Undone (Unknown Trilogy Book 3)

A stunning conclusion that had me on the edge of my seat
Undone was a stunning conclusion that had me on the edge of my seat! I kept hoping that all of those that I loved would get their happily ever after, even though the odds were stacked against them. And in this final book, there was a completely different element that didn't appear in the previous two books. We alternated views between Amber and her best friend Remy. And let me tell you, while I loved Remy, I couldn't believe that I became just as obsessed with her. I loved that they each added a different view of what was happening in the world. It made this story that much more emotional and I felt as though the stakes were even higher.But before I can talk about anything else, I have to say that I absolutely loved Amber and Rylen together!! Thank goodness they finally took that step and found some happiness in the bleak world that surrounded them. And now that we got to see all sides of Rylen, I fell even harder for him. He was so passionate, in control and sooooooo sexy. The scenes of them together, in Undone and Unrest, was scorching hot! But underneath it all, I loved that their relationship was based on the most beautiful friendship. Their love truly encompassed it all! So of course I was scared any time they weren't together or when they went on missions together. My heart was in my throat hoping that they would stay safe and alive!This book had a ton of action that had me flipping through the pages as fast as I could. But at the same time, there was also some slower, heartfelt moments. It all meshed together so perfectly and made the pace feel just right. While there were moments of horror and sadness, I easily found strength in Amber and Rylen's love for one another and the friendships that surrounded them. But I wish I could have said the same for Remy. While my heart hurt for Amber and Remy in different ways, I was beyond terrified with the hell Remy found herself in.Remy had been captured at the end of Unrest, and was taken to the aliens compound in Nevada with Tater and Linette. They found themselves prisoners, well more like slaves. Not only were they worked to the bone, but the aliens flipped their world upside down. Family units no longer existed. Touching no longer existed. And if anyone wanted to rebel in any way, then they would either die or have the worm *shudders*. It felt as though I was constantly holding my breath, frightened with what was going to happen next to Remy, Tater and Linette. But there was one element I never even considered, since I didn't read the synopsis. And that was Remy's interaction with the enemy's leader.We witnessed Remy interact with those monsters. And while the majority of them were easy to lump into the enemy category, they weren't all like that. I hated seeing those shades of humanity in the few aliens we become close with, because then I felt guilty wishing for their annihilation. And that's exactly how Remy felt too. But then it got taken up a level when Remy started to feel something towards their leader. I felt as though my emotions were being torn in different directions and that my brain was a convoluted mess. Especially when I thought about Tater, ugh.But before I wrap up my thoughts, I have to say that I did have three issues with this book. The first was that there was a scene that was a mesh of two scenes from Independence Day. I've seen that movie probably a hundred times, so it stuck out very clearly in my mind. The second issue was that there was a discrepancy between book two and three (view spoiler on blog). And my third issue was that the epilogue left me desperately wanting to know so much more. Yes we got a fabulous closure, but there were so many questions hanging in the air for me like (view spoiler on blog). So while these three issues made me remove a half a star, this series is still going down as one of my favorite dystopian series ever . Don't let this paragraph deter you, I just wanted to give a heads up.So a huge yes, I definitely recommend this book to dystopian and Wendy Higgins fans! It was full of action, love, friendship, and heart stopping moments. Plus it had the most amazing book boyfriend ever. You have to meet Rylen! He was fierce, protective, loyal, seductive and definitely sexy! I'm so glad I read this trilogy and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some day down the road we'll get a peak at this world and characters again. I already miss them!

Overall really enjoyed.
Spoiler alertOverall I enjoyed the differing perspectives of Remy and Amber. Remy's character development was colorful and true. Her internal battle was one of heart, compassion, courage under pressure, and strength.Amber's character did very little for me in this book. I believe that was part of the appeal. Her character had fully formed and overcome. She found her strength - her place and was thriving even under apocalyptic doom. Her relationship with Rylen was at it's peak. I was happy with the understated and comical nuptials.The ending for me was a very good mimicry of Independence Day. Just add in a parachute and subtract Jeff Goldblum . Voila alien ships demobilized globally. It was a lot flat for me. It was a fun read regardless of the stagnant final battle. Anyone familiar with GOT understands the anticlimactic aspects of an unfulfilling final battle scene.I do like the neat little bow of the epilogue.

Great series. Not depressing
I was worried when I first started this that it would be too depressing and glad to say I was wrong. I love the characters and their development and complexity and there was enough light and dark next to keep you on the edge of your seat but also not go overboard into the depressing category at all.Despite the apocalyptic circumstances with most of the worlds population dead I would still say this has an HEA type ending which made me feel satisfied and warm.Steam level: this is an adult series and There are some steamy scenes scattered through the series.

If you like realistic apocalyptic, sci-fi, and romance above all, then I highly recommend the Unknown trilogy!
Wow that was one hell of a conclusion. I was not expecting what just happened and I may be a little in shock, because let’s be real honest here, alien invasion is a terror of mine! This book might have been a tad too realistic. Yeah, I may have had some bad dreams – because ahhh ALIENS! Of course with it being a fear of mine, I try to consume all the media I can to help me prepare and Undone will give you some really good ideas on how to fight back!As the other two books had some down time, scene setting, background and all, this book is jammed packed with action from start to finish. The tension was off the hook. This whole book had my chewing my lip! There’s also some really steamy hotness. Like just perfect sweet love…and a whole lot of lust!After everything they have all be through, book 3 picks up right were the last left us dangling on that cliff. I was thrilled there wasn’t an immediate jump in time, and I was floored over what was to come. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.I was also pleasantly surprised how much I loved the addition of Remy’s point of view, since she is no longer with Amber. With the core characters split it was really important to have that second POV. I felt so horrible for what Remy was going through. I can’t even imagine how she held up as well as she did, even though she was clearly extremely stressed throughout. Plus her and the Senator was really intense. Hell all of Remy’s scenes were really intense.If you like realistic apocalyptic, sci-fi, and romance above all, then I highly recommend the Unknown trilogy!

Brilliant ending
Wow the Siri was completely different from what I normally read but it was amazing, just spectacular and though I'm sorry to see it end I'm also glad at the same time as nobody wants an Alien invasion to continue. Our heroes have battled and blead for their survival and what a journey it was. Such an amazing series 👏

A fantastic sci-fi read
A great nail butting end to a fantastic trilogy. I loved sharing the journey with this amazing and diverse group of characters. They take a place in your heart and grab onto your hope as they battle to stay alive, stay together and fight for the salvation of the human race. Well done Wendy. Fantastic series.

I remember not being to excited about that the first time around and in the beginning I felt the same. Not because I didn't like it but because I was so anxious to see what was going on with Rylen and Amber. But it does add some insight to the other side of this war. It was interesting to read.What is this book about:This book picks up where the last one ended. Amber and the others had to evacuate from their base. Linette, Tater and Remy didn't make it to the plane and are captured by the enemy.Things are uncertain for Texas Harry, Devon, Sean, Matt, Mark, Josh, Rylen and Amber. They are trying their hardest to fight back and keep hope alive.In the mean time Linette, Tater and Remy are trying to figure out how to survive amongst the enemy and to find a way to help our side win the war. Sacrifices will have to be made...but will it be worth it in the end?What did I like/love:I love the steps Rylen and Amber took in their relationship. They are great together. And it was about time as well.I loved seeing everything come together. There was allot of buildup through out the series. In the end the final battle was over rather quickly but it got the job done.Overall I just really liked this book. I liked how everything turned out and how the group was interacting with each other. They where all great together.This series had allot of suspense as well. I really think they would make a great movie or series. Its still one of the best apocalypse/ dystopia/ invasion series I've read so far.What did I dislike/hate:/Rating:5 it was amazing stars
