Defend A Lost Tribe Book 2 eBook K Ross
This was a satisfying read from start to finish. I loved how supported Ollie is by her friends and circle of family members, but still has the freedom to venture out alone to fight her own battles and make her own decisions. Descent and Defend are definately adventurous novels, with tales of caution and of hope that love carries laced throughout. Kallie's description of an ancient world underground were thoughtful and thorough, with a syfy-journey to the center of the earth meets old testament settlements vibe. It was like learning about a parallel universe and being able to dip my hand in to see what it felt like. I loved the concept of noor and the connection it has to its people. The love that Ollie and Mateo share grew stronger and more certain all the way to the ending AND it was a bonus to have a little Spanish sprinkled throughout the books! I will definitely be reading this series again!Product details

Review
The second installment of The Lost Tribes series, Defend takes us back to world beneath our own where we’ll join our friends Ollie, Mateo, Alexis and Jesse, along with Keren, Gabriel as they face the big bad crazy elder Zadok. Oh, and let’s not forget that Sarah, Olivia’s mother, is the daughter of said crazy leader making Ollie his granddaughter.
Crazy enough twist for you? Well if not hang onto your hats as Ollie learns that she can do things with her noor that she didn’t know was possible. The question is can she and her mother stop a madman from destroying both civilizations. As much as I’d love to tell you more, I can’t spoil the read for you. Kallie Ross definitely has a winner on her hands!
As with Descent, much of the story takes place beneath the earth’s surface as Ollie and company try to find and stop her Grandfather from destroying noor, and both worlds in the process. Earthquakes, cave-in and frightened tribal members make their journey fraught with hazard after hazard as well as teaching Ollie about trust, love, forgiveness and sharing of gifts. The transition of the entire race to allow individuals to come to the surface, including girls, and return home is mind-boggling. Then again, when most of the elder population has been killed by Zadok, it isn’t all that surprising. However, I am not looking forward to the next installment to discover what happened to secondary characters of Josiah, Gabriel and whether he is able to share their new way of thinking with the rest of the tribes living below the earth.

My Thoughts
A little over a year ago, I was introduced to a debut author with a big story to tell. A story of hope, fantasy, and exciting adventures into the unknown. At the time, I didn't have any work with debut authors under my belts. I'd heard enough horror stories to leave me a bit leery. Ever potential fear, however, was completely abated upon diving into Ollie's world in Ross' Descent. I quickly took the story and devoured its' contents as one of the most unique and original novels I read in 2015. This debut novel very quickly climbed the ranks and earned a spot on my 'Best of 2014' list.
From the day I closed the back cover to Descent, I've pondered what was next for Ollie, Mateo, and the gang. What adventures would await them in their next journey? After twelve long months of waiting, Kallie Ross has relieved us all of anxiety with the release of Defend. The thrilling, heart-stopping conclusion to the Lost Tribe duology.
Picking up shortly after the conclusion of the first novel, Kallie Ross hit the ground running and didn't stop for over two hundred pages. Unlike its' predecessor, Defend has nothing to lose. It's face paced, dark, gritty, and comes with more feels than you can ever hope to handle Defend has it all.
When it comes to the plot, I won't say much. As this is such a quick-paced novel, I'd hate to give away any potential spoilers. While the story does end on a much happier ending, the 'getting there' sure isn't easy for our cast of characters. With Ross' clever use of some unique plot devices, she draws in the reader and leaves them hanging on, page after page. With so much happening, i even found myself having to reread passages to ensure I was following along. You have to keep up with this on folks, don't take it lightly. I will admit that I was a little shocked that a few things didn't happen, but I really loved the way Ross handled her story. She took the reins and steered it in the perfect direction for her audience.
I was worried the story would wrap itself up in a neat, glossy little package where every character got their happy ending. I was shocked to see that the ending really provided some surprising feelings. Character allegiances are tested and the plot twists will leave you rearing. There was a much darker theme to Defend than book one. As always, this is a risk in a YA novel, but in this case I really believe this played well into the favor of Ross. It's a true testament to her storytelling ability.
Defend did an incredible job of keeping with the characters and expanding on their personas for book two. The novel has a fairly large cast so it's easy to get confused with who is who and who may or may not be important. Thankfully, Ross did a fantastic job of keeping her main characters in focus. many times I see series with large casts where the author spends more time on secondary characters than focusing on where the story is heading. Ross' means of writing allowed for both character development and plot execution simultaneously. This is a big plus for any reader. The characters were complex. Ollie continues to channel her feelings towards Mateo (even if I was hoping she ended up with Gabriel, lol), while Alexis and Jesse really shine in their scenes. A handful of new characters added to the mix bring some much appreciated emotion to the storyline and really help to up the ante. Our sadistic villain, Zadok, was made to be much more human in this second installment. While we did see some truly evil moves from him, it was great to see his backstory and read about what really made him into a monster.
In true Kallie Ross spirit, the setting to this novel was spot-on. The noor filled underground caverns, ravaged by the effects of seismic activity have changed a lot since Ollie's first journey into the underground. Darkness, fear, confusion, freedom. Ross is able to display such a plethora of emotion and reflect upon numerous themes with her descriptive settings. I truly hope she pens the screenplay when this series is optioned for film!
With this timeless story of adventure and redemption, Kallie Ross has secured her spot on the bookshelf of our bookish pleasures. Fans young and old, and from all walks of life will be moved by Ross' gripping tale. This second installment proves that she is only beginning to hone her true talent. This reader cannot wait to see what the future hold for Ross and her career. I know I'll be first in line for all of her upcoming reads. What about you?
It should come as absolutely no surprise that I am granting Defend by Kallie Ross and incredible-well deserved, 5-star review. Ross wrote this story to near perfection and I am so proud to say that I loved it. I highly recommend this novel to any and all YA readers, fans of fantasy, adventure, and for those of you who are looking for a unique read you can share with your bookish friends. While I'm not sure if there are plans for more novels based in this world, I can tell you without hesitation that I would be downloading them if there were!

Kallie, I really hope you write another book with these characters!!
Sarah leads the group back to the underground city. They branch off with the noor leading each group in a different direction. Everyone makes it to there destinations. They are separated, Sarah is captured and beaten by her father. The kids meet up and eventually get Sarah released. In the end there is a happy ending. Read this book.
I loved the first book and this book was even better! I loved being in this underground world. The story line is so thrilling. I didn't want it to end! Great job!
I got book 1 for free. After really enjoying that book I immediately bought and read book 2. I enjoyed the characters and the constant hope they had. Most books I read don't generally have a happy ending but this book did. There's more story here. I hope the author rights book 3!
This was a satisfying read from start to finish. I loved how supported Ollie is by her friends and circle of family members, but still has the freedom to venture out alone to fight her own battles and make her own decisions. Descent and Defend are definately adventurous novels, with tales of caution and of hope that love carries laced throughout. Kallie's description of an ancient world underground were thoughtful and thorough, with a syfy-journey to the center of the earth meets old testament settlements vibe. It was like learning about a parallel universe and being able to dip my hand in to see what it felt like. I loved the concept of noor and the connection it has to its people. The love that Ollie and Mateo share grew stronger and more certain all the way to the ending AND it was a bonus to have a little Spanish sprinkled throughout the books! I will definitely be reading this series again!
