It’s hard to argue with wisdom like, “Honestly, not enough people know how to use good manners as a weapon.” That whole “life and death situation” thing really makes for some steamy makeout sessions!Īs I noted above, this book isn’t as sharp and funny as the first, but it still has some eminently quotable lines and perfectly southern situations. The romance in this installment isn’t as tension-filled as the first, because Harper has locked David down like the class presidency, but it’s still pretty hot. I’ll cut her some slack because this is the second book, though, and she’s got a whole new host of problems to deal with. Half of what made her so likeable in the first book was that she was all about manners and propriety while also killing someone with a shoe. In this installment, Harper’s still competent and capable, but her sense of humor and southern belle charm is a little less present. I love Harper, but I’ve got to say, I loved her more in Rebel Belle. Meanwhile, David’s visions are getting increasingly horrific.Īnd she’s still got high school to contend with… That is, until Harper and David find out that the Ephors want to recruit him-and in order to continue as David’s protector, Harper must pass a series of tests that will either kill her or make her more powerful than ever. Bee has returned after her mysterious disappearance, and the Ephors are silent…so the only drama in Harper’s life is the boy drama surrounding her and her friends. Things have calmed down in Harper’s world, but now she’s waiting for the other shoe to drop. WARNING! This is the second book in the Rebel Belle series, and therefore will have spoilers for the first. I love the trophy with the sword-so cute! So subversive! This is another cover where it certainly won’t be mistaken for an adult book, and it is extremely girly (like Harper herself) but it’s truth in advertising. I’m stealing Savannah’s delightful pun for this, because it’s too perfect. BOOK REPORT for Miss Mayhem (Rebel Belle #2) by Rachel Hawkins
