I couldn’t stand this MC.
I wanted to strangle her.

I was afraid this would happen. The first book was so exciting and filled with new ideas. This book centered on a romance that was INSANELY back and forth, while the world building took a back seat. Like all the way back. What a bummer.

The more I thought about it, the more I think I would rate this a 2.5 stars. Link to video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlTTwRVcFLU

Disappointing. I don't understand the purpose of being a 2 part series. It could have easily been one book. Since Davy gets captured by the resistance I expected this book to have more action but to be honest it was just another love story. While I do agree with many readers that the love triangle was unnecessary, I will say that I didn't mind Caden at all because I actually liked him. But at the same time I hate it when the author emotionally corrupts the main character. Caden gave her a reason to fight but Davy was so selfish. She didn't know who she wanted, what she wanted, and just wanted to sit there and feel sorry for herself. By the end of the book, I didn't think she deserved Caden nor Sean. If it was meant to be a series, it should have shown the two sides of the story. You have the Resistance group and you have the anti-resistance. Why not show how each side is important or at least come up with a better role for Davy instead of being the damsel in distress needing protection all the time. As much as she wanted to proof that she was tough and a fighter, she always fell into her princess bubble. Frankly, I'm over that and this book.

3.5 on this one I think.

Review to come.

I liked this book, but had more issues with it than I had with Uninvited. I know Davy is a teen and that teens don't always think things through and can be very emotional, but I was getting really annoyed with her in this book. She was being completely irrational about Caden. Her rants at him and about him, wore thin.

After I finish the first book I was like 'yeah this is nice' so I went into the second book and everything was completely different, it didn't even seem like the same story. But then I started to enjoy it more and more and I legit loved everything about it.

I had mixed feelings about this, video review coming soon

When I saw Caden in the blurb and not Sean.

I know quite a few people didn't enjoy book one in this series, Uninvited, but I absolutely loved it. Most people weren't happy that there wasn't an explanation provided about the HTS gene and how that is even supposed to work. But I'm the girl who enjoys superhero movies, if I was going to sit there and question the actual science behind them then I wouldn't enjoy them half as much. Sometimes you just have to enjoy the story for what it is, a piece of fiction. My review for Uninvited was really glowing, I was completely won over by all of the action, but also by the romance between Davy and Sean. So imagine my surprise when the plot summary for book two doesn't even mention Sean once. I was not happy with that and I became very nervous to start this book, especially with the mention of a new male character, I began to worry that this was going to turn into another horrid love triangle book and I was not looking forward to it.



I wish that I was able to say that I enjoyed Unleashed just as much as I did Uninvited, but I would most definitely be lying. I was so disappointed by this book and part of me really wishes that I hadn't read it and had just made up my own conclusion to this duology. We come into the story right where book one left off, Davy and the others have managed to escape the training camp and are about to make the crossing into Mexico. It's painfully obvious from the blurb that she's not going to be sticking with these guys for too long, and that happens by about page 70. Davy finds herself in trouble and is rescued by a guy who just happens to be part of a resistance cell and is going to go out of his way to save her from everything.

When I realise a books going to be ALL romance.

What I really liked about book one was the fact that the romance in it wasn't the main focus. I've said time and time again that I don't mind romance in my reads, as long as that romance only takes up a small part of the plot. Uninvited did this well, the romance was there but it was more of a slow build and wasn't the focus of the story. I liked that I couldn't put the book down because it had a lot of action to it. As Unleashed was the concluding book to the series, I assumed it would be packed full of action and I'd be reading into the early hours of the morning, unable to put the book down. I couldn't have been more wrong, this book became all about the romance. What makes that a million times more frustrating is the fact it's a completely new romance to book one. Maybe some authors can pull of introducing an entirely new love interest and get you to suddenly root for them, but this did not work here.



I liked Davy in book one, by the end she was becoming strong and didn't constantly need Sean to keep jumping in and rescuing her. I didn't like that we suddenly have a new guy show up who feels the need to constantly jump in and save her. You'd also think that being part of the group that's trying to take down the Wainwright Agency that Davy would get to play some role in this. She doesn't. Everything happens without her because she's too busy having yet another romance storyline with a guy I don't really care for. I was hoping for action, suspense and twists and turns, what I got was romance and melodrama.








I can't even begin to express just how disappointed I was with this conclusion. It had zero of what I was hoping for and just ended up making me really annoyed. Book one was really good, it was one of my favourite reads last year, and there's nothing more disappointing then when the conclusion to a series doesn't live up to your expectations. I received this book filled with excitement, so sure that I was going to absolutely love it. But, quite honestly, my feelings can be summed up in one gif:






Yay, this is going to be epic. Lets get my celebratory cake ready! Wait.... what? What? Ehhhhh, f*ck this sh*t.
