Review: Erased


Erased
Erased by Jennifer Rush

My rating: 3 of 5 stars





Anna, Sam, Cas, & Nick are all on the run after escaping the Branch. They are all experiencing flashbacks, erased memories that are resurfacing. When they get word that someone is searching for Anna in the town of their latest hideout, the person the discover is a shock to them all. This discovery changes everything, and whatever decision they make, alters the course for all of them.
Erased wasn't as good as Altered, but I do like the series, and plan to continue with book three.


***Spoilers***
Dani is the one searching for Anna, but she is captured by the Branch before they find her. They call Trev for help, and he gives them the locations he knows of that they might have her in. When the find her they are ambushed, and barely escape. Anna only escapes because Trev frees her from an agent. Did he set them up? It's ironic they show up there, but why set them up just to save her? Dani is fine with Sam and Anna's relationship, even though they used to be together. All this time everyone thought she was dead. Dani sets them all up, making a deal with Will, their uncle who is also the founder of the Branch. She exchanges the boys, for hers and Anna's freedom. Anna does not go along with this plan, and ends up killing Dani while trying to escape. She also learns from her memories that she is the one who killed her parents after her dad shot her, and was going to kill the rest of them. In the end, Trev helps the boys free Anna, and she kills Will, knowing they will never be free of the Branch with him alive. Trev catches up to Anna in a coffee shop, and gives Anna a cell phone with a detonate button. When the button is pressed, all three of the Branch's locations are blown up. None of the employees are talking, and only Riley is unaccounted for. The four of them are together, and trying to settle into a life without looking over their shoulders at every turn, or fleeing for their lives.
