* End Times Book 2
"Continuing this post-rapture journey, this is a must-read for those looking for motivation on why we should make every effort to be about the Father's business NOW. A stunning achievement with a thought-provoking perspective on AI and the on-ramp to the Mark of the Beast. Highly recommended!" ~ Scott Townsend, RaptureKit
"The "real" Rapture is imminent! I deeply desire that as many as possible read the Untaken books. In the genre of the Left Behind series, Untaken, Too is technologically advanced, exciting, alarming. Truly compelling!" ~ Carlos B. Hall, Retired Pastor/Bible Teacher

For those not taken…those left behind.
What do you think people will go through after they are UnTaken at the rapture? This book chronicles 12 days in the lives of friends. Struggles to survive, AI, new believers trying to help. Much goes on as we follow one woman, especially, and follow her thoughts. It seems a good representation of what people may think after millions disappear. I enjoyed the book. Read past the ending!

August 3, 2024The Rapture had come, leaving Sarah Colten among the untaken. Alone and vulnerable, she had taken a brutal fall with no one to help her. It was then that Zoe, her friend from the same complex, stumbled upon her. With the aid of another neighbor, Adam, they rushed Sarah to the nearest hospital. The doctors discovered something extraordinary: Sarah had recently undergone an artificial intelligence (AI) transplant through Numen, a company linked to her now-vanished husband, Denny. This implant gave an unprecedented gift: it allowed viewers to hear what she heard and see what she saw.
Sarah's world had been turned upside down, yet her journalistic instincts remained razor-sharp. She still refused to believe the Rapture was the true cause of the disappearances. Determined to uncover the truth, she sought a follow-up interview with James, the sole survivor of a mysterious plane crash. But her resolve wavered when she found James had discovered faith, guided by Eddie, the man who had vanished beside him on the fateful flight. The realization struck her hard, the world seemed to slip further from her grasp, spiraling into a reality where she no longer felt in control.
As time passed, Sarah's unease grew. The world around her was changing, morphing into something she could barely recognize. What was once familiar now felt like a distorted reflection, a new norm emerging from the chaos. With every step, Sarah delved deeper into the unsettling mystery of the Rapture, her AI implant giving readers a front-row seat inside her tumultuous mind. The AI's objective is beyond Sarah's comprehension, as it manipulates her unknowingly until she realizes its true intent when it's already too late. Join Sarah on this harrowing journey through the first twelve days of the Rapture, where the quest for truth becomes a desperate race against the unknown.
"Untaken Too: 12 Days Following the Rapture" by CO Wyler is a riveting sequel that delves deeper into the apocalyptic world introduced in "Untaken." This book masterfully combines elements of suspense, drama, and spiritual exploration, making it a compelling read for fans of dystopian fiction and religious science fiction alike. CO Wyler's narrative continues to unfold the complex aftermath of the rapture, bringing to light the struggles and triumphs of those left behind.
"Untaken Too" excels in character development, making it a standout read. Each character is multi-dimensional, grappling with internal conflicts and moral dilemmas that make their journeys compelling and relatable. As they navigate the harsh realities of their new world, their growth and evolution are captivating. The interactions and relationships among the characters are thoughtfully crafted, adding depth and richness to the story.
Sarah, for example, is portrayed as a determined and ambitious individual who constantly strives for control. Her flaws and weaknesses are evident, and she herself is acutely aware of them. She candidly states, "You may or may not like me. Sorry if you don’t, but I am going to be me. No pretension here. And hopefully, you won’t be bothered by my strong, sometimes misconstrued as obnoxious personality." This authenticity makes Sarah a striking character, whose journey is both engaging and thought-provoking.
James, another central figure, undergoes a significant transformation. Initially a shy and respectful teenager, he evolves into a passionate advocate, unafraid to voice his beliefs and challenge Sarah. His development from a nonbeliever to a fervent speaker adds another layer of complexity to the narrative. These examples highlight the nuanced character portrayals that make "Untaken Too" a richly engaging novel.
One of the most intriguing themes in "Untaken Too" is the exploration of faith and doubt. The characters' spiritual journeys are intricately woven into the plot, providing a profound commentary on belief and redemption. CO Wyler presents these themes with sensitivity and nuance, avoiding didacticism and allowing readers to ponder their own perspectives on faith. This aspect of the book elevates it beyond a mere dystopian tale, offering a reflective and thought-provoking experience.
In conclusion, "Untaken Too: 12 Days Following the Rapture" is a captivating and thought-provoking novel that excels in its exploration of human resilience, faith, and the quest for redemption. CO Wyler's storytelling prowess and insightful themes make this book a wonderful read for fans of dystopian fiction and spiritual thrillers. Whether you are drawn to its unique plot, complex characters, or profound reflections on belief, "Untaken Too" is sure to leave a lasting impression.

I read the first book in this series a couple of years ago, but it stuck with me so that when I picked up the next in the series, I was transported right back into the action. The AI element in this book was very realistic and the author is knowledgeable about the world today and the book of Revelation. This book held my attention and kept me in the action the whole time. The ending was definitely a cliffhanger, making room for her to write more books in this series. I loved that each chapter was a new day and she followed the characters through 12 days. Highly recommend both books in this series. I read at the end of this book that the first one in the series is free for everyone, so I would encourage you to read the first and see if you're hooked to read the second like I was.

Untaken, Too
Author C O Wyler
Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The second book in the Untaken series, Untaken, Too 12 days post Rapture is an exciting and compelling sequel, in my opinion better and more gripping than the first.
Sarah has agreed to an Artificial Intelligence implant that allows viewers to hear, see, and feel all of her experiences, is she in control or being controlled?
Sarah is found by her best friend Zoey with multiple injuries after a full down her stairs.
As Sarah starts her recovery from repair surgery during the 12 days of post-Rapture, she is living in fear of the growing threat of the lawless violence, looting, and destruction of property.
I was fully engrossed in C O Wyler's incredible descriptive events of the possibility of the coming of a better peaceful world following the Pre-tribulation Rapture.
A terrifying story of the Untaken, those left behind, the unbelievers who have to deal with the devastation, the death, and the mysteriously missing.
An exceptionally well-written book with truly believable characters in visually stunning settings. I am loving this series that has me hooked, and I'm looking forward to reading book 3.

I really didn't expect to be effected so much by these books. I liked this one much more than the first one. (I gave it 4 stars.)
While I liked the first book, it was more of an introduction to the characters and their current situation. I didn't like Sarah, but the others seemed redeemable.
Now having read book 2, I REALLY don't like Sarah and I'm liking some of the other characters a lot less. I understand that they aren't meant to be the best people. (There's a reason they were "Untaken".) It's just really hard for me to read about the greed and malice towards other people in this way. Your loved ones are gone and you're more or less over it in a few days? You're worried about insurance money and status while millions are missing and thousands are dead from earthquakes and such?
Ms. Wyler writes these characters in a way that leaves me feeling stressed and disgusted. (Kudos to her for getting me to feel this strongly about a fictional book.)
I don't think it matters what your belief system is. These books are written in a way that will leave you having some sort of strong feelings about this series regardless of whether you agree with the characters choices or are against them.

So, the Rapture has happened—people vanished mid-toast, mid-traffic—and you’re still here, dodging chaos and trying to make sense of it all. Now toss in an AI implant that live-streams your every sight, sound, and feeling. That’s Untaken, Too, and it’s a wild, high-stakes dive into post-Rapture madness.
Told straight from the protagonist’s mind, the sensory detail is so vivid you can almost smell burning rubber and taste the fear. C.O. Wyler gives us twelve intense days packed with action, spiritual urgency, and just enough dark humor to make you laugh-cry in the apocalypse.
The AI voice might be helpful—or plotting something—but either way, this story pulls no punches. It’s raw, rooted in Scripture, and it doesn’t preach—it challenges. Untaken, Too made me think, squirm, and seriously reconsider giving my brain over to technology. If you like faith-based fiction with tech paranoia and a whole lot of “Wait, what in Revelation just happened?”—don’t miss this one.

What an inspiring book.
What can I say about this exceptional book that would do it justice.
It's a must read for believing Christians and its not too late to get the word out about the miracle of salvation.
Leave it out so that those not ruptured might read it and become a believer like the character James.
I had a hard time putting it down because it was dynamic and right on.
I highly recommend it and you won't be disappointed.

This is a captivating sequel to ‘UNTAKEN’ by author C O Wyler, which talks about the hours following the Rapture. The main character, Sarah is still questionable regarding the Rapture itself and the events she has been told would happen. Sarah has her own thoughts of what mayhem will happen. This is a book for Christians and Non-Christians alike.
A very captivating and well written book. The World as it is today makes this a book that should be discussed in a readers group or church group. The author put a lot of research into this book.
I give this book a definite five stars!

This is the second book in this series. The book continues to follow Sarah and friends from the first book. This really makes you think about how you would react to the rapture. There's a website with a lot of great information as well. Well written and emotional. I look forward to the next book.

Another fast paced ride to the finish and I’m left wanting more…

I’m so glad I found this series. It totally drew me in and made me think. It was really speaking directly to me. I’m hoping the series continues with Untaken 3 - the next 3 years.

Found “Untaken” very thought-provoking. It is amazing how technology has advanced since 2017. The author does a great job of including that in this book.

Untaken Too is the sequel to Untaken, which I reviewed at the start of last yar. This instalment now follows the next 12 days after the Rapture. It will help to read the first book, as well as it being a good read, although if you want to dive straight in to this one then there are in enough clues in the first couple of chapters to bring you quickly up to speed.
This whole concept just makes you think very profoundly. It is somewhat disturbing, theologically challenging and can lead your thoughts down some large rabbit holes, plus lead you to consider all sorts of conspiracy theories!
It expresses the true horror of what life might be like after the Rapture, for those left behind. People are lost and bewildered. It describes a world that quickly disintegrates into lawlessness, societal breakdown, authorities trying to cope and resorting to draconian measures as systems collapse. Self-sufficiency seems to be the only solution, but with it comes self-interest.
As all the children have been taken, it seems to trigger a world without hope, and a hopeless world is not a pleasant place to be. As all the Christians are take too, it would seem to have left behind a world with less kindness too, but this is perhaps an unfair conclusion to make.
While reading, I did find it difficult to understand how few people realised what had happened. That it was the Rapture. It may simply be that for believers it is obvious, but if they all disappeared then who would know? Those left behind are left searching for an answer without any Christian frame of reference, leaving them to clutch at even more unbelievable explanations as to what has happened.
The story has an interesting angle ...

A Captivating Post-Rapture Journey!
This is a phenomenal continuation that immerses readers in a post-Rapture world like never before. The story delves into the life of a protagonist equipped with an AI implant, offering a unique and gripping narrative that questions the boundaries of control and autonomy. The twelve days following the Rapture are depicted with such vividness and intensity that you can practically see, hear, and feel every moment alongside the protagonist.
The author has masterfully crafted a tale that not only entertains but also motivates readers to reflect on their own lives and priorities.
This remarkable work is essential for anyone interested in exploring the intersections of faith, technology, and humanity!

Untaken, Too, continues Sarah's story from Untaken. this book covers what the first 12 days after the Rapture might be like. although I don't really like Sarah I found myself rooting for her to discover the truth. This is a book that really makes you think. I suggest you read this book with an open mind and have a copy of the bible at hand to compare.
All thoughts are my own.
If you need a copy of the bible go to the You version app.

This book picks up where book 1 ends. Sarah (the main character) continues to struggle with her beliefs. There are also some darker themes in this book (drugs, guns, shooting, suicide). Overall, the second book is my favorite out of the 2. I would recommend reading book 2 (Untaken) first. I think it will help you understand the timeline and Sarah's struggles. This is a great read for both believers and nonbeliever's.

Opened my mind to new ideas
What a wonderful fiction book based on biblical end times truths. I have always had a lot of ideas very similar to ideas suggested in this story, but there was so much more in this story that is worthy of consideration and are real possibilities. We don’t know the day or hour, but it sure seems we are in the season. We need to get His word out to the lost. Is there time for a Book 3? Only God knows, but I’d sure love to read it if there is.

Couldn’t put it down!
This second in the series is a great follow up on how real God’s Word is and the downward spiral of events once the Restrainer is removed.
So much to consider for the times ahead. So choose wisely and redeem the times.

Sequels can be hit or miss sometimes but Untaken Too definitely was a hit! I found myself yet again captivated by C.O. Wyler's story and writing style. Some unexpected twists and turns kept me reading through the night! If you haven't picked up Untaken or this book, you are definitely missing out.

📚 Book Review 📚
UnTaken, Too
12 Days Following the Rapture
By
C.O. Wyler
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
UnTaken, Too by C.O. Wyler is book 2 in the End Times, After the Rapture series. This book picks up from where the first book ended and is just as compelling and thought-provoking as the first, Untaken. This book chronicles the twelve days immediately following the Rapture and describes the events of its main character, Sarah, as she tries to comprehend what has occurred to her world and how it happened. Soon after the Rapture and alone in her condo, Sarah accidently falls down her stairs, seriously injuring her leg and foot and unable to call for help. Fortunately, a neighbor and friend, Zoey, finds Sarah and with the help of another neighbor, Adam, is taken to the hospital for treatment. While in the hospital, the doctors discover that Sarah has had an AI implanted into her, and she soon finds that she can not only communicate with the AI, but she has paying viewers that can see and hear everything that Sarah does, but the extent is controlled entirely by AI. Sarah’s quest for the truth takes her in a perilous, dangerous, and deadly direction. Who can she trust and to what end is her AI’s objective?
This is a story that will have you pondering, What If the Rapture were to happen within your life-time, would I be ready? Is the Rapture real, or just a story written millennia ago by a religious cult to influence their followers? I found the author's book fascinating, with the combination of current events, religion, and artificial intelligence all intertwined, one wonders the possibilities. The story was well-written and the character development was outstanding. The relationships between the main character and the support characters evolved as the story progressed. The suspense and tension only grew as the reader found out more of Sarah’s AI implants connection and her viewers influence. This was a page-turner for me, finding the scenario both scary and unpredictable. I would highly recommend Untaken, Too and look forward to the next installment.

So in this book the Rapture has started, and Sarah, our main character from the first book has been seriously injured after falling down the stairs in her house. Her friends Zoey and Adam take her to a local hospital. En route, they notice people with guns, signaling a very frightening time. And Sarah doesn’t seem to remember the events of the previous day, which I figure must be due to her injured state. As time goes on, she gets her memory back, though…
After undergoing surgery for her broken foot and wrist, she is informed she has a device implanted behind her right ear. Apparently it’s some sort of device she had willingly implanted that can read minds…interesting and more than little bit creepy. It gives me the chills just reading it…
Sarah eventually goes home, with her friends Jeremy and Zoey helping her out until she’s well. She decides to call the lone survivor from the plane crash, a kid named James, and asks him if he’s willing to do an interview at her place. He agrees. Something about James has unnerved me since we met him in the previous book and this time does nothing to alleviate my concerns. He’s allegedly just a regular 15-year-old kid, but I have my doubts…
Sarah, James, and Jeremy go to the crash site for the interview. Then James tries to convince Sarah and Jeremy that God is very real and they must begin to take things seriously—or else! But Sarah insists he’s just being dramatic and none of what he is professing is real…
As the book goes on, you see the steadily-rising fear as the grocery shelves are suddenly picked bare and people are walking around with rifles strapped to their backs, hoarding, stealing…scary stuff that will at some point be a reality in the world….
And what is the deal with the cat Isaiah, aka “Eyes?”
All in all, this book was quite interesting, a real page turner. I’m curious to delve into the next one and see where Sarah’s story takes her.
After undergoing surgery for her broken foot and wrist, she is informed she has a device implanted behind her right ear. Apparently it’s some sort of device she had willingly implanted that can read minds…interesting and more than little bit creepy. It gives me the chills just reading it…
Sarah eventually goes home, with her friends Jeremy and Zoey helping her out until she’s well. She decides to call the lone survivor from the plane crash, a kid named James, and asks him if he’s willing to do an interview at her place. He agrees. Something about James has unnerved me since we met him in the previous book and this time does nothing to alleviate my concerns. He’s allegedly just a regular 15-year-old kid, but I have my doubts…

Untaken, Too: 12 Days Following the Rapture by author CO Wyler is Book Two in her End Times series. This contemporary Christian book is the sequel to the author’s fascinating Untaken novel. These are books for Christians as well as non-Christians.
The story of Sarah continues in this riveting book. It is interesting to read the author’s perspective on what might occur. I was astounded by the brilliant scenes and the author’s vivid imagination. The writing was inviting, and soon I was once again invested in the lives of all of the characters. It was a page-turning, let the dishes pile up read!
The characters are extremely well crafted and believable. It is obvious extensive research was done for this novel because of the details. I learned some things just from reading it. It sent me back to scripture to compare the two even though I realize this is the author’s fictional story.
This is an exceptionally well written book that has some twists and turns. Even after finishing it, I have been pondering parts of it. It definitely will make you think while reading it and long after.
I highly recommend this inspiring book and would suggest reading Book One first. A reading group would have a lively discussion with this as a selection. It receives a 5 out of 5 star rating from me. A copy was provided but these are my honest words.

Sarah Colton is back and she's still in limbo! Twelve hours after her husband's mysterious disappearance Sarah finds herself seriously hurt and unable to explain what has happened. The whole world seems to have gone mad! Has Denny been "taken" as many Christians believe, or is there another explanation? Sarah never shared Denny's Christian beliefs but was he right about the Rapture and the seven years of Tribulation that would follow? Has she been left behind? Is Sarah one of the Untaken?
Untaken, Too: 12 Days Following the Rapture is a continuation of the intriguing story that began in Wyler's first book, Untaken. The confusion, fear, and disbelief are vividly depicted, and the events portrayed are especially timely. Artificial Intelligence. End time signs. Implants. Some may consider it to be the product of Wyler's lively imagination but many more will agree that God's Word is being revealed through her fictional work!
Untaken, Too is both captivating and thought-provoking, and I believe that it would be a wonderful book club selection. Talk about interesting discussions! Fantasy....or prophecy? I urge you to read this book so that you can decide!
I received a copy of this book from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review.

I did not read Book 1 in this series, but I don't think it made Book 2 confusing.
Sarah wakes up from what she believes was a nightmare, lying on the floor at the base of her stairway. Where is Dennis, her husband?
As she becomes fully awake her memory comes back with the help of her friends. Where is everyone? Why has the world suddenly gone crazy? What is this voice in her head?
Anyone who has ever wondered what the end of the world as we know it will be like should read this book. Granted, no one knows for sure what life will be like after the Christians are all taken in the Rapture, but this book gives a pretty convincing story of what could happen.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. The opinions and comments are entirely my own.

What a powerful novel about the days following the rapture! I know it is fiction, but since it follows and mentions so many current events, it seems so plausible, especially after COVID, when so many unbelievable things did occur. In this novel the author continues to follow Sarah as she deals with not only the sudden loss of her pregnancy and disappearance of her husband, but also the changes in the world around her. I thought this book was amazing, depicting my world, but without Christians: Amazon delivers, even if the postal system does not and Alexa gives the news and turns out the lights. I highly recommend this book, and the first one, Untaken, especially if you just are not sure about where you stand with Jesus. I received a copy of this book from the author. I am freely writing a review - all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I wasn’t sure if there needed to be a book two as book one left off in a very haunting way.
But of course this gave Sarah the chance at redemption. 12 days go by since the rapture . People are grieving and questioning the loss of their loved ones. Even within a day lawlessness abides, but Sarah is still in control. At least that’s what the virtual viewer coordinator tells her.
It’s interesting to see her staunch denial that this was an act of God. Despite all those taken being believers. And even signs that said good riddance Jesus followers. But that would indicate she was wrong so she never settled on a theory of her own.
In Untaken Too You'll find:
Off griding
Ai
Unlikely friendships
A kitty

In Untaken, Too the reader discovers that Sarah has an implant which allows viewers access to her life and thoughts. She is trying to make sense of the disappearance of her husband and many others. There are several theories including a strange virus, alien abduction and the rapture. When the implant starts controlling her and telling her to kill a religious zealot for a reward of one million dollars, she has a heartbreaking decision to make. The series is thought provoking and relevant to the time we are living in with the advancement of technology. I found the characters interesting and very real. The plot is fast-paced and intense. The book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading Untaken for important background information. I'm excited to read the next book in this series.

I struggled a bit with the sequel to Untaken, possibly because I read it on my phone (tiny screen makes my eyes tired!) .
This book follows Sarah beyond the first 12 hours after the Rapture for 12 days.
I think the chaos is certainly believable, we've seen hints of it before, but something seems to be missing and I can't quite put my finger on it.
Perhaps all will be worked out in the next volume, which I will read, but certainly on a larger screen. ;)
