Resisting Ruby Rose Kindle Edition

Book 2 of 2: Ruby Rose

See all formats and editions

Still reeling from the heartbreaking events that unfolded on Grissom Island, Ruby Rose is trying to come to terms with the fact that she’s gone from a vigilante in killer shoes to a stone-cold killer. Everyone from her therapist to her smoking-hot boyfriend keeps trying to convince her that she hasn’t crossed over to the dark side, but Ruby isn’t so sure. It doesn’t help that her nemesis, Detective “Mastermind” Martinez, is still out there, waiting for another chance to take her down.

When an alleged CIA agent named Skryker shows up and asks for a meeting, Ruby figures it just means more questions about her case. But he has information of an entirely different nature and a job offer: join an elite force of young assassins, including Skryker’s right-hand guy, Quinn Donovan. Quinn is distractingly charming, handsome—and deadly. Ruby resists becoming a killer again, but as she becomes more ensnared in a web of deceit, no one around her is safe.

WOW! I loved this. Fantastic read with tons of action and all kinds of HOT guys! I couldn't put it down. The development in plot as well as characters and relationships is phenomenal. The writing is superb! Sometimes you'll be on the edge of your seat while other times you're laughing out loud! Can't get enough of Ruby Rose!!! Can't wait for more Jessie Humphries!

Unbelievable but a good read

This second book of the series was a bit better ( more complicated plot, New characters) than the first. Easy to see where the series is going. But at least briefly, evil given a good fight.

"Pretty good. Not great."

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2015

I liked it, but.. Too much language. Too much steamy stuff. Good to hear girl/boy stuff from a woman's point of view and the characters are engaging, but the author seems to want you to be more concerned over who might take her virtue than who might take her life. The ending is anticlimactic and seems rushed. If the author had spent a couple more hours removing the language and steam, I would probably recommend this one and read the next one. "Pretty good. Not great."

I really like this book. It continued the storyline from the first book and added many new twists. The author has added more layers to the characters from the first book and added several new very interesting characters.
I like the turn made with this book to the secret assassins and their agenda. I do regret not rereading the first book before diving into this one.
I definitely recommend this book and series. I am anxiously awaiting the next installment.

Just like the first book, this was is reminiscent of Veronica Mars but the difference is that this one adds an element of Spy Kids to it. The book picks up pretty much where the first book leaves off. This book introduces a few more characters into the mix but still keeps the characters from the last book thoroughly in the mix. Although the book does not leave in a cliffhanger it does leave the door open for the next book. Definitely worth picking up this following up and looking forward to the next book in the Ruby Rose series.

These books are wonderful, thrilling and you don't want to put them down. I am waiting for Series Book 3 to come out, which I hope won't be too long!!!! If you haven't read Series 1 and 2, buy them now. You won't be disappointed.

Not nearly as good as the first

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2015

Verified Purchase

Resisting Ruby Rose was nowhere near as good as the first book in this series. Where the first book was clever and had a good plot with very interesting action, this book was awkward and lacked the interesting "fight" scenes that made up the first book. Besides two small sections (in the beginning and very end,) the book was just Ruby trying to sort out her feelings for all the men in her life. Being a brat to her only existing father, seeking the attention of a boy who clearly doesn't care for her (which is awkward in its own right, as Liam moments before deserting her tells her he loves her,) and trying to squelch her feelings for the new boy in her life. Liam also does a complete 180- and by the way, who would ask him to join an elite division of secret agents anyway, he literally has 0 experience in that sort of thing.... Overall this book wasn't good. Especially compared to the first.

To me, this book lacked the charm of the first book in this series. This one is much more violent.
