Nil Unlocked by Lynne Matson

5.0

Holy. S***. This book seriously hit me right in the feels. I CRIED at the end of this book it was so good. I knew I was going to like it because Rives was my favorite character in the first book. So when I heard he was going to be the main character in this book I was super pumped. My heart was pumping so hard as I read the last few chapters. The last two lines of the book were so perfect I couldn't even handle it. Everything about this book just made me so happy and as I said before, beat me with the feels. I shipped Rives and Skye together even before they met and I was not disappointed. They were so freaking cute together!! It was a bit of insta-love when they first saw each other, which I was okay with. I was happy that they kind of fought and argued a little bit so it didn't seem too much of a fast relationship. But seriously everything about this book was action packed and the romance was just perfect. I really didn't get why they made Keira like Rives so much, she totally just disappeared without really addressing what happened to her, not that I care, because I didn't like her very much. This book made me even like the island Nil itself that's how emotionally attached I was to it. I get the story of how it got there, with the war and stuff making it a bad place to go to, but I still don't really understand the point of it. I LOVED her uncle's journal, I was laughing so hard at some of the things he was saying. The only thing I didn't like about this book was Dex dying. I'm still hoping that he was actually alive and somehow survived but that is highly unlikely. Everything else about it was perfection. I even loved the Tiger at the beginning and end of the book, that's how good this book was. Like I said before, I was crying because I am so attached to it. I just need another book of Rives and Skye and their life together because I fell in love with their love. (Totally wishing I was Skye right now). I loved this book so much, and it is honestly up there with some of my favorites.
