Ok, I'm hooked good now. Need to know what happens next.

*Source* Netgalley*Genre* Science Fiction/Dystopia*Rating* 3.5*My Thoughts*“Sometimes the smartest decision is the last one you want to make.” The Final Trade, by author Joe Hart, is the second installment in the authors The Dominion Trilogy. The story takes place (6) months after the events of The Last Girl. As a summary, this series takes place in a not too distant future. A future that saw a pandemic called "The Dearth" spread world wide. It is now a world where only boy baby's are born, whil...

4 Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟Zoey is not the girl she once was. She’s watched too many of her friends die at the hands of their captors, been hunted, and returned from the brink of death. Now she is on a journey to find the truth about who she is.In search of the family she never knew, Zoey learns of personal records in another facility. Zoey and her new friends travel to the missile facility, but among the records, they uncover information that leads to a new foe: the Fae Trade, a carnival of slavery and pain

The best indication I can give of Book 1 in this series, is that I've bought Book 2 to keep going with Zoey's story.Altho both are 3.5 star reads, this is writing with great pace and the books are a whole lot of good entertainment and fun, if getting a tad gory.This time Zoey isn't on the run so much as 'on the attack'. She's got the Fae Trade in her sights and they should be scared, really scared.Zoey is also finding herself in a big black spot, and losing her empathy, 'humanity' in many respec...

Book two in a dystopian trilogy where females are few. This book follows on directly from book one and like the first book I feel disconnected from the characters.  The series is action packed enough that character depth isn't a huge issue however the author has gone to great lengths to provide the readers with a really diverse cast so it feels a shame that all the characters feel so flat. This one ends on a cliff hanger so I will read the last book. I'm a bit meh either way but I've come this f...

An excellent sequel, fast-paced and dark. I love this series.

INITIAL THOUGHTSWow, is the quote at the beginning is a hint of what is to come, then this one is set to be an action packed, great seeing book! Looking forward to catching up with Zoey.

I fairly enjoyed this book and would 100% say it was better than the first. It actually wasn't very predictable, which I loved, and there were many plot twists around every corner. There were still some parts of the book in which I felt it was just dragging along. But most of it I really liked and I would definitely recommend this series to anybody else looking to read something different and thrilling.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.The Final Trade is the second installment in The Dominion Trilogy. Readers should read the first installment (The Last Girl) before picking up this one. This book picks up where the first one left off. It continues to follow Zoey as she tries to uncover who she is and get questions answered while she's running from the enemy. New characters are introduced and the world building continues. I reall...

Finished reading: August 28th 2016 “You can't keep bearing all the weight. In the end, if you try to save everyone you'll only lose yourself.” *** A copy of this book was kindly provided to me by Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! *** (view spoiler)[I have to admit I had my doubts about this series after finishing the first book, The Last Girl, mainly because it didn't really seem to stand out from all the other YA dystopian series out there. Bu

Please read all of my reviews at http://ultraviolentlit.blogspot.ca!This is the second novel of the Dominion Trilogy, in which Zoe has escaped the top secret facility that had been holding her captive, and she is doing her best to survive in the outside world. Although she is settling in with her new makeshift family, she is determined to seek out her roots and find her birth parents. Along the way, Zoe and her friends face the darkest corners of humanity, and we learn more about the world follo...

I can't stress this enough, Zoey was a kick ass character. I became more attached to her in this book than the previous one. I loved how her story arc continued to become more complex as she learns to live outside the confines of the arc from The Last Girl. Joe Hart had me screaming for more as I finished the last chapter. How could you leave us hanging like that, Joe! Yes, yes, I know, a good cliffhanger is required to keep me wanting more, but seriously, I wanted to close this book and open th...

This book was such a pleasant surprise. After The Last Girl's slow (and rather unoriginal) start, The Final Trade delved into the deepest recesses of the human race. My favorite books are about isolation and the monsters within - and this book had so much of both. Between the depravity of the Fae Trade to the desperate lengths main character Zoey must go to in order to feel safe, to enact justice, to get bloody, violent revenge... This book is violent and raw and emotional. It deals with obsessi...

Can't wait for them to make a movie of this!For those of you who hated the Handmaiden's Tale but loved the premise this is the series for you. Love love love these books!

I reviewed my own personal Kindle Unlimited copy of this book through Wicked Reads. Another great read for me! I was hooked in book one and was not let down by book two! Zoey's story continues with new characters, more action, and new twists. Being in the "real world" has changed and hardened Zoey. She has been through a lot and lost more than she ever thought possible. While she has dealt with all of this, she has channeled all of her pain into determination, and she has become stronger in bot...
