In “Rebel Belle”, the first novel
in this YA paranormal series, Harper Price became a Paladin, charged
with protecting the Oracle, a classmate named David who has visions
of the future. As their adventures continue in their small Southern
town of Pine Grove, Harper and David find themselves trying to
reconcile their magical responsibilities with their everyday lives.
The Ephors are still hunting David, this time trying to use him
rather than kill him.
As his powers increase, David feels
overwhelmed and a little lost in them. Meanwhile, Harper sees more
aspects of her former life slipping away in her focus to keep David
safe. The Ephors have challenged Harper to a series of terrifying
trials that will either strengthen her skills as a Paladin, or kill
her. Oh yes, and there's the Miss Pine Grove pageant for Harper to
worry about, too.
The book is a fun, light read, with
the exception of a couple of scary visions being described. The pace
moves along smoothly and quickly, and the cliffhanger ending will
have you eager to pick up the third book in the series, “Lady
Renegades”. While I enjoyed the first book better than the second
one, it was still a good sequel and I am interested to see what
happens next for David, Harper, and their friends.
