Rate this book
"I have read hundreds of books and it is extremely rare for me to be surprised or give 5 stars. I almost always anticipate the plot twists. I thought I had this one all figured out from the very beginning. I couldn't have been more wrong! An exhilarating, emotional, fast-paced read that I couldn't put down. This story was utterly unique." - Justine, Book Catharsis ★★★★★

Eight kids, ages nine to seventeen, awaken to find that almost everything they have ever known has been stolen from them. They were kidnapped from their beds in the middle of the night and transported to an unfamiliar and unforgiving new world where there are strict rules, and they are punished if they refuse to obey.

As the kids grapple with their mysterious new reality, they struggle with disconcerting questions. Where in the world are they? Why were they taken away from their families? Will they ever get to go back home? And the most frightening question of all: Will this be the place where they die?

If you like mysteries with intriguing suspense, riveting action and adventure, short captivating chapters, clean romance, found family, and jaw-dropping twists and turns, you'll love this dystopian thriller duology that will keep you guessing until the end!

What readers are saying about THE UNKNOWN SERIES:


"Gripping. Unique. Lots of mystery and intrigue. Dystopian is one of my favourite genres, but I haven't seen it written so well in a very long time. I finished reading this book in awe." - Carly, Goodreads ★★★★★

"I love dystopian novels, but I have to admit, after a while, they tend to follow the same plotline and twists. This is TOTALLY not the case here. I was shocked." - Gail, Goodreads ★★★★★

"Lots of suspense, twists, and turns. I never saw the ending coming. It was a total surprise and explained everything!" - Karon, Goodreads ★★★★★

Perfect for fans of Unwind by Neal Shusterman, The Maze Runner by James Dashner, The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken, City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau, Scythe by Neal Shusterman, or The Giver by Lois Lowry.
