The majority of this book is just filling in gaps for Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home. It would probably be more enjoyable as a tandem read because you already know how the story goes so there’s nothing really new or surprising.

Daisy is an absolute badass though and I am here for it. Loved seeing the softer side of Christian (and Julian).

The development of Daisy's and Magnolia’s relationship is the hero of this book for me. Was so nice to see Magnolia be able to help and support Daisy despite how guarded Daisy is around her.

The final two chapters are heart wrenching, which all MPU books seem to be.

Daisy Haites: The Great Undoing is the 4th book in the Magnolia Parks Universe series. Daisy has moved out of The Compound with her brother and is now living on her own. She’s trying to live the normal life she desperately wants, and that includes dating sexy NCA agent Killian Tiller.  She’s also on year 3 of med school. She often thinks of Christian and that leaves her conflicted about her relationship with Tiller. Not to mention that she misses her brother Julian, even though they are mad at each other at the beginning of the book.

This fourth book really ramps up the angst and drama, as well as the suspense.  Jessa Hastings has successfully woven together elements of the third book in the series The Long Way Home and this book into a action packed ending. Can’t wait for the next book!

My only complaint is that there are certain phrases that get over used: jaw goes tight, squint, sniffs a laugh, eyes go round, etc that gets used way too frequently. It reminds me of Jennifer L. Armentrout’s  uses of some words and/or phrases. It got frustrating to read and took me out of the book. That’s why I couldn’t give it a full 5 stars.
