You know that book in almost every long series, the one where absolutely nothing happens to significantly progress the story and it feels like the author just wrote it to sell books? Yah, that's this book. I absolutely LOVED the first two books in this series. The third, not so much and this fourth book was a complete waste of time. If you want to read an entire book about all the men that LOVE Riley more than they have ever loved anything in the entire world and all the other people in the group that absolutely IDOLIZE Riley for no apparent reason, then please read this. If you want a gripping, emotional rollercoaster adventure like the first two books were, or if you are looking for even the remotest answer to any of the lingering questions you have from those first two books.....well, you aren't getting any of that here. If you STILL feel like you HAVE to read this because you are afraid of missing something, I strongly suggest just reading the last 25%. Everything before that is complete love triangle/quadrangle fluff. You've been warned.

I've been a fan of Dawson since 'I Hope You Find Me' and this is actually my favorite book series and she's one of my two favorite authors.
So, it was with lots of excitement but also very, very high expectations that I embarked on Book 4 of her Find Me series. I'm not an easy person to impress, and was left hanging where the first three installments left off - still this one does not disappoint.
When we left off in Book 3, Finding Hope, it of course, had grown increasingly dark, being the third book in a post apocalyptic series. I was impressed, constantly, with how perfectly she managed to pull off the escalating darkness of the mood, while keeping it real. Nothing about this series strikes me as far-fetched and the changes we see in the characters' demeanors seem appropriate for what they've been through. This installment just picks up where its predecessor left off, tone-wise. Despite it growing darker, there is still always hope, thanks to brilliantly designed characters. Dawson is incredibly brilliant in this way.
As with all of her other books, I feel like I've watched it all play out. Her descriptions are so real, so raw and so detailed -without droning on annoyingly though- that I forget I'm looking at words and just watch all of the scenes play out in my mind. This is how all books should be, yes, but Dawson is one of the few authors who does this for me. When I had to put the book down, I missed it. This series stays with me and I'm certain I'll be re-reading the entire series, greedily. Again.
Despite the rotating point-of-views, there is no confusion. This way, the reader has insight into the various ways the different characters see things. It's fascinating at times to view one character's view of their relationship with that person, versus the other person's. It was always a great way to showcase the various characters' mindsets: some remained ever-hopeful, despite having lost everything. Others had developed some very interesting coping mechanisms that added drama to the group dynamic, adding another element of fun to the overall reading experience.
Overall I'd give this 5 stars for keeping me engaged, not an easy feat, staying with me after I've finished it, and being professionally done.

And the saga continues...
Since this is my fourth book, obviously I find the story engaging. I like the character development over time. I do think the bloody encounters are too graphic and skip over those parts. And, I don’t quite “get” Riley’s love interest in both Drake And Connor. Seems a bit far-fetched. Regardless, I will continue on with the next book—hopefully the grand finale will be happy.

What a ride!
I’ve read all four books. Their fantastic. The characters are fascinating . It’s easy to love Riley, she brings you into her mind and feelings. Each person has such depth. This writer has several series of books each unique and each captures you totally I hope there is a book five

Satiafying ending
--Contains spoilers--
I found this series as a whole to be enjoyable. It was a rollercoaster of emotions. The last book had me at the end of my seat most of the time. Most questions were answered. Unfortunately, there are two that didn't get answered.
1. What about the ghosts?
2. Did Connor find Roan?
All in all, I recommend this series.

So glad I finally had time to read this.
Suspense, ecstasy, heart break, laughter, insanity, pure love, loyalty, revenge, survival, growth, healing, determination, and more.
Where hope is lost. And found again.
A great addition to the series.

Great ending
I really enjoyed this series and this book was a great ending for it. Even though this had everyone’s POV I was still left wondering what was going to happen with certain people. Well done.

Another 5 star hit!
Great read bringing back the surviving characters of the previous three books in the series. If you haven't read the other three books in the series please read them for hours of action packed, suspenseful reading hours. This book is well worth your time and money!

TMD has a way of covering every aspect of her stories and still leaves you wanting more. I had been waiting for this book for sometime and read it slowly because I didn't want it to end. No stone left unturned but yet I feel as though I still need more. Incredibly well written.
