So I kind of was picturing the other guy getting shot and Alex living happily ever after with the therefore uninjured guy. But unfortunately it didn't happen how I wanted (trying to not spoil things for peoples). I was kind of disappointed therefore for the ending of the actual shot teen, because they were my favorite (next to Dara). Aside from that I liked the book but it still felt a little.. easy at least for the end battle where Alex and her friends took back the town.

This book wraps up the story of the two groups that we followed in the first two books of the stranded series. I felt that the teens were acting just as they should after their varied experiences. Some changed a lot, some discovered things about themselves that they never knew, and some simply showed what they had been all along. They felt real to me. There are some books where the teens just jump on in and are already equipped for everything that happens, but these characters evolved. It was nice to watch.

The story is about the teens planning to take their town back from the thugs that took over. It was a great ending that felt realistic - yes, fairly main characters died, yes there were bumps in the plan, yes there were luckily smooth parts. It was all there, but different from most books of the same genre because it followed kids just trying to get home and protect it, not just surviving.

I loved the series - definitely worth the read.
