Denazen #3
Tremble
Dez Cross has problems. She’s almost eighteen and on the verge of losing her mind thanks to the drug Denazen used to enhance her abilities. People close to her have turned their back on the underground and are now fighting for the wrong side. And then there’s Kale... Things couldn’t get any worse.
Until of course, they do. Denazen is about to start a new trial—this one called Domination—and it works. But that means out with the old and in with the new. The order has been given to terminate all remnants of the second trial—including Dez. The good news is that there’s a survivor from the original trial. A woman who’s blood may hold the cure for the second generation of Supremacy kid’s defect. But the underground Sixes aren’t the only ones who know about her….
Cross is willing to throw everything he has to keep Dez from getting the cure—including the one thing that might tear her apart from the inside out.

This was awful. I used to love the series but now I HATE it with a burning passion. Why? Because of the so called hero, Kale. The wanker. He was a fucking bastard. Once upon a time he was one of my favourite YA heroes but now he's one of my most despised.
Kale was a cheating MOTHERFUCKER that got away with all his cheating and douchery. Oh and he was also violent towards Dez (the heroine) on a few different occasions. Was I meant to find that sweet or romantic? I didn't. I can't believe I recommended this series to anyone. Never again.
Dez already had to deal with Kale's cheating and wandering eye in the second book… And guess what? She had to do it again in this one, only it was much much worse this time. Since he fell for Dez's sister (Kiernan), dated her, and then cheated on Dez by having hot, passionate, angry sex with Kiernan. Ugh.
Sure, we find out at the end that Kiernan wasn't Dez's bio-sister but that didn't mean they weren't still sisters since they both considered the same guy their dad.
So, that's more than TWICE that Kale has cheated on Dez in the very short time they've been together. I'm sure he'll be cheating loads more in the future — he has form. Don't worry though, Dez will be upset for all of a minute and then she'll be all over him, begging for scraps.
Even when Kale found out the truth about Kiernan being a liar and a manipulator, he was still into her. It was obvious Kale had strong feelings for Kiernan and that he lusted after her. So much for his 'epic' love for Dez. It's so cringey that he was with two sisters.
What happened to Dez? She used to be fun, flirty, confident and cool… But she just became another pathetic girl that lets her boyfriend cheat on her, and treat her like utter shit. She's no different from the usual YA heroine that forgives and forgets when her twu wuv threatens, strangles and tries to kill her… Oh and then passionately fucks another girl. She's lost all her self-respect and dignity.
I'm sure that Kale will be acting like he loves Dez in future books but it'll be hard to believe since he's 1. Fucked around and cheated on Dez loads and 2. Tried to kill her a few dozen times.
Dez and Kales's romance used to be brilliant and rather unique for a paranormal YA - now it's just like every YA romance… With a douchey-cheating-bastard hero and a weak-doormat-heroine that forgives her twu wuv anything. Ugh.
I'm sure Kale will fuck around in the future, and threaten and manhandle Dez again… And doormat-and-ever-faithful Dez will just let him. She should have dumped him and found someone else that could actually respect and love her.
Kale/Dez were once great but now they've been ruined beyond repair… It doesn't matter how in wuv they act in book 4 and 5 - it won't change Kale hurting/cheating/betraying Dez. I'd rather Dez end up with Alex, Aubrey or ANYONE else.
The only thing I liked in Tremble was Dez finding out her dad wasn't her bio father — at least it was a bit clearer as to why he never cared about her. However, it was a little odd that Dez looked like him and Kiernan - if they weren't biologically related then they shouldn't have looked alike.
Yea, I'm done with the series, that cheating FUCKER, Kale has fucked the books up for me - I can't believe he loves Dez or ever loved her as much as claims. He's a lame, slimy, disappointing, semi-manslut fucker, and he's a sadistic killer/torturer to boot — he tortured Dez a few times, luckily for her she didn't always feel pain (but she did sometimes - I guess I was meant to find Kale torturing Dez sexy? Well, I didn't). Deep down Kale wanted to abuse Dez and make her suffer — he still carried on torturing her even when he remembered her and was starting to have feelings for her. The only reason Dez didn't suffer as much as Kale intended her to was because she just so happened to have lost her ability to feel pain. But what disturbed me most was that the intent was there in Kale to repeatedly torture Dez.
It's series like these that have made me reluctant to pick up any new YA this year… Last year I was buying any new YA releases I could get my hands on… But not anymore, all they do is let you down. I'm going to keep on waiting before getting any new YA series… Once a series is finished and I've read reviews/spoilers, then I'll consider buying it… But to be honest if I do that, I'll most likely be satisfied with reviews/spoilers, and I won't end up getting them. Oh well, I guess I'll cut down on YA and only read from trusted authors, or series that I'm already in the middle of/still want to continue reading.
Anyone who loves paranormal YA and doesn't mind a cheating hero will most likely love this. I just have zero tolerance for cheating heroes, especially when the heroine is a faithful-pathetic-doormat in return.

This series just keeps getting better and better as the books progress! This was the most action-packed book in the series so far. I was on the edge of my seat for 90% of it.

My heart broke for Dez with the ending of the last book. This book, however, started off with a bang. It was so good yet so heartwrenching! I liked how determined Dez was to get things back to how they were. I loved how she never gave up and fought for Kale despite the circumstances.
Kale just does not have much luck where this series is concerned. He's been dealt a bad hand in life with a sprinkling here and there of good. He'll never be the old Kale but maybe new Kale is going to be even better. My heart just breaks for the circumstances he's in.
I almost take back what I said about Alex. He was also dealt a terrible hand in this book and I kind of, sort of feel for him. It doesn't excuse what he's done and said in the past but now it's kind of a moot point.
The ending was mind-blowing considering I thought Ginger knew everything. Though I bet she knows but won't say because it'll affect things moving forward and she's learned her lesson due to someone in a past generation of hers. The revelation about Dez was also interesting and made total sense. Now I just need answers and for Kale and Dez and the rest of the sixes to have a chance at a better life.
My Favorite Quotes:
"He was sleeping beauty and I was the prince."
"Hope was a fragile and dangerous thing. It had the ability to build you up higher than the clouds - and then drop you."
"Whatever it was I did to steal your heart when we met, I'll do it again. I swear."

Final rating: 1/5 stars
DNF
I loved this series so much, i loved the first book, Touch, and when the second one came, Toxic, i really hated it.
Then I started reading this. And more and more I read, the more I got annoyed. And then, I went through the reviews of other people to see if I should i continue reading it or abandon all hope it gets better, and then I find out that Kale did something i HATE (as can be seen by Ferdy's review Thank you dear for saving my time ♥). This is also a reason why I gave up - i thought it was better to quit before i lose my patience and time pointlessly.
I am sorry Denazen series, i really loved you but we are not destined to be. And i am also sorry to everyone i recommended this. it's not worth it. Except if you like heroes. Especially if you loved him before that.
And dear Kiernan;

May 13, 2013OMG. May 7? That's the best Christmas present.
Just finished Toxic and I loved it, even if I wanted to kill Kale most of the time (I wish he would think before doing stupid things like kissing that bitch). If he cheats on Dez I'll hate him forever.
Dez rocks and Alex is such a bad ass knight in shining armor.
Can't wait to read Tremble. I really like Aubrey. Hope we see him again in Tremble and I hope nothing bad happens with Alex.

SPOILERS!!!
I was going to read this book.... Then, I found out that one of my favorite teenage heroes cheats on the heroine... With her sister! Who the f*** does that? Why would you make my precious Kale do this Jus Accardo? WHY? You made me want to throw things. The second book made me mad enough but this is the end. I don't think I can read any more books by this author, sorry! I hate it when my favorite people in a book cheat on their girlfriend/boyfriend or get cheated on. That is when I quit reading. I majorly started reading on Feb 17, 2012 (my 15th birthday) and I have found very few books/series that I will quit reading. This will be one of them. Saying I am disappointed would be an understatement. Goodbye forever Kale and Dez. R.I.P.

I didn't like where it ended.
Okay... So, first Jade then now- Keiran (Diebitchesdie)! I want to strangle all the girls whose around Kale cough whore. I hurt for Dez. I'm quite possessive when it comes to my favorite book boyfriend Kale.
Sometimes he's too innocent for his own good. In this book though, Kale was so different I cry for the old one. I want my old Kale back!
Overall, I love the action scenes, Deznee Cross still the badass chick I knew.
I found Kale and Deznee's moments lacking. No making out or make up sex after all that happened?! Seriously?!
I'm seriously needing book four. Like. Right. Now.
May 21, 2013
Kale is gone and still with Kiernan and Denazen. Dez will not give up on trying to get him back. She doesn't have much time though because the experiment done on her is starting to affect her mind and powers. Her 18th birthday is coming and then she will die and that is if Denazen doesn't destroy her first. Dez is also trying to find the other sixes in her experimental group and save them as well.
I was happy there was little Jade in this book but Kiernan replaced her as the character I most hate. I wanted to slap her the entire time I was reading! Kale is still sweet and adorable but confused. When he went back to Denazen they manipulated him. His powers grew and he doesn't remember Dez. I adore him but was sad to see him away from Dez. Not to fear they still have plenty of scenes together! I was so angry Kiernan would play along. She wanted to fit in and feel loved by her and Dez's dad but that man is so evil. Denazen was delved into deeper and I learned a lot more back story and that Dez's dad might not even be the most evil person behind it.
Dez and the gang can never catch a break. I kind of like that in this series though. So many books have everything work out perfect but Dez's plans never work out. Whenever they are trying to retrieve something, often times they don't get it. Sad but realistic which I enjoy. I'm kept on the edge of my seat the entire time. Of course my favorite thing about the series is Kale. I love him! The series is worth reading just for him and his love of Dez. So sweet. Like Dez has said herself, even though Kale was brought up in Denzen he came out still a very likeable person. He has a naive innocence that really draws you in and has you rooting for him. I can't wait for the next book in this series!
---
"I know that I would have died for this person. To keep her safe. To keep her happy-- and I know that it was you."
"I trust you," I repeated.
Leaning close, lips brushing my right ear, he whispered, "Then can I kiss you again?"
"Whatever it was I did to steal your heart when we met, I'll do it again. I swear."
I didn't bother correcting him. He never lost it.
"I don't remember what we had--yet--but I know now in my heart, in my soul, that I am your Kale."

Yet another great book in the Denazen series! So many answers, so many more questions. This book made me nervous, made me laugh, and there was plenty of swooning in there too. All the action and romance & awesomeness I've come to expect from Jus Accardo :)
May 11, 2013
disappointed, yuck
May 14, 2013
Jus Accardo is back but this time with the third instalment in the Denazen series - Tremble. Am I the only one who thought this was the final book? Well, you can imagine my surprise when I reached the end and was like no way is that the end, it can't be! Thankfully, after a bit of Internet searching, I realised I'd completely forgot that it was now a five part series, rather than just three. Thank the lord! Because there is no way I would have been happy with that ending.
Anyways, Tremble picks up shortly after Toxic ends and Dez isn't haven't the best of time. She's trying to locate Kale - who is now in the hands of her father and Denazen. However, when Dez finally finds Kale, or should I say, Kale finds Dez, he's not the same person she once knew. Dez has the hardest and most emotional job in the world and that's trying to get Kale to remember who he is, while also trying to locate more Six's, trying to keep her health up, which is slowly getting worse, oh and trying to stay out of sight of Denazen because she's now officially on their hit list.
Aw, Dez's life is never easy is it? And that's one of the reasons I enjoy this series so much. Dez is a kick-ass main character, she's got attitude and style, she's rash and unpredictable and also pretty funny too. And Kale, one of my favourite book boyfriends, he never seizes to amaze me. Because of Dez and Kale's circumstance's in Tremble, they have so many emotional times together. Kale's different because of what Denazen have done to him. Of course Dez is there every step of the way but, if you thought Toxic was emotional with the whole 'jade' thing, what until you read this. Get the tissue's ready!
I'm really enjoying the direction this series is going. The plot keeps getting thicker and thicker and it's still very unpredictable - which is fantastic. New characters are introduced and it not once feels like Jus is just adding them as filler characters. Each new character needs to be there and I really enjoyed getting to know them.
Overall, Tremble was a great addition to the series, and even though it wasn't my favourite, I still love this series. It's safe to say, I'm excited to see what will happen next and Jus hasn't disappointed me so far, and I don't think she will.

While I am still interested in seeing where the series goes I like each book a little less. In the first book I loved Kale & Dez together. In the second book Kale's behaviour with Jade annoyed me but after seeing his point of view and his reasoning I could let it go. But what happens in this book really ruined that relationship and was I think unnecessary for the bigger picture. Yes it wasn't really Kale's fault that he
May 15, 2013
WTF Jus Accardo, do you hate your characters??!!! How much can you put them through in one book? Poor kids!
September 19, 2016
Not sure I would give it a whole 4 stars, maybe 3.8.
It was all going good and well, but I missed my sweet clueless Kale.
"Kale was Kale, and there was no one else on earth like him. He wasn't your average chocolate chip cookie. No. Kale was a mocha cookie with coffe-flavored chips and a gooey caffeinated center. he was one of a kind - and I wouldn't have changed that for anything on earth."
And the Jade situation still buggs me, are they friends now? enemies? frenemies? What in the God's name is going on? Of course they had a lot of other stuff to worry about, dying from crazies being one of them, but still...
"There'd been a lot of crazy messed-up crap in my life, but I was sitting in an abandoned train car zooming through a strange town while trying to dig a tracking device from the skin of my boyfriend who may or may not still want to kill me. It was enough to make anyone dizzy, and I deserved an extra-large cup of coffee and one of those chocolate-covered strawberries the Blueberry Bean had for taking things as well as I was."
The thing that made me take back those 0.2 stars though...
Well it was kind of the other way around but you get my point, right? I mean, come on, how many times could that shit actually be used?
What I found awesome was the change in Dez's powers. Changing your hair color on a whim? Recreating clothes from fashion magazines? I would be all over that. Seriously cool thing. And yeah, you might argue that her turning handcuffs into paper would be more of a lifehack, but whatever. You have your priorities, I have mine.
Whenever the next book comes out, I hope it brings more wins than losses to the Six's camp. 'Cause they could seriously use that. For now it's 50\50 at best.
Over and out
It was all going good and well, but I missed my sweet clueless Kale.
"Kale was Kale, and there was no one else on earth like him. He wasn't your average chocolate chip cookie. No. Kale was a mocha cookie with coffe-flavored chips and a gooey caffeinated center. he was one of a kind - and I wouldn't have changed that for anything on earth."
And the Jade situation still buggs me, are they friends now? enemies? frenemies? What in the God's name is going on? Of course they had a lot of other stuff to worry about, dying from crazies being one of them, but still...
"There'd been a lot of crazy messed-up crap in my life, but I was sitting in an abandoned train car zooming through a strange town while trying to dig a tracking device from the skin of my boyfriend who may or may not still want to kill me. It was enough to make anyone dizzy, and I deserved an extra-large cup of coffee and one of those chocolate-covered strawberries the Blueberry Bean had for taking things as well as I was."
The thing that made me take back those 0.2 stars though...

Writing as a fan of Jus's books. But I did edit this one too, so I'm biased.
Best one in the series so far IMO. There's plenty of swoonage and action. SO MUCH AWESOME!!
I love KALE. SO SO much. <33

I can’t tell you how much I've been waiting for this book. Because of the cliffhanger of Toxic, I was scratching the wall throughout the winter and counted the days until I can find out what happened to the main characters, of course mostly with Kale. So please forbear with me as I’m very keen to read the story and I am a bit biased when it comes to the Denazen Trilogy:)
And Jus did it. Again. I couldn’t put the book down easily and when couldn’t read it all the time, my thoughts were always around the story.
I’ve said about the first book, it was badass like the heroine herself. It’s action-packed, they kept the story pinning and slowed down sometimes to a private show so our main characters could become better acquainted with each other. The second book was the same, but there were more parts on it, where emotions have played major role. In the end of the second one I felt that Tremble will cause plenty of heartbreaking moments.
And I was right. As I’ve lost in the story, at first I cursed fluently about how the author was able to do this with us. She broke my heart (I don’t dare to talk about Dez’s heart) again so much that I collected all the pieces with a tea-spoon. When I thought that it was no longer going to get worse, she thrusted another dagger into our hearts destroying it completely, we had to re-build up everything again from the ashes.
Of course we had quite a lot action scenes, sometimes I was just gawking that how they will get out of a situation alive, but we got many emotional parts as well. I was glad about that separately though, but Faceless – the recently released Denazen book – connected the two books (Toxic and Tremble) functionally and Brandt had role in this novel as well. I got to like him so much and I was glad to see him again.
Alex is one of my hot favourite, even if he could be sometimes a big asshole, mostly when they are together with Kale as I know that he enjoys to „suck Kale’s blood”. But he is always with Dez and he helps her even in the most impossible situations.
But Ginger… however I still failed to like her. I think she is a cunning, sly old woman, even though I know that everything she does has a reason and as a leader, she can’t keep in mind the welfare of the individuals but the whole community. But…. Sometimes I hated her more than the people in Denazen group.
Dez is the same kickass young girl whom I fell in love with in the first part. She can’t sit tight for a minute and she always gets into trouble. And moreover she has motivation now to get into such situations that sane people avoid. I liked her so far, but now I added her permanently to my favourite heroines. Regardless, that almost everything conspired against her, she is fighting for her life, for her loved ones and especially for one person – though her relationship with him was dancing on a razor’s edge in most of the book. I love that she never gives up hope and she has twisted sense of humour in every situation. Sometimes she has such phrases that they should be also taught!
And of course KALE. I promise, I will cut short. Kale already won me over in the first book and I would find it difficult to believe that he could do anything to make me not like him.
In the first two books we could only read about he had a dark side as well and sometimes we got a taste of it for a short time. In this book however, „Mr. Innocence” disappeared and replaced by a person who – however I’m still one of his biggest fan – made me shiver sometimes. He is a rationally-minded assassin. He is exactly what he was trained for long time ago and who is even more dangerous now because of certain things, than he was.
I loved to know his side also – because we didn’t see only his „innocent little boy” personality at last. What happens to him and Dez, unfortunately I can’t tell you because it would be a huge spoiler, but it’s sure that I have never worried about them so much until now.
The supporting characters are constantly changing and we got many suprises about who is on whose side is.
I was really curious how Jus writes the end of the book so that she is still able to keep our interest alive. Because although this series included three parts originally, Jus announced last fall that there will be more books (and plus the short novellas). I can tell that she was successful!:)
Many threads are not closed and she wrote such a twist, that gives a nice cliffhanger for the story. And that short story from Kale’s POV in the end! It was a big surprise! I loved it! On one hand it was such a part that I think a lot of people will be interested in after finishing the book and on the other hand, being in Kale’s head…. still an incredible experience!
Of course this novel has small faults and if I would want to, I could surely list some, but the story is so tied me up that I didn’t look for them. Overall, we got a very good book and every Kale and Denazen series fan must read!

Tremble is a book that I have been waiting for a very long time. As soon as I got approved for the title on NetGalley, I dived into the book and drowned myself in its awesomeness. The Denazen series is a series that's dear to me because I have loved it from book 1 and Jus Accardo does not fail to impress in this installment.
I love the growth that Dez has undergone throughout the series. She started off as an impulsive and rebellious young woman, but she has matured so much over the course of the books. In Tremble, Jus Accardo takes it further with Dez's character by allowing her to grow even further. Dez has turned into a strong, level-headed heroine that you can't help but root for. After the events of Toxic, she has blossomed into an even braver character than she initially was. I was glad that despite the many ups and downs that she endured in the previous books, she hasn't allowed those events to weaken her even a bit. In fact, I would say that Dez has learned so much from her past mistakes. Dez was the sort of character who was willing to battle demons to help the people that she loves. I loved what an independent, fearless and spunky character she was. I was also happy that she didn't let the fact that Kale was absent from her life break her down. Instead, she went along with her life, but still planning on saving him. Kale also went through hell in Tremble. He had to overcome so many obstacles and it seemed like they would not stop coming in his pathway, but despite that he was a strong character. I loved his sweet innocence in this series. It is what makes him so lovable. Kale has to be one of the heart-warming love interest that I have ever read about and that is exactly what I loved about him. No matter how much I love my bad boys in my YA books, I have a soft spot for the genuinely caring ones. As far as the villains go, they still fill me with so much hatred and I doubt that will change anytime soon. These are the sort of villains that you actually enjoy hating because they are just terrible human beings. Jus Accardo has crafted wonderful secondary characters in this series and I'm happy to say that they are even better in this installment.
When I went into Tremble, I knew I could count on Jus Accardo to feed me plenty of action that would leave me breathless and that's exactly what she did. The book started with a bang and right up to the last page, it was action-packed. Brimming with suspense, Tremble kept me on the edge of my seat. I devoured this book because I was so invested in it. The world-building was also further developed. Tremble was the kind of book in which there was never a dull moment. By the time it ended, I still wanted more. The romance in this series has been one of my favorite aspects of it. Dez and Kale share such a beautiful relationship. They make each other much better people and that is exactly why I love them together. Kale's innocence complements Dez's rebellious streak. These two were just perfect together! In Tremble, their love was put to test by circumstances, but by the end of the book, it was stronger than it ever was. Kale said the sweetest things ever which made up for some swoon-worthy moments between them. Ever since Touch, Jus Accardo has been one of my favorite authors. Her brilliant writing has an addictive quality to it. Plus, it helps that she takes her time to build her world, develop her characters and make us swoon with her romance. There's no doubt after reading this book that I'm buying every single thing she writes even if its a book about penguins! That's how much I love her books!
Tremble was my favorite book in the Denazen series. Complex characters, rich world-building and a romance that gave me butterflies and made me wish that I had a Kale too, Tremble surpassed all my expectations. Fans of the series, this is not an installment you want to miss! And for those of you who haven't tried this series yet, then now's definitely the time.

Have you read book 1 and 2 yet? If not, don't read this review... You've been warned!! Also - I may include some spoilers here - so don't read on if you don't want to know what's happening!!
Dez isn't having the best luck lately. Tremble picks up shortly after Toxic left us and Dez is struggling for a couple reasons. First, she's a six and the drug she was given to enhance her abilities is now a deadly countdown to insanity and death. Second, she's on Denazen's hitlist because of it. And finally, her father is using Kale, the love of her life, against her and ultimately to kill her.
At the end of Toxic, Kale trades his life for hers, and Denazen did their worst to him. They erased Dez from his mind and replaced his memories with false ones and they gave him a new trial drug called Domination. Now he's doing things the old Kale never would have considered... including kissing her half-sister.
The underground group is trying to save all of the six's and so a lot of this book is finding them and hopefully getting there before those who want to get rid of them, and convincing them to return with them. Along the way, we find that the Denazen agents and Dez's group are working from the same list hoping to get to the one person who's blood may hold the cure for those on the termination list.
I will admit up front that I wasn't as happy with book 2, (probably because of Jade) but book 3 came back with a bang. I sympathized with Dez much more in this book ... the hurt of seeing him with Kiernan and the pain of knowing the relationship they shared, and Kale not having a single recollection and the anger and coldness he had toward her. It just about did me in.
Dez, while always a pretty strong character in the other books, really stepped it up in this book. She was prepared to fight for Kale and prove to him who she truly was even if it endangered her life. But she didn't take his crap either. Even with the effects of the Supremacy project slowing her down, she pushes through it.
I was wondering what Denazen was going to do with Kale once they got their hands on him, and I wasn't disappointed. I absolutely didn't expect this. Kale has become someone else in the time they've been apart, and this new version isn't who Dez would have fallen for, but she gets hints of her Kale throughout. Even though his memories have been taken, his body and mind deep down know Dez and so he fights to know the truth. I loved seeing this other side of Kale and I am interested in seeing how once more and more of his memories return, The Domination project will affect who he was and is.
Accardo fills this book with tons of action and suspense. Throwing in twists that I didn't even see coming. I'm incredibly excited to see where she takes us in book 4.

5 STARS!
I may be biased since I've loved this series from the beginning, but I absolutely loved, loved, loved this book! The story continues a little while after the ending of book 2. It was certainly a kick to the gut finding out what happened to Kiernan and Kale. I absolutely wanted to slap her silly because I hate her with a passion. Even though we're shed some light on her hatred for Dez, I still hate her (a tiny bit less, but still with a passion).
Oh Jus Accardo, you sent me on a complete emotional roller coaster and pulled an Inception on me. Not necessarily the "something within something within something", but the total mind f*** that comes with it @_@. So many emotional ups and downs along with M. Night Shyamalan twists out of nowhere. I felt like I aged with the emotional distressed and frustration I constantly felt throughout the novel.
The only complaint I have (aside from the emotional workout) is that there wasn't much time spent about what happened to Alex. I do understand that there were more "important" matters of the story to attend to, but I would've liked a tiny bit more time dedicated to focusing on what happened to him (admittedly, I have a soft spot for him). <3
Speaking of soft spots, I have one for Aubrey. Scratch that, I just love him now. You don't get to know him until much later in a bonus scene. Even though the bonus scene was brief, I sympathized with Aubrey so much. I didn't hate Aubrey coming into the novel, but I didn't love him either. But after reading that bonus scene, I'm on board with him!
If you've been following this series from the beginning and you've loved what you've read so far, you will absolutely LOVE this book. Despite how much I hate the situation Dez is thrown in and the constant heart ache I'm in for her, this is probably my favorite of the series so far. If you're new to this series, READ IT NOW. If you love YA novels where people have special powers with romance and the ultimate bad guy, you will absolutely love this series!

Tremble Review on K-Books
Having read the first two books in the Denezen series I was so excited to get my hands on Tremble. I absolutely adored the first two books in the series and Denezen has fast become one of my favourite series of all time. Jus Accardo has a serious talent for writing and I have loved everything that she has wrote to date. After the major cliffhanger that Toxic had I needed this book so bad.
Kale has gone and Dez will do everything in her power to find him. But Kale happens to be the least of her problems as the rest of the Sixes will do anything to save Dez. She is nearing 18 which means her powers are getting stronger and the stronger they get the weaker she gets. Can Dez survive long enough to find Kale? Will Kale be the same person he was when he left? And can they find something to save Dez's life? They are in a race against the clock and it is unsure whether all of them will survive.
I have to admit that for the first half of this series I didn't like it all that much. Well... I liked it but it hurt my heart too much. To have Kale apart from Dez and not know what had happened to him made me very sad. All I wanted was to have them together again and some of this book just made me angry with what was happening. The second half was a hell of a lot better and I ended up adoring this book and feeling like it is the best of the series to date.
The Denezen Series is known for it's heart-pounding storyline and non-stop action. Tremble is no different. I couldn't read this book fast enough. I was dying to find out what was going to happen to these characters and I couldn't stop turning the pages. Tremble is fast-paced and heartstopping. It is packed with action and romance and is everything that you could possibly want in a book.
It's true that this book is tough. It's physically hurts for the most part and if you're a fan of Dez and Kale your heart will break... but it is totally worth it and it just makes everything better once you are through the hard part. I loved Tremble and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in the Denezen series.

I loved Tremble and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in the Denezen series.

AH-MAYZ-ING.
ANOTHER ASTONISHING, COMPELLING AND CAPTIVATING INSTALL!ENT TO ONE OF- IN MY OPINION, THE BEST YA SERIES EVER.
With every sequel I become more in love with this series. I don't think I can account for a time when reading these books that I have been able to draw my attention away from a page. I hear my phone ring in the background or someone knocking on my front door but it seems so far away it doesn't recognise. I am unable to function whilst reading these books because I am too emerged in Accardo's world. Too emerged in Kale, Dez, Alex...
Not once has Jus let me down. I wouldn't change one thing in this book or any other Denazen novel. Each one has been perfectly written, plotted and created.
This book was as good as the last. None can be better because there is no better, they have all been the best. With this series there is no room for improvement they are simply exquisite and smash expectations each and every time.
This book kept surprising me with unexpected happenings, excited me with a fast paced plot and kept me on an emotional roller coaster from cover to cover.
I don't now why I keep being blown away and amazed after each novel I should know to expect nothing else from a writer who is in a class of their own.
I love this series.. Love seems like an understatement but I can't find another word that would be sufficient enough anyway.
Definitley a top read of mine for 2013. Bring on the next instalment I say. Anyone who hasn't read this... Be ashamed! Your missing out. Big time.

Damn that was good!
I've been waiting for this series like forever! It killed me to wait for this book as TOXIC ended in a cliffhanger, but damn it was worth the wait!
TREMBLE picks up were TOXIC leaves you hanging! Dez is still looking for OMG!
This is another great addition to the series! TREMBLE exceeded my expectation, Jus Accardo never fail to amazed me!
Now my only problem is to wait for the next book! lol

I officially have a girl crush on Dez. She's so ridiculously awesome, it puts me to shame. Her and Katy from Obsidian together would be so badass!
And of course Kale also has a special place in my heart! I hope his memories to return do return though :)

Where do I start??
I have mixed feelings about this.
Let's start at the beginning. Dez completely lost herself and I think she could have fight better for Kale but nooooo no way .instead she was depressed for weeks ofc.
It's not enough that Kale appears with his memory erased, but Brandt also appears, which wouldn't be a problem, but he is mentioned very few times, which I don't understand why there is no more mention of him.
There are parts in which Alex and Jade's relationship completely turned into ✨️enemys to lovers ✨️, which I don't even mind but.. THERE IS NO WORD ABOUT THEN . I don't get it why bc I think they would be a good couple but of course, let's focus on the main MAIN relationship:
Dez and Kale's messed up relationship, in which Kale is with Dez's sister. Like The fuck?
Okay, let's deal with this, but in the meantime we continue with the event and when Dez and Kale get to Penny, one of the sources of hope has disappeared.
I didn't even understand how, but Dez and Kale's relationship also became ✨️enemys to lovers✨️, which I have a hard time accepting, and before and after Kale kills people, they only deal with Kale, Kale, Kale ..oh yeah and Kale.
Which I understand, but it shouldn't have been just two of them doing things while Dez has a small group who could have helped them but noooo.
And it also turns out that Kale had sex with Kiernan. LIKE WHAT THE FU-
What the hell is happening here ???
Kiernan became a hysterical slut, and saying that Kale loves her- who are you talking to ?
Okey...
Fine
FINE!!
And of course, time passes better and they tell that Alex's memory has disappeared?!? Oh my lord-
He was my favorite!! Now he's gone to see the world and find himself. Nice. It's good. Just good. Not to mention one of the interesting characters like you know ,why would they ?
And the big BIG question. Who the hell is Dez's father ?? I was glad that the father is not a mental patient, but like this is serious now? something else? maybe we should revive Dez'sister , let Alex die, Sue will be kidnapped while we're at this crayz stuff now .
What els in the new book ????
Like what do you have to say ?

THIS WAS SOO DAMN GOOD!!!! I can’t believe the next book hasn’t even been written yet!! WHAT IS THAT NONSENSE!? So far this series has just been amazing!! I was 77% through and was about to go to sleep after “another chapter” and I just couldn’t put the damn book down! It was so so so good! Kale, you are my new fictional boyfriend. I love you.
