Live and Let Live #3
The Found
She walked away to her heart’s detriment. He found out what he was missing…too late.
Lola and Cole, with the help of a few friends, survived the angry ministrations of a crazed despot. But now, instead of celebrating their victory in this torn-up world, they’re as lost as two people can be.
Lola wants Cole to find the happiness robbed of him. Cole wants what Lola provides - a home. Their stubbornness drove them apart but when Lola faces being alone at the end of the world, she turns back to the only family she knows.
Reunited with the ones she loves; she’s prepared to be what Cole needs her to be. But she’s not ready for the group which turns out to be far more sinister than Shepherd could ever be. Fighting for their lives, Lola and Cole must overcome the evil deeds of man or risk a fate worse than death or eternal zombiehood at that.
Will Lola and Cole come together only to be ripped apart?

Riveting!
I hate that this is the last in this series... Having grown attached to the characters; the highs, and the lows, and oh the sweet revenge, and such kept me glued to these book's pages. I want more!

After finishing this book, I had to take a couple of hours to myself in order to digest the ending. I found that I enjoyed it more than I did the second book in this trilogy; but even so, the reason it got such a low star review is simply because of the ending.
It felt rushed, there were several little hints and clues into the mysteries that occurred within the previous two settlements that Lola and her friends occupied, only for those hints to go absolutely nowhere.
MAX WAS UNNECESSARILY HURT BY A BEAR??? Why is it always the dogs. WHY. I love that he survived but damn, just unnecessarily hurt the baby boi.
The worst part of it for me. The absolute worst part. Was the cliffhanger ending, or rather than cliffhanger, perhaps I'd call it more of an open ending. Either way, there was a lot of unanswered questions and it just doesn't feel like a satisfactory ending.

Lack luster ending to an intriguing trilogy! I was immediately hooked when I started the trilogy.. oddly enough I loved the first two but this last one just… drug on. It felt very chaotic and just kind of abruptly ended. Very anticlimactic.. i don’t know, maybe just wishful thinking 🤔 it was still interesting I just felt it could have been better!

okay
The first 2 books were so good but the poor female lead. Spoiler….I never grew to like Cole. He never does anything to prove to Lola anything. He brushed her off and always chooses someone else. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement.

I CANNOT BELIVE HOW HIGHLY THIS IS RATED. ikyfl
As I suspected, each book was worst than the last. I’m actually angry with myself that I read this. There are more problems than positives and if I listed them out it would be almost as long as this sorry excuse of a story. I’m just glad it’s over and I will NEVER be tricked into reading another book by this author.

The Found de Stella Craig serie Live and Let Live libro 3
Argumento:
Ella se alejó en detrimento de su corazón. Descubrió lo que se estaba perdiendo... demasiado tarde.
Lola y Cole, con la ayuda de unos cuantos amigos, sobrevivieron a los enfadados cuidados de un déspota enloquecido. Pero ahora, en lugar de celebrar su victoria en este mundo destrozado, están tan perdidos como dos personas pueden estarlo.
Lola quiere que Cole encuentre la felicidad que le robaron. Cole quiere lo que ofrece Lola: un hogar. Su terquedad los separó, pero cuando Lola se enfrenta a estar sola en el fin del mundo, regresa a la única familia que conoce.
Reunida con los que ama; está preparada para ser lo que Cole necesita que sea. Pero ella no está lista para el grupo que resulta ser mucho más siniestro de lo que Shepherd podría ser.
Luchando por sus vidas, Lola y Cole deben superar las malas acciones del hombre o arriesgarse a un destino peor que la muerte o la eterna zombis.
¿Lola y Cole se unirán solo para ser destrozados?
The Found es el tercer libro candente de la serie de romance apocalíptico Vive y deja vivir. Si te gusta el humor negro, las relaciones lentas y las emociones espeluznantes, entonces devorarás el fascinante libro de lectura de Stella Craig.
Mi humilde opinión:
Último libro de la serie Live and Let live, estoy tan contenta porque mi corazón ya no lo puede soportar más, lo juro!
¿En serio comienza contado desde la perspectiva de Cole a quien odio a muerte?
Ok. En su POV él se cuestiona todo y, oh sorpresa! reconoce sus errores. El principal: nunca poner a Lola, la mujer que ama primero, no ser su héroe. Yo aquí me dije: Vamos a ver que no lo arruines de nuevo.
Y él lo hace. Lo arruina por supuesto. Lo que hizo esta lectura frustrante en ese sentido, al menos la primera mitad.
Lo que más me molestó de todos los libros fue que no se explican las cosas entre personajes, en un diálogo. Sucede con la violación de Lola. Sissy, la ex de Cole, en el primer libro, se da cuenta de que el novio de Micha la drogó y por eso no se acuerda de lo que le pasó. Pero esto queda ahí. Lola nunca se lo comenta a su mejor amiga, no le dice que nunca la traicionó. Tampoco se lo dice a Cole. Por esto la odiaban y nunca se aclaró entre ellos.
Así que no siento que los personajes reciban una explicación del otro para entender qué es lo que sienten. Yo lo sé como lector pero ellos quedan colgando.
Aquí Cole por ejemplo, cuando encuentra finalmente a Lola no hace lo que dijo que haría. No le confiesa que está enamorado de ella ni tampoco le explica la historia con Marie y el plan. La deja adivinando, sufriendo y suponiendo sus sentimientos. Me estás embromando Cole? Te la pasaste llorando por ella y sigues siendo el mismo idiota de siempre?
Ya no hay nada que les impida estar juntos, salvo por el loco de Enzo que se pone en el medio de vez en cuando lo que me enojo porque...
Después de matar a Shepherd, no entendía que dejaran quedarse a los seguidores de este en el asentamiento, incluido Enzo. Obviamente eran un peligro para todos y sobretodo sabiendo que esa gente cometió crimenes. Yo estaba sorprendida de que no los echaran inmediatamente y enojada porque caminaran por ahí como si no hubieran hecho ningún mal.
Pensamiento aparte...
Ya lo veía venir, esa gente les iba a traer grandes problemas a Lola, Cole, Jace y Micha. Y así fue!
Por supuesto Cole tenía que reclamarle a Lola que se defendiera de Madge, pedirle que se lleve bien con la persona que casi le causa la muerte? Y la forma en que toma de menos las preocupaciones de Lola? Otra vez escogiendo el deber antes que ella. Me molestaron sus constantes muestras de celos y reclamos a Lola de si ella tuvo sexo o no con Enzo? Cole continúa desconfiando de ella todo el tiempo! Yo estaba esperando un Cole diferente a estas alturas del libro, no el mismo idiota egoísta de siempre!
A estas instancias de la historia, con tantas cosas que pasaron Lola y Cole, me hubiera gustado ver más comunicación entre ellos, que fueran más equipo y se dieran apoyo. Fue frustrante porque se peleaban y nunca se ponían de acuerdo en lo importante.
Para mí alivio mejora en la segunda parte del libro. Me encantó cuando Lola y Cole finalmente me demuestran trabajo en equipo y la química entre ellos cuando van a buscar las medicinas. Me gustó ver a esta pareja por una vez siendo una pareja y lo mejor, pateando traseros de zombies.
Tengo que decir que Enzo me decepcionó antes. Creía que después de la muerte de Manny, Lola tenía otro buen amigo pero de pronto se vuelve oscuro. La Maltrata verbal y físicamente, casi abusa de ella. No comprendía que Lola tuviera la esperanza de recuperar ese amigo que fue antes.
Sospechaba de Enzo sobre ser un incubador del virus pero no pensé que Sofía también lo era! Fueron tremendas las revelaciones que siguieron sobre ellos, lo que planeaban hacer juntos y que el estudio al que se apuntaron fue la razón por la que el virus convirtió a todos en zombies. No me lo esperaba! Y siempre me pregunté qué escondían esos dos.
Pero al final Enzo pareció reaccionar y le advirtió a Lola sobre el gran grupo de seguidores del culto de Shepherd, que resultaron ser mucho peores que él! Los experimentos que descubrieron Lola y Cole fueron horribles y les costaron Jace y Micha.
No me encantó que Lola continuara perdiendo amigos, por qué Micha y Jace a esta altura del libro? No le vi el punto. Los adoraba y me hubiera gustado conocer su punto de vista en la historia. No me pareció justo que llegado al final fueran víctimas de las retorcidas personas de la secta. Por qué matarlos luego de llegar tan lejos en el libro? Fue terrible leer la forma en que los mataron y para qué lo hicieron. Menos mal que la bebé Hope sobrevivió!
El desenlace fue tremendo, estuvo lleno de tensión y suspense. Deja como un final feliz por ahora y... LO ODIO porque me hubiera gustado que Lola encontrara su lugar seguro. Cole se convierte en su héroe después de tanto dolor, recuperó a su amigo Caleb y menos mal que Max su amigo peludo se salvó, casi me largo a llorar mares cuando casi lo mata el oso!
Esta serie me dio muchos infartos, como ninguna otra, cada libro fue adictivo y Lola fue una de esas heroínas que me causó impacto. Una sobreviviente con todas las letras.

good book but where’s book 4?
I love these characters but where’s book 4….it says trilogy, but how can it end….there’s no ending…and I hate when you constantly kill off main characters before it feels like there end. Jase….like why? Michele…..like why so then there now stuck taking care of a baby that will hold them back. Enzo, dying for nothing….nothing….and her other friend…..like is nothing holy or you just kill off who u want to keep us on our toes….they all died for no reason. For a book to be good there should be a reason. For this I won’t be looking at more of her works.

Oh gosh this book was so sad, and wow did I just love this story it wasn't five stars only cause I'm not a huge fan of communities in the zombie apocalypse world I just find them boring but everything else was so good and Stella Craig is just a good writer with the way she was able to keep my attention I'm honestly sad the series is over because I enjoyed it so much I haven't read another zombie book that has been able to compete its just so well balanced with the romance horror and suspense that the other zombie books so far just don't have
September 10, 2022
I cannot say enough about this series. Okay, so coming from a person who does not do zombie books, movies and basically anything zombie, this literally blew my mind. Why did I read it? Because, I love this author, so I just totally jumped in. I am so thrilled that I took the leap. All I can say is just read this. You won't be disappointed. Seriously...this has 'best seller" all over it.

Adrenaline fuelled conclusion???
Brutal conclusion. Exciting from start to finish. The story had me on tenterhooks and was immersive. So much so that I neglected my duties for the day and binged read the entire book. I wouldn't be adverse to reading more about Lola and Cole and where their small group ended up settling. It was satisfying knowing the cause of the outbreak, too.

Good stuff
I’m not sure if I was just in a bad mood when I read this or if the first half of the book is extremely irritating and frustrating. I stuck with it though and finished it (in one day)…I’m happy I did. The last half of the book was great! I’ll definitely read any more that continue this series!!!

I hope this isn't the end
Who knew that your once allies would become your enemies and your once enemies would become your allies in the end. We knew Sheperdstown wasn't what it was thought to be but the dangers that lurked around every corner had me wanting to rush to see what happened next. Cole and Lola finally got together but still butt heads but still heat up the pages.

Glad to finally read a finale of sorts. I enjoy this type of romance but I will say I didn’t like Cole as much in the end. I mean he really didn’t ever put Lola first there was always someone or something before her. So he had me rolling my eyes with him getting jealous of Enzo and second guessing Lola, dude just beat your lucky ass she still gives you chance after chance.

really like all three books hope she will do another book on these characters.

Decent
Too much detailed intimacy but a decent read for mature readers. I would suggest this book series to horror fans for sure.

Although I loved this book (serie) it didn't feel like
it was the last one.
So fingers crossed that Stella decides for the 4th book!

Well written, that trilogy (so far?) was good even if i cant figure out Cole (Hero . He seems to always choose someone or something else but her..). Last half was great.
It ends rather abruptly: I'd have liked to read an epilogue or a glimpse in the future if it's really the end of a trilogy...

great book
The conclusion to this series and it was great the whole series. Sad how things happened for some but can’t all be sunshine and roses. Over all a good series!

Kind of disappointing that it took Cole losing everything to finally put Lola first.

Plot line is good
The relationship between Lola and Cole was so toxic I almost didn't finish this series. The story line is good though.
