Rebel Heart by Clara Winter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Rebel Heart: Book Two of the Immortal Kindred Series by Clara Winter, 4 stars.
*This review may contain spoilers from book one of the series.*

We met Annie in book one, but she was just a secondary character. This book shows you her story, how she became who she is today. She was a Rebel spy, working to help bring the English to their knees. She does all she can, but she always wishes she could do more. She wants to be stronger, like the men she works with. Then she gets captured by the Hessians. She is no fool, she knows her life is soon over — and it will not be an easy death from what she has heard of these evil men. But then the unexpected happens. A man with the most captivating eyes comes into where she is being held and helps her escape. She has no idea why, but she is drawn to him. He seems different, almost more than human. But this was only a chance meeting, surely she will never see him again. She can’t stop thinking about him, though. Then she meets and quickly befriends a woman who seems to have the same certain qualities as her soldier. When she learns what they really are, she wants to be like them. It will give her the advantage as a spy. But what will become of her after the war? What about the man she can’t stop thinking about? Little does she know just how much the future holds for her.

Most of this book is set in the past and therefore does not really connect directly with book one. However, there are some events that happen that will make much more sense if you read book one first. That being said, I loved this book. I took an immediate liking to Annie and was so happy when I found out this book was about her. She has such passion and drive. She does not give up, doing what needs to be done. She was way ahead of her time, yet adapts easily to the time she is in. Thayer is also an interesting character. You really do understand why he is the way he is in the beginning of the book. Plus you see Annie melting his heart, and she doesn’t even realising how much she is changing him. Yes, this is a love story. But there is so much action going on with the war, then subsequent things happening later on in the book. Oh, you didn’t think I’d give it away, did you? I can tell you that there were surprises I never saw coming. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.

I highly recommend both of the books in the series. You will not be disappointed.
