Only… along with them, came more questions.Questions about her brother. Questions about her past.And it looked like both of those things were catching up to her. Which left Hannah torn.Between Cole and Liam, she already had her … torn.
Between Cole and Liam, she already had her hands plenty full. Not to mention her own nagging conscience, the one that kept reminding her that what she was feeling was wrong. So… the most pressing questions still remained unanswered.
How far would a girl be willing to go to get answers? And for that matter, how far would the men in her life let her?

Surviving The Wall (Outlasting Series Book 4) by LK Magill is truly a fast-paced, compelling read that held me completely in it’s thrall. There wasn’t anything about this book/series that I did not like and found the characters especially captivating. Throughout there is an sense of what if as each of the main characters reflect on heartbreak, trauma and loss.
The plot of this part of the series provides the reader with a great deal of information and challenging revelations. Hannah is not only reunited with her long-lost brother, but also finally with Cole and Liam. With continuous action, there’s never a dull moment. And in addition to the action there’s plenty of emotional drama too that kept me on the edge of my seat, holding my breath or biting my nails. There are many moments of utter sadness, hopelessness, helplessness, ups and downs and on the flip side, relief, a bit of happiness and hope for a positive outcome for all.
Overall, a very well written book that finally provides some answers, revelations and some resolution for Hannah, Cole and Liam, but now on pins and needles for Book 4!
OK. I finished it. I’m still annoyed I had to READ books #2 & #3 to get to the END of this part of the story, but once IN the story, it was, pretty good, overall. There were issues, I felt, with the end ~ I thought it was rushed and “too easy”. Yes, the author had placed the breadcrumbs, so it wasn’t a SHOCK, but it seemed too neat ~ too tidy ~ too quick.
Having said that, I did think the idea of *what we remember* ultimately then frames who we are at the moment to be something to think about ~ as a daughter & sister, Hannah was a mild, follow-orders kind of young woman. All on her own, she was a bad-ass survivor. As an undercover operative, she was purpose-driven. Her time in the wall/with and after Andy/in the compound/underground ~ all showed different ‘sides’ of her. That was well done. I also liked her struggle with ‘can I love two men at the same time?’ ~ a solid existential concept, not to mention defying societal norms.
Will I choose to read the remaining three books? As they delve into new relationships ~ and as I’m still irritated at being baited ~ probably not. Do I care about these new people? No. Do I care about what happens within the Wall? A little bit ~ but only insofar as to know what happened to the OTHER Walled Enclosures. Did the code wipe them out, too? Who has taken charge of them? Can Uri extend his power? Those would be what I’d be reading for, and I’m suspecting it’s going to just morph into ‘will Cass remember?’ ~ so, no. Not now, at any rate. I will also go back and amend my book #1 review ~
This book brought it all together! It was EVERYTHING!
I LOVED IT SO HARD! Liam, Cole and Hannah Mae finally found their way back to each other snd it was so bittersweet. I didn’t want it to end. I read book 1 months ago. Then just recently I decided to continue the series and it was worth it. I highly recommend this series.
This is the 2nd book I’ve read written by LK Magill; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.
I received a free copy of this book via booksprout and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.
