The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
This week was a roller coaster. Monday we had the day off work because of Memorial Day. We needed that day to rest from the weekend before. Wednesday started Armchair BEA. I didn't fully decide to participate in that until the weekend before so I didn't really have posts scheduled and formatted like I normally would have. Thursday afternoon, my aunt and uncle were involved in a car accident with an 18 wheeler. He died from chest injuries due to the accident, and she is in the hospital with broken bones up and down her entire left side of her body as well as a broken right leg. We didn't find out until about midnight Thursday night. Friday after work my sister and I traveled to Mobile to be with my grandparents and my mom. We got back home around 8:30 Saturday night. He makes the 5th child (out of 9) that my grandparents have lost. Please keep them in your prayers.

But this summer, everything is different...This summer she’s a counselor at Cumberland Creek summer camp, and she wants to put the past behind her. This summer Matt is back as a counselor too. He’s the first guy she ever kissed, and he’s gone from a geeky songwriter who loved The Hardy Boys to a buff lifeguard who loves to flirt - with her.

Goodreads description--Baalboden has been ravaged. The brutal Commander's whereabouts are unknown. And Rachel, grief stricken over her father's death, needs Logan more than ever. With their ragged group of survivors struggling to forge a future, it's up to Logan to become the leader they need—with Rachel by his side. Under constant threat from rival Carrington's army, who is after the device that controls the Cursed One, the group decides to abandon the ruins of their home and take their chances in the Wasteland.But soon their problems intensify tenfold: someone—possibly inside their ranks—is sabotaging the survivors, picking them off one by one. The chaos and uncertainty of each day puts unbearable strain on Rachel and Logan, and it isn't long before they feel their love splintering. Even worse, as it becomes clear that the Commander will stop at nothing to destroy them, the band of survivors begins to question whether the price of freedom may be too great—and whether, hunted by their enemies and the murderous traitor in their midst, they can make it out of the Wasteland alive.
In this daring sequel to Defiance, with the world they once loved forever destroyed, Rachel and Logan must decide between a life on the run and standing their ground to fight.
