This is book 2 in the Citizens of Logan Pond Series. This series explores life in America under a corrupt government after the economy has crashed and freedoms are stolen by corrupt leaders. In Life, you meet all the illegal citizens of Logan Pond who survive by living close to May and CJ (who have yellow cards and are tax paying citizens). When government sweeps occur, all 34 of them crowd into CJ’s house to avoid detection. A police officer, Oliver Simmons, helps them too since he’s in love with 23 year old Carrie, an illegal living in the community. He warns them of upcoming raids and helps them acquire food and other necessary items. In Liberty, Greg, the man Carrie truly loves, is drafted into the government forces. As he struggles to survive ‘boot camp’ as a branded rebel, life doesn’t get easier for those left behind in Logan Pond.
I don’t want to blow any secrets, but just let me say this book is truly intense. The scariest part for me is that I can relate to this scenario because the author made the situation seem so realistic that I tense at any noise at night and worry whether I’m going to get enough food for my family or pray that Greg makes it back alive from the government camp. I also thanked God for my freedoms and liberty after reading this story. Some horrific situations are brought out as the characters keep struggling to survive the tyranny of corrupt leaders who have taken away all liberty. This story makes you want to stand up and fight for the freedoms we already have and not let any corrupt, uninspired leader whittle away our basic rights to exercise religion, to pursue happiness, and believe as our conscience dictates.
This book ends quite abruptly, setting up book 3, The Pursuit, which will conclude the series. The cliff hanger isn’t completely bad, because the main problem is solved, but a new one arises right at the end that left me feeling a bit breathless and wheezy with fear for the characters. I usually hate cliffhangers, but will forgive the author for this one, because the story line is complex and it’s a great lead into the next book with its title 'Pursuit'. This series is amazing—the action is fast and furious; the characters grow a lot and I really care for them; and the writing is clean with no errors that I found. I definitely recommend this book. It’s the type of book that leaves you thinking long after you finish…and I love that!
