From June last year, I have been hooked as Cassidy Harts’s life in this dystopian, war torn world, unfolded before me. I think it's safe to say the Collapse Series is my new obsession. It is so very easy for me to just start gushing about everything I love about it, but I fear no amount of words would be able to do that. I find myself thinking about this series even when I’m not reading it. Summer has been very blessed with her story telling ability. I was totally engrossed from the first sentence until the very last period.
Summer’s writing is so realistic. She transfers the reader-whatever age or gender-straight into Cassidy’s life as she and Chris fight to take this country back from the Omega forces. We experience Cassidy’s turmoil in STATE OF REBELLION whether to leave her father and help Chris with the militia or stay safe at the camp with her dad.
STATE OF REBELLION picks up after the militia has met up with other militias. Combining forces to try and defeat Omega. Cassidy is one of my favorite heroines ever. She has matured so much since the STATE OF EMERGENCY. Both her walk and talk show just how confident she is now. She thinks like a kick butt soldier instead of a high school student. She is a force to be reckoned with and everyone knows it-even the other militias. And she is a heck of a shot. Chris can be confident when she is asked to help lead the militias into war.
I absolutely love Cassidy and Chris’s relationship. The way the two characters play off each other. Their conversations are an easy banter of sorts. And with Chris being almost 10 years older than Cassidy, you can see how he strives to take care of her at all cost. But yet in the final pages you can see Cassidy changing and realizing Chris can’t always be there and then the unthinkable happens.
This series has surpassed most of all the other series on my Kindle. As I've said before, this series is one of my favorites.. So in the end, the only thing I hated about STATE OF REBELLION or the Collapse Series as a whole, is I have to wait once more for the next novel. The ending to this novel is the very definition of a cliffhanger.

“This,” he says, “is all yours.”
I step into the room. Weapons and equipment are hanging from every nook and cranny. It’s a goldmine of war goodies. Chris, however, is holding up a single object. A rifle. It’s brand new, it’s sleek, and it’s awesome. He hands it to me.
It’s mine.
I curl my fingers around the weapon, the metal cool against my skin. I test the weight. Not too heavy. Just right for my size. A scope is mounted on top of the weapon.
“I’ve really needed one of these,” I say.
“You’re a great shot without optics,” he replies. “With it you’ll be unstoppable.” He hoists a backpack. “I packed this for you. It’s got a new uniform, supplies, equipment. Upgraded radio, night vision goggles.” He grins and pulls out a small handgun. “There are some nice toys in here, too. This one’s just your size.”
“You packed this for me?” I asked, touched. Because with all of the things he’s got to worry about, it’s beyond sweet that he would go to the trouble of getting supplies together for me. “Thank you.”
“My pleasure.” He drapes one strap of the pack over my shoulder. “You’re really in the military now, Cassie. It suits you.”
“I don’t know.” I gaze up at his sure, handsome face. “Does it?”
“I wouldn’t lie to you.” He tucks a loose strand of hair behind my ear. “There’s not a lot of people that would adjust to this sort of lifestyle so well. You’ve got a gift.”
“I’ve got a great leader,” I reply, standing on my tiptoes. “You.”
He laughs softly, placing one hand on each side of my waist.
“Is that so?” he asks.
“Yes.” I kiss his cheek. “Thank you, Chris. For everything.”
“Don’t thank me yet.”
