Tooth and Nail
When the world falls, a Boston college lab is sealed off to protect its classified research. Along with two brilliant scientists. After an eventual rescue, their escort is mauled by undead ‘hunches’. But the girls find themselves only circled, sniffed, and ultimately left alone…
Two years later, a distress signal brings newly promoted NYQZ guardsman Thomas Wylde to Salem—a place known for death and horror since long before society’s collapse. Thomas doesn't trade lives, but can he bring his mission and his own family home safe, or will the sins of the past come back to bite them?

This is book 3 of the Continuum series. Just like books 1 and 2 the book is divided into Sets/Episodes and each Set/Episode consists of multiple chapters. Episode 1 contains chapters 1-8, Episode 2 contains chapters 9-16, etc, etc. this book is wayyyyyy longer than books 1 or 2 and I thought they were long at around 75-80 chapters each. This book clocks in at 126 chapters. Yep. You read that right. 126. No one read sitting here. I also noticed that this book has some content warnings listed that I didn’t notice in the other books. Maybe they had them and I just didn’t notice. The warnings for this book are Graphic Violence, Rape/Sexual Assault, Addiction, and Smoking/Substance Abuse. For some reason I was thinking this was the final book in the series but based on the ending, I am not really sure…..
There’s so much going on in this book. I found myself getting a little confused at times and having to go back to look at the dates at the beginning of some of the chapters since there’s a lot of past vs present. I was very surprised by some of the revelations of the how’s and whys. I don’t think I’m a big fan of Sabrina to be honest. I understand why she did what she did but it didn’t exactly endear her character to me.
I enjoyed the ending (the actual chapter ending). It finally closed the circle for Maverick and Thomas.
A few spoilers even though I try not to give them:
The Epilogue confused me a bit since I felt like we were kinda starting over. It also ending in a way that another book could be on the horizon. What I didn’t like - Beckham leaving and not saying goodbye. Kennedy not coming back. And not knowing if Richie and Quinn were going to be together.

Love these characters!
Heartfelt new addition to the series. I loved seeing Thomas' and Maverick's growth from the last book. And that ending!

Mayhem to the max, and some well developed antagonists to go with it. Every new entry only makes me recommend this series even more!

I thought that this was the best book in the series so far. I really enjoyed reading this one. I enjoyed Beckham’s character. Highly recommend reading this!
