Requiem by Lauren Oliver

Lena has joined the Resistance. The Wilds are no longer safe as the Regulators look for the Invalids. Lena navigates the Wilds and struggles to survive, while her best friend Hana lives a safe, loveless life in Portland where she will soon marry the young Mayor. The discoveries made by both Lena and Hana will ultimately lead to their reunion and the beginning of a revolution.

Such a FABULOUS ending to this trilogy! This book is told from the perspective of both Lena and Hana, and it works perfectly. I'm hoping for some movies!

Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver

Lena finds herself in the Wilds, struggling to live among the Invalids. Her love for Alex haunts her, but she finds new purpose when she is thrust back into the world of Cureds, or what she now refers to as "zombies." As she's tailing a well-known leader's son, trying to gather information, she sees him kidnapped and is also taken. As she spends time locked up with him, she reflects on her struggles in the Wilds as she gets to know more about him.

It took me a little while to get into this book as well. The story is told with chapters alternating between the present and the past, entwining her current situation with the hardships she faced in the Wilds. Getting used to this format took some time, but the storyline again did not disappoint. As for cliffhanger endings, this one rivals the best!

Delirium by Lauren Oliver

Lena can't wait for her Procedure. She is terrified of contracting deliria nervosa, what we know as love,  and will be immune once she has her Procedure. She's only got a few months to go when she meets Alex. Alex has the marks of the Procedure, so Lena isn't worried about the deliria with him. After all, he is Cured. But as Lena spends more time with him, she realizes that he knows a little too much about the Wilds that lay outside of the fence, talks about the Invalids without fear, and that she's in too deep with him to care.

Honestly, this story started a little slow for me. It had the feeling that it was giving a lot of background information, but I was anxious for it to really get started. Once it did, though, there was no putting it down! And the ending? Make sure you have Kleenex handy...
