That Which Survives
By cianastone
This is a captivating tale filled with mystery, suspense and passion. It’s a roller coaster of emotions with surprising twists and unexpected turns. The story’s plot thickens as you move from scene to scene and more pieces of the puzzle are revealed. Just when you think you know what’s going on, you’ll be faced with fascinating confusion while the mystery only deepens as you try to figure out who can be trusted and who cannot. There are deeds too evil to imagine and Senna seems to be at the center of it all. Will she turn out to be the salvation or the end of all mankind? And what role does Konnor really play in all this?
These are questions that will be answered at the end, but for me the ending was not what I expected and left me wondering if there’s more to come. It’s the reason I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars. I read this as part of a box set entitled “Holding on for a Hero.” At the end of the story, there’s no indication that there will be more to this storyline. Aside from my feelings at the end, this is a very entertaining story that will keep you at the edge of your seat for most of the book. I just felt the ending needed more or at least to know there’s more coming to the storyline.
Very suspenseful, adventurous and gripping. The mind boggling mystery of “That Which Survives” is full of so many twist and turns that as soon as you think you’ve figured it out, you haven’t. I loved the intensity and build-up, to me it is actually a 5* read until the last few chapters, although they were shocking revelations, there was just so much going on that I felt it was overkill and a bit overwhelming. Even though this is fiction, I want to be able to understand exactly what the author is sharing and this overload of information at the end kind of broke the flow for my not so young brain, lol. Regardless it was worth a little less sleep due to the anticipation of wanting to know what happened next. Very well written, in-depth, consuming romantic suspense.
This book started out with so much potential. Then the story became really convoluted. It was hard to keep up with the people, and the situations. To be honest by 70% of the book, I was tired of reading it, but I had to finish.
I thought this was going to be a romantic suspense. I guess it was; along with a side of mystery and a side of science fiction.
I usually enjoy Ciana Stone’s work, but this one ended up not being one of my favorites. I started out really enjoying it. It went on entirely too long. Finally, the ending was…… anticlimactic.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy.
ARC – I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are hones
There were so many twist and turns in this book.
Senna is really having a bad day, a bad month, a bad year.
Good thing Konnor is there to lend a shoulder.
I loved the storytelling + the characters
The storytelling + the character’s build were awesome!
I received a complimentary copy of the book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
I am just lost for the proper words for this wonderful book. Ms. Stone is an author that is a must read for me. Like with all of her books, I just get drawn in the web that is the plot. The twist and turns that you go through will keep you reading long into the night. The characters and the plot are ingenious.
If you are into complex stories that will keep you guessing, then this is one that you MUST read!!! I highly recommend.
ARC for honest review with no compensation
