Synopsis:

USA Today and New York Times bestselling author, Wendy Higgins, brings you the gripping, sensual conclusion to her apocalyptic trilogy.

Amber Tate never dreamed their heart-wrenching escape from the enemy’s attack would lead them to the most beautiful place she’s ever seen, marred by one ugly fact; it’s under enemy control. Like everywhere else in the world, Elmendorf military base in Alaska has been captured, and it’s time to take it back—all of it—one base, one city at a time. After losing so much, Amber clings to the only precious person she has left, and vows to sacrifice everything to help save the Earth.

Remy Haines is a lover, not a fighter, so when she finds herself in enemy territory, expected to feign allegiance while gathering intel for the rebel cause, she’s never been more out of her element. Tensions only increase when her feelings for Jacob “Tater” Tate won’t go away, and the enemy’s leader takes an interest in her. She’s torn between what her heart wants, and what she knows she should do. As for what her body needs…well, it’s always had a mind of its own.

Review:

Wendy Higgins has done it once again!! She has delivered an utterly perfect ending to a fantastic series. The Unknown series has quickly become one of my favorite series as it is unique, interesting, and just so much fun! I have no idea how Wendy Higgins came up with the idea for this trilogy but I'm very glad she did because it sucks you in from the get go, and this book is certainly no exception. I was eager to read this novel, especially after the ending of Unrest...suffice to say I was over the moon when I found out that I received an advanced copy. 

This novel picks up right where Unrest left off, and the story hits the ground running. Seriously, this book is action-packed and goes full force from the first page until the very last sentence. Told in alternating perspectives from Remy and Amber, we see two different perspectives of the same world. I loved that Wendy did this because it added a more complete element to the story. We needed to read from Remy's POV to see what it was like in the DRI camp and the scary things she faced every day. But we also needed to continue our journey with Amber to see how she would cope with the not only the capture of her best friend, but also her brother. 

Amber is such a strong character and just like in the previous novels, I loved reading her perspective. She has come so far over the course of the three books, and I really enjoyed seeing who she became by the end of the story. I will never tire of her and Rylen's love for each other, and let's just say there are some very interesting developments in their relationship in this book. Remy too has changed a great deal since the first book, and I loved watching her find her own in this book. She didn't have anyone to rely on except herself and she survived in the only way she could.  And despite everything that was going on at the camp, she didn't let the aliens change her in the most important ways.  Remy remained the kind and compassionate person she has been from the start! 

I highly recommend reading this book as soon as it comes out because you will not be disappointed!! Wendy Higgins delivers yet another hit that is full of action, exciting twists and turns that you will never see coming, and a bittersweet ending that will leave you with a gigantic smile on your face. I can't wait to see what she writes next!!

Happy reading :)
