Review:
Red Dawn is the second book in the
Crossroads Academy series by J.J. Bonds. The story revolved around
Katia, who is determined to save her friend from dying of a blood
disease. Her friend Shaye had become like a sister to her, and she is
willing to put herself in danger to get the info she needs.
This is a fast paced, action packed
book. I don't want to give away the plot line, but it's complex.
Katia and Nic escape from Crossroads to follow a lead on the missing
cure. Not only are they in danger of getting expelled, they end up
getting themselves in several dangerous situations.
I liked that Nic and Katia had more
alone time together in this book. They were constantly following
leads and placing themselves in danger though, so there wasn't a
whole lot of romance. I liked seeing them act more like a couple
though. Katia is unsure how deep Nic's feeling go, and how serious
their relationship is. She's falling hard though. There are some
steamy make-out sessions, but nothing that parents wouldn't be ok
with their teenage daughters reading.
I liked Katia better in this book.
Because of all the revelations at the end of the last book, it lets
the reader feel like they know Katia now. She definitely doesn't
hesitate to take control of a situation. When she has her mind set on
something, there is no stopping her. She's a bit snarky and stubborn,
but that's just who she is. If you like a lot of twist and turns,
along with adventure, then I suggest you give this book a try!
