The Delphi Resistance is the second book in The Delphi Trilogy (The Delphi Effect was the first book) by Rysa Walker. I think if you haven't read the first story you'd be able to follow the plot OK after a few chapters, but please don't, you'll regret not having experienced what the characters have thus far gone through. I was given an early copy to review.

Anna is on the run from the leader of the Delphi Project who wants to capture her and the other Delphi adepts in order to use them as weapons. These troubled teens barley know how to control their own powers and now they are expected to help younger people who are just now learning. Gifted children are continuing to vanish and information about the secret Delphi Project is beginning to go public. Will Anna and her friends be able to outsmart these government killers? Who can they trust as their world is turned inside out?

The Delphi Resistance is the second book in The Delphi Trilogy. The events portrayed occur in the near future and readers will find themselves wondering if these conditions are already available to be exploited. The man hunt is intense and Walker has weaved a more complex storyline into her already complicated world. This is a second book and it assumes the reader has finished the original story. Although this account has some elements that are wrapped up, there are many unanswered questions that will need to wait for the final installment.

The Delphi Resistance by Rysa Walker is the second book of the Delphi Trilogy.

This YA sci-fi/fantasy series follows Anna, a troubled young girl with the gift of being able to communicate with ghosts in a rather odd way, They take over her body. One of the ghosts is a young girl who needs Anna's help to investigate her murder and help other potential victims. Anna and a group of her friends begin to investigate and in doing so unearth a government experiment.

Now in the Delphi Resistance, Anna and the rest of her group are on the run from the leader of the covert operation known as the Delphi Project. Anna along with a new ghost, and the group are searching for others that have been affected by the project like themselves to hopefully bring them together to help deal with their abilities.

It is a fast paced adventure with many paranormal aspects which I loved and I eagerly await the next part. This could be read as a stand alone novel but works better if you read them in order as you get to know the characters much better. Would highly recommend.

Another strong entry in this series. As other reviewers have mentioned, it's not a series where you can jump right in from the second, but this is not one of *those* second books.

While it can't stand alone, it's also not just a bridge between "the interesting things happening in book one" that hypes us up for "the interesting things that will happen in book three". There's plenty of story here and even some resolution.

It's still pretty grim - if you have young adults reading this it's worth noting that we are still occasionally dealing with traumatised juvenile murder victims, and not just murder but torture and/or forcible mind control. It's not as explicit this time around but the references are there. And honestly - it's like that moment in The Incredibles for me. These are bad guys, who won't go easy on them because they're children. They will use them, or they will discard them, and that means death is absolutely on the table. It's real stakes that actually ring true.

I'm definitely looking forward to the next book, and thank you to the publishers and Netgalley for a review copy of this one.

The Delphi Resistance by Rysa Walker is the second book of the Delphi Trilogy. This series is a young adult science fiction fantasy read that involves many different elements in the story such as clairvoyance, psychic abilities, telekinesis and on and on. In the first book of the series readers were introduced to Anna Morgan who had spent her life bouncing from home to home with some time out on the streets in between ever since she was abandoned as a toddler with a note claiming she was possessed. As Anna got older she had since learned she had an unusual ability to pick up ghostly hitchhikers. If she came across a restless spirit and touched whatever object they were hanging onto she ended up with them inhabiting her body which could sometimes become a struggle for her to keep control herself.

When Anna had picked up the spirit of Molly, a young girl that was brutally murdered, Molly had done her best to convince Anna to contact her grandfather who had been a policeman. Molly was tormented by the fact that her killer was involved in human trafficking and will most definitely be hurting other young women unless Molly could get Anna to help stop him. Anna getting in touch with Molly’s grandfather led her to team up with a group of teens that found out about the Delphi experiment by the government that gave these kids differing powers with a whole dangerous outcome for the group while they were investigating.

Now The Delphi Resistance picks up the story shortly after the ending of the first book in the series The Delphi Effect. Anna and the rest of the group have gone on the run from Graham Cregg, leader of the covert operation known as the Delphi Project. Anna has also picked up a new hitchhiker, someone close to her and her group and for now is keeping him a secret as they try to bring down those that were involved in the Delphi Project. The group is also searching out others that have been affected by the project like themselves to hopefully bring them together to help deal with the abilities.

This series is one that I would highly recommend starting at the beginning and not jumping in at this second book or the set up and action that have led to the events in this book would probably not make much sense to a new reader. It’s an extremely action packed adventure from start to finish with numerous paranormal elements along with some science fiction mixed into an intense thrill ride. I was completely hooked into the story from early on in the first book and that feeling perked right back up when sitting down with the second. This is also another that as soon as I was finished I longed to have the next book in my hands immediately and will be impatiently awaiting the next in the series.

Overall, I certainly would recommend this series to the young adult book fans out there as it’s full of lots of fun elements that are incorporated into a highly intense plot to keep one on the edge of their seat wondering what will come next.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Took me a few chapters to warm up to the book and then got hooked as if Daniel had his hooks into my brain. Can't want to read what Anna, Aaron, and Taylor go through next. Is Madga who she is? What will happen why Myron breaks though, because he will!

Walker never disappoints. I eagerly awaited Book 2, which picks up where we left off, and I was excited to find it as good if not better than the first. You definitely need to read the series in order or you will be missing out. Anna is a terrific character, and the supporting team including Aaron, Deo. Taylor, Jaydan and Daniel are just as well fleshed out. The alternate not distant future is eerie considering how different the climate is from when the book was being written.
