{Book Review} FLEDGE, Book 2 of the Junco series, by JA Huss

Book Title: Fledge, I am Just Junco, Book 2
Author: JA Huss
Publisher: indie
Publishing Date: October 1, 2012
Length: 338 pages
Source: Purchased

When given the choice to kill or die,
It’s a no-fucking-brainer.
When given the choice to obey or not,
Things get gray.
But given the choice,
To kill or save the one who saved you?
Now you’ve got my attention.
And killers don’t work well
With a conscious around to fuck things up.
So, you know…
Hope for the best, but expect the worst.
Because I’m still fucking Junco.
And I’m still at war with everyone.

Well-trained soldier or genetically engineered monster?

Junco Coot can’t even remember her trip off Earth; she was too busy being morphed into her new avian body. But reality hits her hard when she wakes up to find her new life is not what she expected. Not even close.

Tier is on trial for treason, the avian president wants her dead, her new military team is hostile, her body is being taken over by an illicit AI, and her only friend is a ten-year old throwaway boy.

In most places the avian Fledge ritual would be nothing more than mass murder, but here in the capital city of Amelia, it’s called growing up. Junco has two choices: fight to the death to prove her worth, or get sent back to Earth in the hands of her enemies.

In a foreign culture and surrounded by people she can’t trust or count on, Junco must find a way to save herself and Tier without losing her immortal soul in the process

Jaysus Effing Heck. Yeah, this is nice because I need to post this review on amazon and they frown on the words that flew out of my mouth while reading this installment in the Just Junco series. Strings of profanities that Junco herself would admire just were in a constant stream at the turmoil, the action, the everything.

This story is COMPLICATED. It gets more complicated as you learn more and more. There are so many lies and half-told truths, buried secrets, emotional badgering, and things that Junco learns about herself that you will be reeling as much as Junco is as she enters the General Fledge. It's kill or be killed in this culling tournament that decides who gets to be an Aves warrior and who does not. Junco, fresh from her morph and with no training behind her new wings, gets to testify at Tier's trial, be thrown into the General Fledge, and learn on the go.

It's a darn good thing this girl knows how to adapt.

That's what she excels at. She's not only a trained assassin and warrior, but she has the skills to adapt in every situation, shut down what she needs to shut down, and move forward. The action is incredibly well described that you nearly feel that you ARE Junco, flipping, grappling, and slicing necks wide open. You can feel her stomping down on her emotions, her glee in learning to fly, her sorrow, and her going into soldier mode. It's exactly what I hope for when I'm reading: a book that whisks me away into an alternate reality, where I'm shutting out my own world, and am lost in the one unfolding before my eyes.

Gritty? Dark? Jaysus. No. It's not just gritty and dark. It's visceral. It's breathtaking. Kindle-bruising. And addictive. I'm eager to read book 3 and hope you join me on this journey if you haven't already. Feel free to comment here or hit me up on goodreads if you need to discuss. I love Junco, I am beginning to love the 039, I'm frustrated with the 039, I'm frustrated with Junco, and the ending to this book? HOLY CRAP, JA HUSS. What are you doing to us?!

Book Blurb:
My life, inside this apartment is simple. It works, as long as I follow the rules.

1. Don't leave the apartment. Not in case of fire, not to mail a letter, not to run an errand. The door stays shut, and I stay inside.
2. Don't get attached to clients. I take off my clothes, I stand in front of the camera, and I perform. What they want, I give. Their secrets, I keep. Everything I tell them, is a lie.
3. Don't kill anyone. I've obeyed that rule for over three years.

My life, inside this apartment was simple, and it worked. Then, I started breaking rules.
GOODREADS | AMAZON

 Based on the chatter on the web and Facebook and book forums, I thought this book would be a  quick read, one of those ones that are all hot sweaty sex with a touch of romance and I was okay with that. I wanted something to distract from the disappointing reads I had lately and erotica sounded good. 

I should've read the blurb more carefully, but even then I don't think I would've been prepared for this book. This book took me by surprise. You probably need some background to understand my surprise. I was approved for a book in this author's trilogy (writing as Alessandra Torre for that series) from Netgalley. I borrowed the other two books preceding the third to prepare and found myself not liking book one at all. I put it down as a DNF. Call it mindset at the time, call it bi*c*iness, call it whatever, but I just wasn't into that first book and was dismayed at the thought of reading all three to get to book three. Then, I picked up The Girl in 6E. 

If you're looking for swoony romance or erotic romance with hearts and butterflies (and maybe even a touch of kinky f**ckery), this book is not for you. If you like romantic suspense, talks about fetishes, something a little dark, a little edgy, then you need to read this book. 

I don't want to give away too much so bear with me. Deanna Madden lost her innocence at 17. Oh, she's still a virgin; I'm not talking about her sexual innocence. I'm talking about her childhood. Her world came crashing down around her. She now poses as Jessica Reilly, with full identification and everything, earning her living without ever leaving her house. She's an internet video camera star; she has cybersex with strangers for $6.99/minute. Like the movie The Net, she never leaves her house, no one ever sees her, she simply orders everything to do with her life off the web. Psychiatry sessions? Skype. Food? Jenny Craig or the like. Books, movies, sex toys, clothing? Hello, Amazon Prime. 

She meets some interesting characters in her career. She has to block some from time to time. And then this guy shows up and she is sure that his fantasies will be realities if she doesn't figure out who he is and put a stop to him. 

I was surprised at the amount of sympathy I had for this woman who keeps daydreaming about killing people. I mean, who hasn't daydreamed about killing someone, right? But her daydreams are much more violent and vivid than is normal. You know she must be lonely, you know she's fighting depression and other issues, you know she's hiding behind her persona. She is sympathy inducing.

What is different about this thriller is that you know who the predator from the beginning. Creepster being creepy is from the start. What you don't know is how Deanna/Jessica is going to handle it. 

And then there's Jeremy, the UPS man. Intrigued by this woman who only says four words to him when he delivers packages to her door, Jeremy is someone I want to learn more about. I hope there is a sequel! 

And now...I'm off to read that trilogy I abandoned. I'm beginning to think I didn't give it enough of a chance. ;)
