This review is based on enjoyment rather than literary merit. This book kept me reading until 3am on a work night because I was so invested in what happened to the characters (mainly Warner, though, realistically). It was tense and suspenseful. If you can get over the complete in total shift in the plot of this series--it really felt like book four started a different series--then it's worth a read. Or maybe I'm just in love with a fictional man. Either way.

This one was alot heavier than the previous books of the series in my opinion, with the content delving into multiple deep topics and introducing revelation after revelation. I loved Kenji's pov within this book and I can't wait to see how his relationship with Nazeera grows. Although I find it annoying that Anderson doesn't stay dead, I understand how it would tie into the plot due to the consequences of Sonya and Sara's capture. I also think that Evie's death was too quick and that it was too easy for Ella to roam the facility.
