ARC Review: The Unleashed by Bentz Deyo
Synopsis:
Leam Holt has done the unthinkable. He’s saved Harbing from utter destruction by consuming the toxin that was intended for the entire town and he’s rescued Eloa’s father from a prison cell under Darkness Headquarters.
But at what cost? Stricken by the poison and unable to remember who he is or access his Light side, Leam is captured by the evil Gideon and brought in for interrogation and training. Surrounded by Darkness, Leam revels in his undiluted Dark power and connects with other violent and corrupt kids, especially the bold and gorgeous Rylan. Still, Leam tries to piece together memories about his past, including those of Eloa, who he discovers is in grave danger.
While Sebastian and the forces of Light work to free Leam from the grasp of the poison and Gideon, the world is thrown into turmoil from exposure to the toxin. The battle for control over the prospect, the person who will lead the world into complete Darkness or Light, is heating up, and Leam’s role in the war grows murkier.
My Review:
5 stars
I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I was incredible happy to hear from the author that The Undelightened series would be getting a sequel. When I read the first book I was instantly pulled into the intriguing story of The Undelightened. I simply could not wait for the second book and once it finally arrived I was immediately started reading. If I was not doing work for my college classes, I would spend each free moment I could reading further.
The Unleashed was a great and satisfying sequel to The Undelightened. As the story progresses we get learn more about Leam (and Eloa as well) along with the struggles that Leam continues to face. I have never been a fan of books that give off a speedy “happy ending” vibe, as if things will be resolved too quickly. The Unleashed does not disappoint, it continues to reveal more about the battle between the light and dark worlds and is full of surprises within this incredible world that the author has created. I look forward to what the author will bring to the table with the next book. After that ending that The Unleashed left us with I will be waiting (rather impatiently) for book 3. I will not lie…I found myself mentally screaming to Leam that everything would be okay after finishing the book.
Thank you Bentz for continuing to share this world you have created with us.
