Citizens of Logan Pond #3
The Pursuit
Let the chase begin…
Six years ago, with the financial collapse of her country and the death of her parents, Carrie Ashworth swore to protect her siblings. She has fought to build a life for them in her illegal clan. Now home and recovering from a government-spread virus, she’s ready to pursue a little happiness of her own. With Greg.
Greg Pierce has no plan to join the growing rebellion or their “Live free or die” mentality. Even after compulsory military service deepened his hatred of President Rigsby’s regime, he wants nothing more than to leave it all behind and start a quiet life with Carrie in Logan Pond. But when word reaches them that Oliver, their patrolman friend and protector, is missing, Carrie and Greg are thrown into a race for survival. Chief Jamansky has discovered Oliver’s little secret and now he wants revenge, forcing their clan to consider abandoning Logan Pond forever.
In this battle for siblings and friends, for homes lost and freedoms stolen, the citizens must ask: How far would you go to pursue happiness?
The stakes are pushed to their boundaries in this highly-anticipated final book in Rebecca Belliston’s Citizens of Logan Pond trilogy, bringing her epic love story to an unforgettable end.

It's hard to believe the series is coming to a close!
The idea for Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit came eight years ago. I was thinking about the end of society as we know it and thought, "What if it's not from some huge catastrophe or war? What if it happens because of the collapse of the dollar?" From there, the story grew into the trilogy today.
The phrase, "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" is taken from the United States Declaration of Independence, signed July 4, 1776.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
Those are powerful words.
The books' titles should hopefully be obvious by now. Life: What life could be like. Liberty: What freedoms can be given and taken away. And now The Pursuit: pursuing happiness and freedom.
From yourdictionary.com: "The pursuit of happiness is defined as a fundamental right to freely pursue joy and live life in a way that makes you happy, as long as you don't do anything illegal or violate the rights of others." Some also believe that "the pursuit of happiness" references the right to own property. Thomas Jefferson doesn't specify how he intended that phrase, and maybe that's the point. It's up to us to define it.
I hope this series has given you a little more appreciation of those rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
My two favorite compliments to hear about Citizens of Logan Pond is that 1) Someone stayed up all night reading, and 2) The characters felt real to them. From the beginning, I wanted this story to be one that readers could put themselves into. I wanted to show regular, everyday people thrown into this survive-or-die situation. I wanted these characters to have to work together to survive in spite of their many differences. Because that's real life.
With the release of The Pursuit, I hope you have asked yourself, "What would I do if this happened? How would I survive without technology or money? How would I protect my family?" I hope you can also see what I have come to believe: Humans are born to survive. We're born to adapt and overcome. Not only that, but we're born to pursue happiness, wherever we find it, even in the smallest quantities. Happiness is out there. We just have to pursue it.

**This is Book 3 and these books must be read in order**
I'm a little bit devastated. This has been an amazing series and I'm so sad to see it come to an end. These characters have jumped off of the pages, coming to life for me. I feel like they are real friends (and enemies) and this thrilling conclusion is perfect for these people. But I really don't want to leave Logan Pond yet...
This story is very believable, as it takes place in the not-so-distant future. Chief Jamansky is pure evil and it is crazy to see the tip of the iceberg into his mind. There are other characters who really stepped up and became resourceful and indispensable citizens. I was on the edge of my seat reading this one because I had absolutely no idea how things could ever resolve in any way other than total and complete disaster. There are twists and turns that left me gasping, reeling, and wondering what in the world just happened. I love the strength and team work that resulted from certain events. Of course, I loved the romantic elements, but the suspenseful tension really stole my heart. I really don't want to give things away, so I'll stop here.
This is a very well-written series that I would highly recommend to anyone who loves a clean Dystopian-type of story with many, may other elements.
Content: mild-moderate violence (not graphic/gory); mild romance; very mild religious elements. Clean!

I loved this trilogy! Great story and characters and I read them all within a week!
September 3, 2016
I was so happy to read this last book in the Citizens of Logan Pond series but sad because I really have enjoyed them and the characters. But the twists and turns throughout had me really struggling to set it aside as needed. I wanted to just read straight through but life and exhaustion made this book take longer than I wanted! But I finally finished it! Oh my word how many twists were involved? Lots. I didn't see some of them coming and others I anticipated something like that to happen.
Carrie and Greg have many obstacles that keep popping up and causing them to delay their newly agreed on relationship. They have been back and forth for many reasons in the earlier books but now that they have fully committed they are tried in many ways and come close to losing everything they hold dear many times.
Not only do we get a developing relationship between Carrie and Greg but Ashlee and Oliver, and Amber and Braden also have their own love stories being woven within. I enjoyed all these characters and many more in the book. There were several characters that I just wanted to not have to read about but if I didn't there would be no resolution to the conflicts. The characters whom I didn't want to read about were very complex or crazy. Jamansky was definitely the top one. Eeeekkk!!! He is one crazy scary guy!
I enjoyed the way the citizens, illegals and rebels all came together to create a life of liberty and happiness and they were happy to sacrifice for it. For a life of living and not hiding. A life of health and not of being held captive and refused medical care.
It was fast paced so be warned you might pick it up and not want to set it down with all the catchy twists. I would like to have seen a little more development at the end dealing with how they fix everything but overall I enjoyed it lots and will probably reread them all!
Several characters end up in prison so there is talk about life in prison but overall it wasn't graphic. Some kissing and some very mild innuendos made by Jamansky. I would say this is a clean read and would recommend it to anyone who is a dystopian fan or anyone who enjoys a fast paced action and quick thinking novel.

October 17, 2022A timely book. The fictional world created by Belliston is incredibly scary because it is so plausible.
The trilogy begins after a complete collapse of the US economy. The remaining government under President Rigsby enacts emergency laws, restricts freedoms, and makes little progress toward a return to normalcy. The population is divided into roughly four groups: government workers, people who were at least moderately wealthy before the crash, a huge majority who are essentially government slaves, and people living illegally outside the government’s control.
The trilogy focuses on one neighborhood, in Logan Pond, near Chicago. Most of the neighbors are there illegally, with one legal couple who owned their home free and clear before the crash. They grow crops, trade on the black market or with other groups of illegals, and live in constant fear of arrest.
As this third book in the series begins, other illegal Americans are no longer content to sit in the shadows and a revolution has broken out. To fight it, President Rigsby has released a slightly-mutilated form of meningitis to wipe out anyone opposed to him.
This book started a little slow for me, and I think that’s partially because it’s been a while since I read the second book in the series. I remembered the characters, but not necessarily their personalities. But after the first few twists hit, the story was a good one. I don’t want to spoil the plot, but there were lots of challenges for the characters and the ending was exciting and satisfying.
I recommend the entire trilogy as a thought-provoking look at what we might be facing before too much longer (although I hope when our national deficit blows up it’s not quite as bad as the scenario in the trilogy).

This is the conclusion to the Logan Pond series. It started out with a heart-thudding scene and never let up. I kept cringing, grimacing, wringing my hands as scene after tense scene kept upping the suspense. It was a nail-biter’s nightmare (which means it was awesome in the literary sense—but terrible in the manicure department). There was non-stop action as Carrie, Greg, Amber, Zach and Oliver struggled to survive in the United States of Terror as Chief Zamansky and other evil power players continued to manipulate lives and freedom. I don’t want to give anything away, but suffice it to say this trilogy really opened my eyes and made me appreciate the freedoms we have in this country. The scenario the author placed America into in this series was beyond frightening…but very plausible. The author did a great job making the characters grow (although I didn’t envy their crazy, dangerous lives even a sliver). I was thoroughly entertained and enlightened by this riveting conclusion. It’s a meaty meal that will satisfy readers who love Dystopian stories with a touch of romance.

Oh my goodness. I loved the first two books and waited in anticipation for this one. It did not disappoint. It kept me hooked from the beginning to the end, and wrapped up the story very nicely. Loved it. Definitely a must read, especially if you love end of the world novels. I find it very realistic too.

This is the third book in the Citizens of Logan Pond series and definitely my favorite of them all. Each book got progressively better and I'm glad I stuck with this series after the first book (which wasn't my favorite).
In my review of the first book I mention that I don't like Greg at all. I'm not sure I came out of this series loving him, but he definitely mellowed and became less abrasive in books two and three. He has many redemptive qualities that came out more in the second and third books. Thank goodness.
The pacing in this book is fast and constant. The characters are all fighting for their lives and for the people that they love. It was easy to get caught up in their plight for freedom. This book is the climax of the series and it's full on. The first two books have really built up to this final book and it doesn't disappoint.
Luckily anyone starting this series now, like me, can read the books one right after the other without waiting. The benefit of coming into a series late, I guess.

Wow what a ride.
GreAt three book series The Pursuit had me on the edge of my seat. I loved the characters . Carrie is sweet and very innocent even at age 22 and her character is written perfectly. Greg is the perfect hero just trying to stay under the rader. The author has taken a different approach to a dystopian future, no war, no zombies and no emps. I loved this authors approach and recommend this series at 5Stars

Can I cry that the trilogy is over? I didn't want it to end.
This is the fourth book I have read by this author, and once again the story is tense, full of surprises and plot twists. To say it is like a roller coaster would be an understatement.
As a side note, the titles for the books in this series are brilliant.
Don't stop writing, Rebecca! You've got a loyal fan over here.

I was looking forward to the conclusion of this series, because Liberty left me really hanging and I wanted to know just what happened to all of these characters I had grown to love.
I like Carrie, I love the way that she is so naive and really still expects the best of really everyone and everything around her. But at the same time, her naivety, gets her into trouble in the world that she lives in. I love the way that she goes through many hard things and is really able to bounce back from her hard times and still be okay. I love the way she's really into gardening and wants to use that to unite all of the rebels in the area and trade for things that everyone needs and wants.
I like that Greg is really an opposite to Carrie. He is less naive and really knows how the world they live in works and that's good, because he's seen lots of the way the world operates and he's able to get himself and really their whole family out of sticky situations all the time.
Carrie's siblings are pretty prominent in this one, and I love the way that they think and that they are able to care for themselves and bounce back from their difficulties as well.
For me, this book did not disappoint! It was full of surprises and the whole thing left me hanging plot wise until the very end. I was happy with how everything turned out, it really was a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy.

Pursuit was absolutely captivating! This is the final book in the Citizens of Logan Pond series and I couldn't have hoped for a better finale. There are so many twists and turns, lies, deceptions and schemes. It leaves you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next.
Pursuit has a really good pace. It moves fast and there's lots of action and drama. Then some times it slows down and time stands still like you're actually seeing what they're seeing, you're feeling and experiencing what the characters are. It was a truly magical experience. This series has really touched me and gotten me to appreciate the freedom that we take for granted every day. I have a new appreciation for our Founding Fathers and the struggles that they endured to insure that we would become free nation. I love, love , love the characters and and I'm SO happy that certain people found their happiness. My heart has grown. I feel truly blessed to have read this series by Rebecca Belliston.
God bless and give me Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness.

Finished reading “The Pursuit”--- the last book of the dystopian trilogy “Citizens of Logan Pond”. Couldn’t put it down. Love Love Loved it. Full of suspense and romance, and is a thought-provoking story on top of it all. I highly recommend this series!

Lots of action and suspense in the last book of this dystopian series, but just enough cute moments too for those who like romance. I loved how each book really went with the title and connected all together with her theme. #CitizensofLoganPond

I really enjoyed this series and I am sad it ended.
February 27, 2020
I may change this review when I'm done reading the book, But at this point I'm only three-quarters of the way through. I am really upset by how everyone just keeps believing David Jamansky. I don't understand how a guy that continuously lies to everyone and gets caught in these lies hold any weight with his words to any of the other characters. It is extremely frustrating to me and is raising my blood pressure. I'm absolutely outraged that this book it's taking this long to finish because David j. All of these have known from the start that he is a monster, but continually believe his useless lies. I don't understand why this had to be drawn out for so long. Pardon any spelling or grammatical errors as I am doing a talk-to-text because of a disability.

I have already read the first two books in this series called, Life, and Liberty, so I went ahead and got this one when it was offered for free. From what I remembered of the first two books, it was a great story but there's absolutely nothing in them to call them Christian fiction. So I did some exploring to see why I was even notified about them. Sure enough the first book is listed as Christian fiction but the next two say nothing about it. The 2nd book, Liberty is listed as dystopian fiction and this one is listed as teen and young adults politics and government and even children's action and adventure! There's no way a child could or should read this!!!
I'll be deleting all 3. If you don't care if it's Christian, you'll probably enjoy it. If you're like me and do care, you won't.

I loved this book and the series!! The idea of what would happen to our country during a financial collapse is such a fun and intriguing premise of this series! Specifically with this book, I think it is amazing how this is book three and it was just as good, if not better, than book one. Many times the first book in a trilogy is the best and you are let down by the other two a bit. But I didn't feel that was the case here at all. I think the third one may have been my favorite! This is a must read!
November 13, 2019
Book 3 continues the saga of the gentle Citizens of Logan Pond, and it’s still a sweet futuristic romantic suspense, but our heroine and hero spend more time apart than together as everyone struggles against their oppressors and the suspense soars. Eww. Still vividly written, so much so I’d put the book down to make a sandwich and feel guilty I had food in my refrigerator and wasn’t doing more to help Carrie and Greg. 4 stars because our heroine/hero find their HEA; 5 stars if I was a fan of suspense.

I really liked these books because they stayed clean and interesting however I thought the first two books stay very depressing. The third book finally started to get hopeful. Get I guess this really isn't my genre. It was well written stayed very clean but I thought it was really depressing.

I really loved this book. It was a great closing to the series. The ending was so good. I have loved all of the books in this trilogy, which is really fun, because that is usually not the case with a series. All of these books have been page-turners for me, and they have kept me hooked. It was a great series.

I sure loved this series and the characters in it. Normally I never like the third book in a trilogy, but this series was the opposite. I enjoyed each of the books and didn't get sick of it. Great idea and I recommend the series to any dystopian lovers!

This one wasn't as good as the first two, but it was still worth the read. Greg is still my favorite character. I love his down home vocabulary and gentleness, his intelligence, and his fighting spirit. I love that he (and the others) finally got the happiness he worked so hard for. The motorcycle scene was funny. As was the ribbing he gave Jamansky about his bed. It seemed to get a little crazy at some points with everyone getting arrested. And some of the story wasn't totally believable. But I was on the edge of my seat and yelling at the book, freaking out. Stupid Jamansky was like a law unto himself. He became annoying and it bugged me that Carrie couldn't get away from him while he was at work or something. The end seemed to resolve too easily after Rigsby was shot. I don't know how they would have rebuilt the government and kept looters and rioters from going nuts. And I didn't totally love the epilogue. There was some innuendo and Jamansky tried to take advantage of Carrie a couple times, but it was clean for the most part (no sex) with no language. I let my 14 year old daughter read it. She loved it, by the way. This series was definitely a 'this could happen to us' situation. I found myself loving our country more and being grateful for what we have here and for hard working citizens who look out for each other and work together to make our country great. I got a little choked up when McCormack called his men to attention toward the end. Relieved for a happy resolution to this can't catch a break series. I would read it again in the future.

Awesome conclusion to the series
This was a great book! It had been quite a while since I'd read the second book so I didn't remember all the details of what had happened, but the author did a good job of filling in the blanks so it all made sense. I loved the characters and how they all developed through the series. The plot was fast paced and intriguing and made it hard to put the book down. But alas, I had to take care of my children and wasn't able to read for hours on end like I wanted to, lol. This was a fabulous series and made me feel even more grateful for the freedoms we enjoy in this country. I definitely recommend this book and the entire series!

What happened to the dogs?
Other then that I really enjoyed this story. The twists, the truns had me guessing and hanging on. I did find it a little scary how realistic some this story seemed for a dystopian noval, a genre I usually don't like this up there!

I don't know what to rate this book. I loved the series but this book kind of dragged for me. I skipped a bunch and just wanted to know how it ended. I was over it. But it was really good and intense. Maybe I read them too fast so to much of a good thing turns bad?!?!

Intense
This was a hard one for me to read. It was intense the whole time. Everything went wrong the whole time. I liked the idea of everything that happened, I just wish some things had gone their way some of the time.

A good finish to the series. It was nice that there was more happening than just wrapping up previous problems from the earlier books. Definitely a series I would recommend.

This was a solid finish to the series, and I think she actually got stronger in her writing with each one. I would definitely look up this author in the future for quality reading.
