Divine Destiny Chronicles #2
Relentless Rebels
After rescuing their kidnapped friends and stopping the government from assassinating Councilor Sierra Stone, Jordan and Team Seven thought the fight was over, but the real battle is just beginning. Sierra must now try to regain her role in the Global Collective Council while also convincing them that River Wallis, co-chair of the Council, tried to kill her. But her success could very well lead to a civil war.
The Council will do everything in their power to stop Sierra, including killing her allies. Barely surviving an attack on their mountain hideaway, Jordan and Team Seven’s lives are on the line. Again. But Team Seven won’t give up that easily, and they set out to rally support for their cause. Unfortunately for Team Seven, they’re caught in the middle as the world takes sides.
Amidst attacks, lies, betrayals, and devastating losses, Jordan’s faith is shaken, and she struggles with her hatred for River Wallis. She knows that judgment belongs to God, but when she finally comes face to face with River, Jordan must rely on her faltering faith to choose wisely—give in to her need for vengeance, or give it up for God to decide.

Sharon René has crafted another mind-blowing, action-packed young adult Christian novel. I’m thrilled that "Hesitant Heroes" and "Relentless Rebels" released within six months of each other so I didn’t have to wait to discover Team Seven’s new assignments.
In this installment of the "Divine Destiny Chronicles," Councilor Sierra Stone tasks Jordan and her multi-talented friends with promoting her vision of the Global Collective Council (GCC)—one that involves freedom of choice and equality. Set in 2063, the story points out that much remains the same in the future: poverty, power struggles, and greed. Team Seven’s eyes are opened as they travel from one ravaged city to another. They must deal with untimely deaths, betrayals, and physical challenges.
Councilor Stone’s nemesis, River Wallis, has a different concept for the GCC. She has convinced her twin brother, Hunter, that the GCC should be run by a small segment of the world’s population, the European Collective. As the story progresses, Team Seven learns the lengths to which River will go in order to achieve her dreams, including killing Councilor Stone and her supporters.
River’s followers blame religion for every wrong in the world. Though the leaders of Team Seven, Jordan and Matthew, are Christian, they begin to lose their trust in God as they watch loved ones die and their plans unravel. Thankfully, the author weaves the truth of God’s faithfulness throughout their journeys.
While this story is darker than "Hesitant Heroes," there are some light moments. I discovered that good barbeque survived in Old Memphis and that cranky cows can brighten otherwise depressing scenes. The touch of clean romance between several couples also brought smiles to my lips.
I recommend this thriller to older teens, both male and female, because of the violence and romance. Their parents might also enjoy the series.

I think teens will love the exciting conclusion of this dystopian YA series that ends with a surprise. Relentless Rebels by Sharon Rene looks at the internal struggles that develop as one fights external battles in a corrupt society. The author portrays character emotions and growth in powerful scenes. Thrust into 2063, readers root for Team Seven to overcome the evil ruler, but also root for them to overcome their fears and doubts and to choose the righteous way to act over the temptations for vengeance. Working through anger and unforgiveness makes life messy in a normal situation. Add righting a wrong in there and you’ve got yourself lots of tension.
