I loved this book, but I can't stop thinking of what's happened to Christian. I hoped that he and Clara would end up together, but maybe she is better with tucker after all. I would like a different end for Christian, where he finds someone that loves him, and he loves this girl like he used to love Clara, so everyone will have their happy ending.

“The past few weeks held more surprises than part-angel Clara Gardner ever could have anticipated.”

For part-angel Clara Gardner, her life is never going to be normal. She leaves Jackson Hole and Tucker Avery behind to go to Stanford to keep Tucker safe from her world. With a new terrifying vision haunting Clara that once again involves Christian Prescott, she begins to realize that the Black Wings will be relentless in their pursuit of her and others like her. Clara and Christian begin preparing themselves for the battle they foresee in their joint vision while her conflicting feelings for both Christian and Tucker cause problems with Christian. When Angela reveals what is going on in her life, Clara and Christian figure out the meaning of Angela’s vision. Determined to fulfill her vision, Angela sets in motion the epic showdown between good and evil.

What does Angela’s vision pertain to and how does it intertwine with Clara and Christian? Will Clara and Christian be able to survive the events of their vision? Can Clara sort out her muddled feelings for both Tucker and Christian to choose the boy she is meant to be with? Will Clara ever be able to live the normal life she desires?

In this thrilling conclusion to the Unearthly trilogy, Clara Gardner discovers what her purpose on Earth is.

I didn't enjoy this book quite as much as I enjoyed the first two. I felt like the main character got a little too whishy washy about some things and some parts seemed to pass too quickly and be resolved too quickly while others dragged on. Despite that, I really enjoyed this series and look forward to reading more this author.

This review was posted on my blog - Feed Your Fiction Addiction.

I liked this book. A lot. I'm struggling with how to review the book without spoilers, but let me just say that fans on both sides of the love triangle (which really seems more central than any of the plot twists) will find things in this book to love - and things to hate. Clara struggles to sort out her feelings for both Tucker and Christian. And it truly is a struggle. There were many times in the book where I honestly wasn't sure which choice she was going to make. Still, I felt myself being frustrated by the extremely small role that Tucker played in Boundless. Honestly, since it had been a while since I had read the last book in the series, I found myself struggling to even remember what it was about Tucker that I loved so much. Since he only popped up in this book for short stints, I really had to rely on my memory for this, whereas the character of Christian was much better developed in the book. I would have liked a bit more balance since Clara herself was so unsure of her feelings.

As far as the rest of the plot goes, I thought that Hand gave us a satisfyingly exciting read. There were many twists and turns (a few of which I saw coming, but some that I did not) and the mystery behind Clara, Angela, and Christian's visions was unfolded slowly, but with many clues along the way. The end result was a fitting end to the Unearthly series - an end that will most likely satisfy most fans of the series and still keep them hoping for more. (Perhaps a future spin-off series? Who knows?)

Too many unanswered questions and I was not happy with ending.
