DNF I’m sorry to say after putting my heart on the line for this series it was just ripped from me too many times and after a while it lost its shock factor and gave up actually caring about the characters.

I liked this better than the middle book, and I think it was a good finish to the series. I really liked the consistency of the covers for the three books. This had a few twists and turns, kept my interest but I'm not sure how much this book, or the trilogy, will stick in my memory.

This is Gray's final chapter - and thank goodness. He's decided on a girl (Bree) and is now actively pursuing her, but she's in feminist-mode (doesn't need no man). The group is now moving to go against the Order lead by Frank the big bad guy. OooooOOooooh. The dude gets caught and held by the Order way too much - it seems like this is a constantly repeating game of catch and release. He's caught, he escapes - he's' interrogated, he's him, wash, rinse, repeat. This book has three acts (almost) - they seem like completely different story lines. Getting into a water plant to see what is there under the direction of the Order. Then Gray getting caught and pulled apart by the Oder through torture. His brother and Emma (gag) are with him. Blaine is killed by Gray's evil doppelgänger. Then them planning and executing the actual take over. Good thing? Adian is adorable and PTSD aspects were handled well, realistically and appropriately. That's about it.
I didn't like it - at all. The characters were boring, most deaths seemed pointless and did nothing for the main character, like Blain's death. The main character is irredeemable. He does things that make no sense. IDIOT.

I honestly just got so tired of it. People dying and then not being dead but then getting killed again. Over and over. It was a twist the first time it happened. (A predictable twist but still a twist) But the 5th time? It just doesn't work anymore. I also hate Gray. And Bree. And Emma. And Blaine. And every single other character. In the end, I just got tired of hearing them talk. They're all whiny and obnoxious and if I somehow got stuck with them in their stupid rebellious team, I would have killed them all in their sleep. (I'm aware I'm being dramatic. I'm sorry. I'm just salty that I wasted so much time trying to make this book work.)
