His abilities are out of this world!! He is no stupid male character either. Vi is now brainwashed and Raine has to watch over Vi for her father. Not only does she have a connection to Jag, she also has a connection to Vi…who happens to be her roommate. Her dad has no clue what she actually does. What better main character than a traitor? And one to her own father? Raine is a badass heroine, a Free Thinker, like Vi and an amazing liar. This is where Raine connects to the first book. Raine just so happens to work for the Resistance. She is the daughter of the Director, the one who is the head of the Possession world, the one who wants to control all. 🙂 I’m rooting for their happy ending in Abandon, the final book in the Possession trilogy. In these cases, I either grow to love the new characters eventually or end up abandoning the next books in all.īy the end of this novel, I happened to grow very fond of Raine and Gunner. When it comes to series and when the characters change from each book, I have trouble connecting with the new ones because I’m still attached to the previous main characters.

I guess that was her way of torturing the readers even further. At first, I was very confused and angry because how were these characters going to be connected to Vi and Jag? After that damn ending in Possession, I thought it was very cruel of Johnson to not write Surrender in either Vi, Zenn or Jag’s point of view. In Surrender, Johnson introduces two new characters, Raine and Gunner. THREE FREAKING YEARS. I had to reread Surrender to write this review and after reading it, I want to kick past-me in the damn shins for not reading the last book any sooner, especially after reading Book 2’s ending. She’s even starting to suspect Vi’s secrets might involve Freedom’s newest prisoner, the rebel Jag Barque….ĭisclaimer: Minor spoilers from the first book!! Read at your own discretion! But Raine is beginning to wonder what Vi knows that her father is so anxious to keep hidden, and what might happen if she helps Vi remember it. Raine’s father expects her to spy on Vi and report back to him. Raine has never known anyone as heavily brainwashed as Vi. Especially when she discovers his connection to Vi’s boyfriend, Zenn.

Raine’s got every reason in the world to stay away from Gunn, but she just can’t. Not even her roommate, Vi.Īll of that changes when Raine falls for Gunner.

It’s because of him that Raine is willing to use her talent-a power so dangerous, no one else is allowed to know about it. After all, they are her father’s rules: He’s the Director. Forbidden love, intoxicating power, and the terror of control…
