Holy crap. Six months later and our main character turns into some total bad ass. This book was flippin amazing, every character was so important, and every bread crumb the readers got throughout the story led to this finale. I cannot wait for the next book (literally I'm ordering it right after I finish this) with that mind blowing ending and cliffhanger, and the damn synopsis for In The After Light I just can't even.
This book follows Ruby in her investigation into the League (which she is now a part of) as she knows Rob one of the leaders has done many questionably things. And after a rescue mission nearly kills Ruby in her attempts to free prisoner 27 (who happens to be Liams brother Cole) Ruby questions who is to blame for the explosion that nearly killed her and Vida. And after another mission takes the life of a young Green who should never had been on the mission in the first place Ruby and her team find a video from the Greens chatter that shows Rob and another leader shooting the kid. 

The escape plan is put into action, along with the intentions of finding Liam to retrieve a memory card in the jacket he took from Cole, on the drive is evidence to help Ruby's plan to free the camps. As she keeps telling herself that the whole Ops end game is to free the camps, she can't fight that he motives are also personal.

A lot happens, and if you want to know you need to read the book, but some characters return, others, both good and bad die, and to answer the one big question, YES, they find both Chubs and Liam, and double YES Liam gets his memory back.

I know I only gave the first book 4 stars but tbh it was all the build up that took away from the awesomeness of this story. So this second book, without all the frufru to introduce you to the whole concept gets a perfect 5+ stars. now excuse me I have to go order the next book.

Thanks for reading!
