Defiance Falls War

De: Ali Dean

Narrado por: Sarah Puckett, Gregory Salinas

We pulled the trigger and braced ourselves for the fallout. We were ready for anything. Or so we thought.

War revealed our greatest weaknesses, the ones inside of us that we kept hidden. It forced us to face our vulnerabilities, to overcome the battles within that threatened to hold us prisoner.

Enemies came in all forms, but so did strength. As a united front, we were unstoppable. Our power came from each other, and our greatest weapon was about to be unleashed.

Not enough stars in the universe

Defiance Falls War (Defiance Falls #3)
Book 3 of Defiance Falls
Ali Dean

Not enough stars! This series is one of the best series I have read in a while and I read A LOT. I loved the characters, all of the boys and Hazel. The way Cruz loves her is so heart warming. This is such a great book with a well written and developed story.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Wow what a series

Oh my goodness so I read books one and two of this series but never read book 3. It wasn’t available yet and got lost on the tbr. So seeing the audiobook I figured why not? We’ll let’s just say I found a lot of time to listen to this book. It was a “page turner” I loved hearing the conclusion of the war with the Malones. Also I loved that we got some Hazel and Cruz bumps in their relationship and them figuring stuff out.

Narration was wonderful and entertaining with the duel narrators!

Excited to Listen to the Conclusion...

I was so excited to read the conclusion to the Defiance Falls series after all of the drama and action and manipulation throughout the series, but unfortunately it lacked some of the umpf found in the previous two books. There was still a lot happening in the book and it wrapped up in a pretty package with a HEA but I felt it lacked some of the excitement I felt in the previous book. I continued to like Cruz, and overall I liked Hazel, and Hazel's cousins were always good for a laugh throughout the book. I don't always expect my books to be 100 percent realistic because I read to escape reality so if they veer off a little that doesn't always bother me, however, I don't feel like this type of a story line is representative of a typical high school experience or high school aged kids, but again this didn't necessarily bother me as I read for fun. I did find the story to be overall enjoyable.

Sarah Puckett did a phenomenal job as Hazel. She is one of my top narrators to listen to. I enjoyed the dual POV narration added in book two and three with Gregory Salinas as Cruz. He also did a really good job and made the book highly enjoyable to listen to. I would definitely like to listen to more of their work. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer

Loved it!

This was a great third book. I just adore Cruz and his crew. Hazel is an amazing character that is both soft and fierce. The narrators do a great job with the story. I look forward to more stories from Ali Dean.

Great Conclusion!

This is the third book in the Defiance Falls Trilogy. Hazel and Cruz's story continues where the second book left off. This is a great conclusion to the series, filled with action, and twists and turns. The world building is complex, and intriguing. Sarah Puckett and Gregory Salinas did a great job with the narration. #AudiobookObsession

4.5/5

Defiance Falls War is the final book in the Defiance Falls trilogy. Action-packed and suspenseful Defiance Falls War is a great mix of waiting to build tension and see what will happen next, humor, and epic battles. There were several twists that I didn't see coming. Ali Dean is a great author. I love her mix of strong, competent female characters, athletes, friendship, and suspense.

I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsession. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Great ending to an amazing series

In the last book in this trilogy, Hazel, Cruz and the boys are in an all out war against the Malones to save the town! Cruz's house was burnt and his father is getting worse which takes it toll in him and threatens his relationship with Hazel. Hazel has her own issues as she becomes a target for the Malones. Through it all Hazel & Cruz stand strong and fight for their love. There is lots of action in this book and it does end with a HEA. I love the duel narration and Sarah and Gregory do an amazing job. I can't thank Ali enough for creating these charaters and letting me into their world. #Hazel&Cruz4ever. #AudioObsessionReviewer

Great story!💜

In spite of my major book faux pas, (I read book 3 first), I really enjoyed this story.
I feel that even without reading the first two books, I had a good understanding of what led them to the events in this book. Great storyline and I loved the characters.
The narration was absolutely perfect!! Well done!
I recommend this book!

loved this series

The investigation regarding the Malones is ongoing. Cruz is crumbling on the inside, but still keeps his confident persona. One thing through this ordeal, Cruz, Hazel and the guys all are loyal to their mission and each other. It's a game of chess, revenge, trying to take charge of life, plotting and fighting. Ali Dean has another stellar sports romance.
Sarah Puckett and Gregory Salinas are phenomenal. They both bring depth to each character. They live the story. I can feel each moment of anguish, anger, torment, fear, throughout the story. Thank you for bringing this story to life.

fighting back

The war is going to start and it can go two ways. With Malones winning it and making it all more difficult or with Hazel, Cruz and their friends and family finally getting revenge and the life they deserve. A great end to the story. Great audiobook. The narrators do a really good job.
