This is not the sequel you are looking for. It's a solid book, but not when you tie it with the first. Uninvited was action and dystopian. This is . . . romance. And desperation. And if anyone else isn't happy with the ending, I don't blame you. The only thing I truly appreciated about this one was the one blip of new information we get about Tori.

Am I the only one who understands why she couldn't stay with Sean? I think introducing Caden was a fantastic idea. I loved watching Davy grow with every page and I'm glad she had Caden. To me, this was not a love triangle, she knew from the beginning she didn't love Sean anymore, she just wanted to go back to him, and her other friends to try and get her old life back.

I'm a sucker for happy endings and this one didn't disappoint me at all.

only abt 50% certain on this one but I vaguely remember the summary??

3.25 stars

2.5 stars.
Lots of eye rolling and serious disappointment. Now, I didn't think the first book was amazing, but it had some good qualities and a very interesting premise that raised a lot of internal dialogue with me as a reader. That being said I truly don't think it was necessary to have a sequel to Uninvited. Yes, it had a bit of a cliffhanger, but it left off in a way where you could let your imagination wander. I reached a point in the book where I was reading just for the sake of getting to the end. There are a number of other things I would like to say, but I don't feel like being rude.

I recommend this only for those that were really attached to Davy and want to see where the author takes her. Don't read this if you're attached to any of the other original characters...

I was actually really excited to read this book but I wound up disappointed. But not because Sean wasn't in the book a lot I must had.

The first book had an incredible premise, an interesting main character and the little bits between chapters made you more curious as the story went on. This time...they were either pointless backstory or making important plot details turn too fast. The huge plot twist near the end was pointless and these so called rebels weren't as important as they seemed they should be. Plus the ending...it's like Jordan forgot that they were supposed to be teenagers at the end even if a year later they would be adults technically. It was just ugh.

Definitely not a good read even if some of the rebel stuff could have been really interesting.

Like the duology - [b:Dualed|13401993|Dualed (Dualed, #1)|Elsie Chapman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1350438849s/13401993.jpg|18633835] and [b:Divided|18135199|Divided|Livia Jamerlan|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1376305256s/18135199.jpg|25373740] or the standalone [b:Scored|10476572|Scored|Lauren McLaughlin|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328208952s/10476572.jpg|15381919]. This book (Can't quite remember what happened during [b:Uninvited|1720099|Uninvited|Amanda Marrone|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1349070811s/1720099.jpg|1717464]) doesn't focused more on the rebellion/rebels but focused more on how the main character (in this book's case: HTS carriers) survive or rather how would Davy survive after being separated from Sean and co. Again another romanc-y dystopia kinda getting tired of it, already.

Davy has spent the last few months trying to come to terms with the fact that she tested positive for the kill gene HTS (also known as Homicidal Tendency Syndrome). She swore she would not let it change her, and that her DNA did not define her . . . but then she killed a man.

Now on the run, Davy must decide whether she'll be ruled by the kill gene or if she'll follow her heart and fight for her right to live free. But with her own potential for violence lying right beneath the surface, Davy doesn't even know if she can trust herself.


I saw mixed reviews about this book. It seemed there were more negative than positive, but since I loved first book, I decided to check out. I wanted to see what happened with Davy next. I wasn’t disappointed, another break taking story. I didn’t understand what others seemed to complain about this book, I enjoyed Unleashed even more than I loved Uninvited, there wasn’t a single page in the book that I didn’t love. I am actually sad that it came to end, I loved all the characters and going to miss them all. I feel like I got to know them so much more, especially Davy, to me she was the one characters that changed most since the first book. Davy became stronger, and actually accepted what she was, finding a place where she belonged, what she could call home.

Davy & Caden: I liked Sean and Davy together, but after I saw how Caden and Davy were with each other, I came to realization that what Sean and Davy had wasn’t love. I loved Caden right from start, how can you not? Despite almost killing him when she first saw him, there was connection between the two of them from start, that her and Sean didn’t have, a connection that she was too stubborn to see. It was obvious how much he cared about her, by way that he tried to protect her. He loved her, even before he said it. Otherwise why would he ask her to stay on multiple times? I hoped that she would. It was where she belonged. I was rooting for them through entire book. The two of them belong together.

Unleashed was more action packed in first part of book, then second. Unleashed seemed bit more romance packed then first book was, but I didn’t mind it. It’s reason I believed that Caden and Davy belong together, I loved reading the scenes between two of them, there were so many emotions out there. To me, this book was filled with more emotions than the first one, and I felt like I could feel them all, like all of the characters did. I felt their sadness, anger, fear, hope. It was as if I went along on the journey along with them. Connected with everyone.

Uninvited series was a great experience, an unexpected journey. A series that I was glad to check out, a series I am sad to come to end. A book you will find yourself thinking a long after you finish it.

4.5
A little slow at first, but when it picked up it was just as fast paced as the first book. I was kind of shocked that the love interest changed from the first book, so then I thought it was headed in the love triangle direction. Thankfully it didn't and I ended up loving Caden. Some directions the story line went felt kind of silly to only end up back in the same place, only with the characters having changed from this quick situation. I guessed the plot twist of who the traitor was, but I was more disappointed with the reason for the betrayal. It really wrapped up this series, which also surprised me since I thought it was going to be at least a trilogy, but things felt resolved and really no need for another book. I would like some more insight though it the testing and science of HTS.

Teacher Notes: Could easily be related to real historical events and/or used in a dystopian unit study.

It wasn't what I was expecting and I both loved and didn't love it equally.
