Collapse #9
State of Allegiance
"You'd never guess...Summer Lane would be the genius behind a series of military apocalypse novels."
- 92.6 The Blitz, Radio Rocks
Be brave. Be vigilant. But above all, be loyal.
In the wake of a dangerous but successful mission to Yukon City in Alaska, Cassidy Hart now finds herself back in California, at the naval air station in San Diego. Together, she and Chris now face their most terrifying threat yet: nuclear destruction.
Surviving in a world gone nuclear is easier said than done. Faced with the prospect of being wiped off the face of the earth by Omega's nuclear arsenal, Cassidy, Chris and their fellow rebel friends stage an incredible, daring journey into the Pacific Rim with the hope that they will be able to seize a weapon that could turn the tide of the war in the militia's favor.
The clock of the apocalypse is counting down.
Choices must be made. Relationships will be strained. True love will be put to the ultimate test.
It's militias versus Omega. Hope versus destruction.
Where does your allegiance lie?
Choose carefully.
The ninth installment in the national and international phenomenon by #1 bestselling author Summer Lane.

I've read this at least 7 times already, but don't worry - I'll read it again and again before publication! SO EXCITED about this installment. Thanks for the support, readers. Looking forward to February 24, 2017!

I am literally in love with this series and will probably reread the whole series again after the 10th books comes out. Summer Lane you have wrote a phenomenal series and nothing I have read comes even close to this

I absolutely LOVE this series. Ms Lane has a winning formula with this action/adventure/horror/ romance/little bit of humor - heck if you want it is in this series. The plot lines keep you on your toes. It is difficult for me to review without giving away anything, but lets just say you never know what's going to happen around the next corner. I find myself frustrating : Waiting for the next book while wishing for it to drag on a little bit more. The Collapse series is one of those that I wish never ends. State of Allegiance left us on a cliffhanger, but the adventures in this one made the team stronger and Cassidy Hart had evolve in a military hero true to her self and capable of anything. I can recommend this book, not just for young adults but everyone. The writing style is easy and the plot keep you engaged with lifelike characters that I grew to love and admire for their courage and determination. Well done Ms Lane.

ARC provided for an honest review
This series has been such a rollercoaster, and book nine does not disappoint! This might be my favorite installment since the first three. While I have enjoyed each book in the Collapse series, I felt like the last few books we lost a little bit of Cassidy and Chris, and State of Allegiance gives us their connection and banter once again. I don't feel I can do this review justice without giving away important parts of the story, but it is full of everything we love about Collapse.
Chris, Cassidy and their team have come so far and have gone to the extreme to fight Omega, and State of Allegiance not only takes you on a heart pounding adventure against Omega forces, but gives us a new setting, and new evils to battle. Emotional, intense, action packed, and a nasty cliffhanger ending have me waiting impatiently for book 10 and the conclusion of Collapse.
Clearly if you are reading book nine, you have enjoyed books 1-8 as much as I have, and Summer Lane does it again with this one.
I highly suggest reading Unbreakable Seal prior to reading State of Allegiance. It gives Chris so much depth and allows us a glimpse of what he was, who he is, and why he is so pinnacle to this fight.

I was provided an ARC for an honest review.
It's hard to review the book without giving too much away. It's packed full of new twists and turns. And of course Omega. This book had me happy, sad and nearly down right crying. Honestly if your reading this your a reader of this series and you must read this 9th instalment. I'm dying to get my hands on the 10th because it was left on such an emotional cliffhanger. Summer has knocked it out of the park again! Definitely a 5 star read!

Keeps getting better.
This series just keeps getting better and better. Summer Lane has kept her characters true to their original "selves" yet they also keep growing and solidifying. I feel like I am a part of the story and action, that the characters are my friends and cohorts. An amazing author and storyteller! Cannot wait for the next book!!

Yet another heart stopper.
I cannot say enough good things about this series in its entirety. I am hanging by a thread wondering how this is going to end.

A great read
I have read the entire State of series. I enjoyed the way the characters are developed, as they grow and fight for freedom and their homeland. Can't wait for the next one.
