I have eagerly awaited this installment in the Day of Sacrifice series and I was not disappointed. Stacey started off Rebellion with an action scene that includes major loss of life. Who suffers and who doesn't? Well, you're going to have to read it to find out! Sorry, but I despise spoilers!! There are so many more elements in this installment than there were in Day of Sacrifice. The introduction of a vampire to the mix of characters was interesting. The idea he is hunted down by his own kind a...more
Received a copy from the author so I'm going to give it a shot. I've enjoyed some of her other books and supporting indie authors is fun!

This was another good, fast read. I don't think I've ever read a series like this, where all the stories are short stories. Again just a a couple questions/comments I have:
1. What was the roof made of on Julian's house? Or should I assume that it came off from the strong blast of air, the helicopter gave off because it was so old?
2. I like how they buried the dead Guardians and their charges, that seemed really sweet.
3. I get that the stories are short, so it makes things move faster than when y...more

I would recommend reading DOS 1 before starting 2 JUST so you won't miss out on the beginning of such a good story! While part 1 was my favorite, part 2 starts where we left off and introduces new/old characters to the fold. Our favorite couple is still around, just not as vocal this time due to the introduction of Cara/Able, which is a more grown up type of budding relationship. I found their banter to be hilarious! Not as hot as the first pairing, but there is alot going on and the characters...more
Since finishing "Day of Sacrifice" book one of this novella series I have been crazily awaiting this release. I hoped it would be just as great as the first, and Stacey did not disappoint. In fact in this installment there was more action, more magic, more romance. In the first book the story was played through the two characters Flora and Julian. They are still big in this book as they are the leaders of the rebellion against the Gods and their askance for sacrifices. This story is mainly looki...more
Plot: This book is part 2 of the Day of Sacrifice series (my review of the first one here). This one had a bit more fighting in it which showed off even more of the magic that people possess in this series which was AWESOME in my opinion. Semi-superheros fighting along side guardian angels in a rebellion against the Gods = AWESOME.
Characters: I was little confused with the switch of characters. There’s a different POV in this book but it’s the same story line and the characters. Once I realized...more

I have been a fan of Stacey Wallace Benefiel since her first foray into YA fiction with Zellie Wells and Glimpse, which I totally enjoyed. Having loved Glimpse and Glimmer, I was curious about what she would do with a more adult universe. It has been interesting to follow the characters from Day of Sacrifice a little bit further on their journey. This new world Ms. Benefiel has created is deeper and fuller, with a complex mythology and magical system that is truly unique. Gods and goddesses who...more

This book is chaos! Rebellions are chaotic and SW Benefiel just simply made me feel the chaos. There is so much going on here. People are running around everywhere doing their own thing, there are attacks, mini-battles, information recon, injuries and death, new characters galore, and I can’t forget the love affairs. There are vampires, and witches, and guardians (Oh my!). There is just so much going o...more

Rebellion starts where Day of Sacrifice ends, but it is from the view of Cara, a witch and mother of a recent sacrifice. She has left her hateful husband to join the rebellion and do whatever it takes to stop anymore human sacrifices.
At Julian’s home in the Outer Territory Cara uses her skills to heal and save any others from being taken, along with providing motherly advice to all the younger rebels. Her powers are strong, but even the strong need a shoulder to lean on and Abel, a guardian ange...more

I didn't really care that much for the 1st book but I thought I give this one a shot because I like the author. I wanted to like it but I didn't. There were too many characters and too much going on. The book just jumped right into it. I didn't find a smooth transition from the first book to this one. As much as I tried, I could not get into this book. Trying to remember each new character, who they were and what they were doing throughout the book was too confusing for me. I found myself rushin...more
*This is a combined review of the first three books in the Day of Sacrifice series*
The story begins with Flora waking up - naked after an all-night bender - to her Guardian telling her she quits. A message left for Flora from her sister indicates she is in danger and needs a Guardian more than ever. It is only three days until her day of sacrifice. As the oldest child, at 21 she must give her life for her family. She must be there and alive to grant her family favors from the Gods. It has been t...more

The second book in the DoS series opens just before the ending of the first book, Day of Sacrifice: The Prophecy. When the first book ended with a cliffhanger, I had questions that needed answers. Where the heck did they all come from? How did they know to do that? Where did they go? And also, what happens to Julian? Well, the book continues with the storyline so we do get to see what happens immediately after the cliffhanger ending in the first book and questions get answered. This installment...more
Please, please, please tell me I don't have to wait until March for Dormant? This is an awesome sequel, adding more character development and action! Plus, I think I have a crush on Abel...oy vie! Highly recommended, but need to read DoS first to get the basics set up.
I have a great time writing the DoS short stories. Hope you enjoy these little reading escapes.
I love this world the author has created. I really enjoyed Day of Sacrifice, and I wasn't disappointed with this second story in the series. I love the characters, the action, and the emotions in these stories. Great job! I can't wait to read more by this author.
I think this is a fantastic series!! The characters are well written and there is plenty of action. I look forward to the next installment.
Confusing but couldn't put it down
I love the way that this short story has introduced us to another interesting couple as the rebellion continues to grow. This time Julian and Flora take a back seat to Cara and Abel. Cara was the mother of Julian's last charge Aiden before his sacrifice and has joined the cause. Cara lends her powers to the growing rebellion and finds love with gaurdian Abel. I can't wait to see what will happen next as the rebellion moves forward in their mission to end the Day of Sacrifice for good.
I felt like this was a step up on the action front in this series. It did not end where I would have ended it, but hey, author's choice. I really enjoyed Cara and Abel, and I felt like this was a really good continuation of Day of Sacrifice. Really looking forward to the third installment.
Not as good as the first but it as an Ok short story.
Oh, this was more than I thought it would be. Review coming
