Don't miss the much-anticipated sequel to Recon!
When Harper discovered the truth about Bid Day, she inadvertently painted a target on her back. Now Constance, the infamous espionage unit, wants her and her friends kept quiet at all costs. She and Eli are being sent out into the Fringe, where they’ll face damaging radiation, violent gangs of survivors, and be forced to fulfill Recon’s sinister duty.
After her first deployment goes bad, Harper is racked with guilt and paralyzed by fear. Out there, it’s kill or be killed, but the real danger is inside the compound. Eli is determined to protect Harper, but that means tearing down the walls he’s worked so hard to build.
The only way to avoid a brutal death on the Fringe and escape Constance’s control is to flee to a neighboring compound. Eli wants to risk it all for Harper, but to choose her, he’ll also have to give up his only connection to his past.

Meh. There's a growing mystery surrounding the compounds, but honestly it took me FOREVER to finish this because none of it really grabbed me. There's lots of elements I should like, but it just sort of falls flat. None of the characters are all the compelling. The world isn't as scary as it should be. I just don't FEEL it. And the timeline seems very off. Eli talks about mugging people when he still lived in the Fringe as a gang member and all the guy had was some credit cards in his wallet. Seriously? This was supposedly years after the nuclear war and people in the Fringe are scraping by without an infrastructure or electricity and yet people are still carrying credit cards? In the first book, he talks about how he was brought into the compound at about 15ish and Harper was brought in as a baby, and apparently he remembers her when they were in the orphanage together at some point. Yet Harper is maybe 18ish and he's 25ish when the story starts. Then in this book, he mentions that Harper was brought into the Compound after him. Huh? It was as if the author either forgot her timeline, or she didn't like the idea of a 30 something dating an 18 year old.And the timeline of the nuclear war/s is funny. There's maybe 3-4 generations of people in the Compound as I can figure, so maybe 50 years since it was officially bad outside, yet Eli seems to remember the world how it was before the war/s? How would he know? His parents could have told him things but he'd have no personal memories until afterwards.
Just really frustrating when added to the fact that the characters are just all frustratingly unclear.

Exposure The Fringe Book 2 eBook Tarah Benner Reviews
The second book in the Fringe series picked up where book one left off. And it does not disappoint. Harper and Eli are trying to survive in this new world and having to rely on each other, even though both are reluctant to do so.
This book tells the story of Harper's first trip out into the Fringe and what happens after this trip, which ends badly for her and Eli. You learn a lot more about the world outside of the compound and about exactly what Harper, Eli and the rest of the Recon operatives are expected to do while out in the world. It's not a lighthearted novel. It's not for the faint of heart. It's also not a teen novel. Parts are hard to read. But, once gain, Tarah Benner stays true to her characters and gives the reader a great story.
I initially hesitated to read this because I was tired of dystopian YA novels, but this series has grabbed my attention. I love the near future sci-fi feel of this, and the idea of people surviving after a nuclear war. The story revolves around Eli, a military-type tough guy with a soft spot for Riley, one of his cadets. They are forced to leave the compound and go out on the Fringe, by a powerful woman who wants them both dead. Fortunately, they are both tough as nails and have friends they can count on. I love that Riley is a strong female character. Her reaction when she is forced to kill a drifter is powerful and thought provoking. If you enjoyed the Wool series and/or the Hunger Games, I highly recommend this book. If you're thinking about a foray into dystopians, this is a great series to start with.
The most significant thing I can tell you about Exposure and its predecessor are that I could not put either book down until finished. And I'd like to be reading Book 3 right now.
The thing I enjoy most about Tarah' s writing craft is her ability to both move the story forward and world build compellingly using primary dialogue and POV. And I like the characters she has created very much, including the ones I love to hate.
The downside to this craft for me, and the reason for the 4 instead of 5, is that I found myself impatient more than once. Impatient for more answers, impatient for faster development of the relationships(I mean come on, WE can see what's going on), and impatient with repeatedly being shown the personality traits of the characters.
Much of that is me and not the writing. As the author points out it is necessary for the characters to go through this growing self awareness and like parents we have to just watch it happen. Which tells you I'm an older reader, too. I do think there could have been some judicious editing.
I also like that the emphasis in both books is not really on the Factions so much as in similar works but on the relationship between society and the transition into the future.
I eagerly await book 3.
**DISCLAIMER-I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this novel. However, after finishing, I also purchased a copy because I want to be able to support authors I enjoy so they can afford to write more of what I want to read!**
This book took everything that happened in Recon (Fringe Book 1) and upped it by another order of magnitude! More excellent plotting, dialogue, and characterization just like in Recon. A bit of a shift here, though, as a warning A lot of the plot takes place out in the Fringe, so there is a lot of Eli and Harper. Sawyer takes the biggest leap in growth of all the secondary characters and I'm looking forward to see what she does in Book 3. One great thing that Benner does in her novels is to incorporate reality into her characters, scenes, and environment. Example The fight scenes and description of the dead level-read the book!-and its concept and usefulness are terrific. If you read her afterword, you'll see that she isn't just making things up to suit her needs; she's done the research. A standout among post-apocalyptic/dystopia offerings, start reading this series now before all your friends tell you about the 'great new author' they found!
