    About this audiobook

    This-a sequel to Gated-is a nerve-fraying contemporary young adult thriller that will make readers question loyalties as it twists truths.

    Her life was based on a lie.
    Lyla Hamilton almost died escaping the Community. In her new life, the outsiders call the Community a cult. They don't understand how easy it was to believe. How good it felt to belong. "Normal" life-high school and dating-is harder than Lyla expected.

    Who should she love? Who should she hate?
    The Community is willing to do terrible things to bring her back to the fold. The members are still preaching Pioneer's twisted message that the end of the world is near. Pulled in two directions and unsure which way to turn, Lyla risks everything to follow her heart, but can she uncover the Community's plan before it's too late?

    Lyla's escape was only the beginning.

      After Lyla Hamilton left the Community, all she wanted was a normal life. But that's difficult when she has to attend a school where most of the kids don't want her there, she has to come face-to-face with her former cult friends at every turn, and she's being protested by townspeople. Plus she has to continue to visit her parents, who are still firmly attached to the Community, even though she isn't sure if she wants to do that. And then Pioneer will still not let Lyla go.I was really hoping for more from this sequel, but it just didn't do much of anything for me. The writing style is better, I must say, but the book still plods along at an incredibly slow pace, so much so that it took me about five months to read a 350 page book. Normally I can buzz through one of those in a few hours. I wanted to like Lyla, I truly did, but I just couldn't connect with her character at all. The same goes for Cody, who is more developed here, but still feels like a foil for Lyla and not a "real" person at all.The one thing I can say is that the author doesn't shy away from killing off characters! Both the social worker and the kind teacher bite the dust by the end. I always get a little pissed off when characters enter into crazy dangerous situations and yet no one the reader "knows" dies in the end, so A+ on that!Meh, I'd have to give this duology a pass.
