What I lost, I can't get back. No matter how hard I try, it's just not possible. I lie awake at night as I cry over what was stolen from me. Even when I finally fall asleep, I dream about him. He's everywhere and nowhere at the same time. He's what you would call unforgettable. Irreplaceable. He was my everything and now I have nothing. So I thought.

Conned

The blurb on this book gives you no indication that it is about when Tate got shot and Missy dreams for the whole book that he died. I feel like I have just read the episode of Dallas where Pam dreamt that Bobby had died then finds him in the shower. I feel like I have been conned into buying a book.

I received this book when I purchased the entire 8 book set after reading the first 5 books individually. It was cheaper to read the rest of them for this price. It is a 65 page novella about Missy and Tate. I am so glad I did not pay for this book and really didn't read it once I found out the entire thing was a dream. I started reading this and I was like whoa! WTF? This isn’t what happened so I read a few reviews and found out it was all a dream. Authors need to remember your readers are invested in your characters and to put this type of book out just makes me angry. Zero stars!

Missy

Another amazing short read from the amazing Shantel. Anne it's surely a nail biter!

We get more insight on Tate and Missy. Now I'm ready to dive into Parker's story!!!!

5 Unforeseen Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Considering this is such a short book I was really rocked emotionally by this, I have added this to my dark read 2016 list but in this its mild.
Really loved Tate his real dominant ways but boy what an arrogant arsehole........Missy is a beautiful soul and at times I thought started to become a bit of a pushover and didn't enjoy seeing that and I really felt for her

I truly felt the devastation in the characters and the links between them all, the writing is genius really didn't fucking see that coming and wow such emotion inducing at that one point of realisation. I'm can't say much more without letting spoilers out just know it's a phenomenal short read

I'm disappointed.

If you are buying this box set to read the book Unforeseen alone, then do not waste your money. Yes, it was packed with emotion but it is mostly reliving parts of Missy and Tate's story that we have already seen before. Considering how short the book is already, it just feels like a rip off to pay for something like this.

P.S: if you are buying this box set to read the whole series then it is definately worth it.

What happens if Tate didn't survive?

“The future is unforeseen, Missy. You can’t change what’s already meant to happen.”

This is what happens to Missy if Tate never survives being shot. There is Missy heartbroken and depressed, she doesn't know how to move on from the grief. Tate is gone and everyone tries to survive the best way they know how. This novella gives a glimpse into a different scenario of the bakery from Tate and Missy's story. I'm being honest but the epilogue was the best. Missy was so extra even more so than in her book. Plus Tate was missing and l love him so the story felt lacking. I am a big Shantel can but I didn't love this one. Could have done without this novella.

I didn't like this one. It was emotional, for sure, but large portions were borrowed from other books in the series, and the fact that the entire thing is just a bad dream didn't sit well with me at all. You want to do that? Fine. But do it BEFORE the reader knows the outcome of the story. This is all from Missy's POV and takes place DURING her and Tate's story, which makes it very confusing when you try to get the timeline right in your head. I only gave it 2 stars because it made me feel more than all the other books combined.

This book is a “throwback” to when Tate got shot.. much of it is a repetition of episodes described in Unforgettable (copy paste style)😅 the rest was sad and confusing (except the ending) 😅
I was really confused for the first part of this book 😵‍💫🫠 I was like ‘that’s not what happened!!!’. Then it suddenly made sense 🙄🤦‍♀️ 😅😂
Anyway.. it was ‘fine’ to get this short little throwback into Tate and Missy’s love story - but I could have done without it 😅 it was quite frankly a bit redundant and unnecessary..
I feel like it was just some kind of warmup to Parker’s story

Ummmm yea...

So...I wasn't expecting this at all. I was actually crying. Real tears. I thought for a minute this was a short spinoff, alternate ending. And.. I was so upset with myself for starting it, but because I had already started it, I couldn't stop reading it. Well, I'm glad I didn't. Whew! Thankfully, it all worked out and they turned into happy tears! I really love Tate's character! ❤️

Seriously, I didn't know how much more of this I could take. My heart ached the entire time as if I were in her shoes. While I loved seeing a very different side to Parker, I didn't love the cost it came at. Glad to know it was all a dream, or nightmare.

so this book was short but still amazing! so many feels. it plays out in missys dream of how she feels if things happened differently at the end with tate. so many feels and so many tears!! they are just too perfect together and it just was so heartwrenching reading this!

I don’t get it….

Why write a book with 5 chapters in it that shows what Missy would go through if Tate died? I love Shantel’s writing but I think this book didn’t need to be written. Just my opinion though.

Was not a fan of the “alternate” ending idea that this followed. It also held a LOT of exact flashbacks from Tate’s book so it didn’t feel like I was reading anything really new. I could’ve gone without.

WOW!!!

Contains Spoilers


This book had me in tears and in disbelief…I’m pretty sure that had the physical copy I probably would have thrown a few times for the emotional roller coaster it put in just to find out it was a dream the whole time!!!!

Not what I thought

I was so confused. The entire book is a dream and recap of Tate and Missy's relationship. This is the only story I did not like in the entire series.

This is a sad book. Hard for me to read of what life would be like without Tate. But still beautifully written.

Alot of this short story was flash backs from Unforgettable. Missy dreams that Tate didn't make it when he was shot in the bakery.

‘Without him. I am nothing.’

I’m not really sure what to say without being spoilery but this book is an intense experience and thank god it is only a novella.

I was very confused with this book. I thought i was literally going mad after reading the one before. I honestly thoughy Tate was dead but in the other they were expecting a baby. It was really believable.

I only rated 4 because it just felt like we were going over past events constantly, but we had already read them before. But i still enjoyed it because you truely saw Missys feelings for Tate.
