Praise For THE RESISTANCE SERIES
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Global pandemic YA dystopian novel! What more could I ask for!!!! Tracy Lawson is a fine writer who captures the essence of being in a global pandemic, which makes for a very interesting read this year (2020). This dystopian YA novel, the first in a series, quickly introduces main characters that are believable in their actions and decisions. The plot is more realistic than The Divergent book series, but just as engaging. I couldn’t put this book down and now I’m searching for Resist, the second book in the series. You have GOT TO READ CounterAct! Amazon reviewer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent dystopian series I loved the first book in this series so much that I jumped right into the second one to continue the adventure. "The Resistance Series" is another great YA dystopian adventure that combines elements of thriller, romance, dystopian, and much more to create a well-rounded story that is sure to appeal to many readers - it definitely has my attention.... Amazon reviewer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best in the Series So Far "Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now" -- I'm listening to Hamilton as I'm writing this review, and this line just came on. Fittingly poignant for this story. Ignite starts off right where Resist leaves off. Careen is still Careen, fighting for her survival and her freedom. Tommy Jr. is still in love with her. And the Resistance is helping the people and being blamed for causing the problems that it's actually fixing by the OCSD.
I've read and reviewed the first two books in this series and I don't normally read and review YA Dystopians (not that I don't like them, quite the opposite, I love them but I have a hard time finding one that I enjoy that feels original). Sure The Resistance Series in itself isn't all that original. It takes its queues from all good dystopians. There are parts of this that are reminiscent of 1984 all the way to parts that remind me of The Hunger Games series. When you can list a dystopian in the same sentence as these greats -- it's a pretty good series.... Amazon reviewer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Revolt is an assortment of competent, everyday people, sometimes pulling off stunts worthy of James Bond. I like the idea of modern man resisting the encroachment on his freedom that is caused by a combination of fear, obsession with control, and economic greed. This is a message I can get behind. Tracy Lawson writes this story well. The plot is solid and moves us along at a breathtaking pace. There are a lot of characters and sub-plots, but everything is easy to follow and the flow is natural and very well-paced." --Reviewed By Ray Simmons for Readers' Favorite --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
RESIST
The Resistance Series Book 2
Knowledge comes with a price.
Tommy and Careen’s eyes are opened to the Office of Civilian Safety and Defense’s abuses of power.

Being a part of the Resistance brings with it a whole new set of challenges. Tommy and Careen’s differing viewpoints threaten to drive a wedge between them, and their budding relationship is tested. Not everyone working for change proves trustworthy, and plans to spark a revolution go awry with consequences far beyond anything they bargained for.

The OCSD is poised to launch the Cerberean Link, a security device that will put all minors under constant surveillance under the guise of protecting them.
