False Flag (Battle Ground #2) by Rachel Churcher
4.0
What can I say about False Flag other than "Ugh?" That's a good thing, though.
False Flag is book two in the Battle Ground series, but this one is told from Ketty's POV. If you haven't read book one, you probably should so the events in this one make more sense.
While a lot of the story/events are the same, they are from a different perspective, which makes it a lot more interesting. Plus, you get more of Ketty's backstory and see what her life was like prior to ending up at Camp Bishop.
Even knowing her struggles, though, I still found her to be an obnoxious power-hungry witch who did awful things because it made her feel good about herself. She's basically a big bully, and even though she believes she's working for the good guys and keeps the recruits safe at times, she's still an awful person.
I found False Flag to be a fascinating read. It was more thought-provoking, seeing how things played out from a different character's perspective. Ketty thinks doing everything the government says to do, including keeping secrets and going behind people's backs, is still the right thing. She believes Bex and her friends are honestly the bad guys (the "terrorists"), and she wants to take them down. Even after seeing what the government has done, her desire for power and a better life keeps her moving forward.
I'm super curious to see what will happen in the rest of the series, and I can't wait for the next book.
4.5 stars from me!
