Volition is book 2 in the Perception series by Lee Strauss. Set in a futuristic world where genetic alteration is common place, Volition picks up where Perception (book 1) left off.This roller coaster sequel is tense and exciting. Zoe's grandfather is running for president and he's not about to let Zoe get in the way. He ruthlessly pursues her and Noah across the country.I was constantly urging them onwards and praying they could get away and stay safe!Zoe is a completely different person than the Zoe we knew in Perception, she's more fragile and confused about how her feelings towards Noah. She knows that she loved him, but she doesn't really feel it, although as they run for their lives, feelings can change...Poor Noah! He saves the girl he loves and now it's almost like she's gone. I so admired his loyalty to Zoe, no matter what was happening between them, he refuses to leave her and is determined to rescue them both.Although the book was a thrilling and fast-paced read, I was disappointed by the romance aspect- but that's becasue I'm such a romance junkie! Zoe and Noahs' relationship in Volition basically comprised of a few misunderstandings, plenty of jealousy and a few electrifying close calls. Fingers crossed for more in the next book of the series!Overall, a great, edgy read that keeps you guessing and wanting more.I received a review copy from Orangeberry Book Tours, for my honest opinion.
