters to rebel turf where plans are being hatched to conquer the Undercity. The rebels preach good life for the masses, and both Caelin and Mardy are hooked on the dream. But as Caelin is drawn deeper into the rebel's inner circle, passion ignites between Caelin and Jate, and he suddenly seems determined to push her away.

Then she discovers the harsh price of loyalty. The rebel's dream becomes a nightmare that puts her sister on a dangerous mission to the Undercity. Caelin must determine who to trust before Mardy and the population of the Undercity are wiped out.

Rebel Bound

I LOVED this post apocolyptic book!A girl,who hs cared for her sister alone for many years,questions why a group would help them for 'free'.She finds out in the end.I hope there is a sequel!Courtney Parker was a good narrator.I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

What a world

Dystopian books is such an interesting genre because authors have a lot of option about how they can create their world. Yet at the same time most books have lots of similarities and reading a lot in this genre can start to feel repetitive. But this book is anything but... it comes across as new and interesting.

The character are fantastic, very well crafted from the good, to the self-serving, to the bad all of them are vivid and feel like they could walk off the page. Caelin makes a great lead character, she's complex and yet is motivated only by looking after her sister.

I don't want to give away the plot but I will say that over the book as new information comes to light it causes you to see actions and motivations in new lights and this makes for a very exciting story.

Great character voices for both genders and the delivery is smooth and lows well.

I loved it! Highly recommended.

My Students LOVED it!

As a teacher, I used this book as a 4th quarter novel study. My students loved the plot, and were glued the entire book. So many different aspects of this book that give students a chance to connect...action, suspense, danger, love, drama and the importance of family. There are a lot of opportunities to dig into complex discussions with students, or keep it simple. The plot is easy to follow, yet has enough twists to keep students wanting more. I would recommend it to anyone. Can't wait to read the Rebel Betrayed!

interesting

I am looking forward to listening to more from this author! Original story and characters with a variety of personalities in a dystopian future. Enough twists to keep you interested wothout getting confused.

GREAT PA YA GOOD-AY STORY! LOVED IT :)

This is an awesome story! There are so many labels these days - dystopian, young adult, post-apocalyptic, etc etc etc. So, I guess story fits it all :) I think it's geared a bit more toward young adults, but I'm 50 (oops did I say that?) and I loved it! I felt right there with Caelin as she struggles through a new world, trying to keep her and her sister safe. I loved the writing and the narration, I think all in all it's an awesome story and I'd definitely recommend it.

Another Post-Apocalyptic story

This story wasn't too bad. It was kinda wrote in the Twilight style, for youngsters.

Narration kept me listening. Courtney is a pretty good story teller. She has some post production audio techniques to master, such as de-essing, but that did not stop me from enjoying this story.

Good job ladies.

Enjoyable post apocalyptic read.

It's been a few weeks since I've read a good post apoc book that a) held my attention and b) that was fresh and unique, and thankfully Rebel Bound was both!

The characters were all well written and I pretty much liked them all. Caelin is responsible for looking after her younger sister, Mardy, since both their parents are dead, and so far she's doing a good job. In order for her to find shelter for them both during the day, Caelin has to scavenge as much as she can, the better the find, the longer she can stay. But pickings are getting slim and Caelin is struggling to find decent items. I really liked Caelin, she wanted to do what was best for her sister and I admired her tenacity and her bravery. I also liked that she took a while to trust others and trust the situation she was thrown into. It made her feel more real.

The plot was a little slow to fully get going, but once it did, it was awesome. I liked the premise and the author did a great job in explaining it and bringing the world to life. The romance was slow to build, which I also liked and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here!!

In all, this was a good introduction to the world and the author and I can't wait to see what happens in the next book.

Courtney Parker was easy to listen to and had a clear voice. She had a few different tones and voices for the characters but some of them sounded too similar and I was a little confused at times as to which female character was talking!

Perfect for the YA in your life

As a fan of YA, I've come to realize that some YA books are meant for adults and teens while others are for just teens. This one falls into the later category. I don't want that to sound as a knock on the book because it is an enjoyable story which I could see my younger cousins loving. If you're looking for a gift for a teenage bookworm, then you're on the right page.
