Unraveled is action-packed and fast paced. Wonderful ending to a fantastic series. Everything in the first two books is coming to a head so it's very suspenseful and intriguing. The main character, Ella, has done a lot of self discovery and growth throughout the series. I felt more connected to her struggles than ever and was glad to see her taking action in this one. There was a loss in this one that surprised me, although I guess it shouldn't have. I was always anxious to find out what was going to happen next and therefore found this a very quick read. I liked that it was a bit darker and more gritty than I originally thought the series would be. It's hard to talk about this one book without thoughts of the entire series leaking through but I really did enjoy each book on it's own and the series even more as a whole. It's dark and compelling with some action and romance too. I definitely recommend this series to those who enjoy a dark YA dystopian read.

Sorry but I couldn't get into the book at all. I tried though, I'm so sorry for my ADD brain. Series can't get book 1!

Thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the opportunity to read and review Unraveled by Kate Jarvik Birch, the third installment in her Perfected series! Ella and Penn are on the run for their own freedom and safety and they continue to fight for the freedom of all of the Pets. The group they're with is bombarded after being deceived into believing they would be rescuing many Pets. No one is truly sure about who can be trusted after that deception. Penn and Ella still have a beautiful relationship, regardless of Penn being the horrible Congressman's son and Ella still deeply cares for Ruby, Penn's younger sister. Unraveled shows growth in its characters and the mark that choices leave, decisions always have consequences. Suspense is the overriding emotion throughout the story and the feeling of not knowing who to trust carries on also. I thoroughly enjoyed Unraveled and especially the variety of characters and their dynamics. 5 stars for this dystopian novel!

A great ending to the Perfected series!

It's been a while since I read books one and two so I was a little hesitant to jump into UNRAVELED. I honestly couldn't remember half of what happened in book two and was worried that I would be lost. Thankfully things started to come back to me pretty quickly and those things that didn't, did not distract from my enjoyment of the story.

Ella fights for all the NuPet's that have been taken and are set to be killed. She works with a team of past NuPet's as well as those that just care about their well being. Ella and Penn continue to fight for their love for one another, there are a few bumps and hard decisions along the way. There is a lot of action as well as plenty of surprises.

Overall UNRAVELED did a great job of wrapping up the story and left me with the feeling that it was complete.

the conclusion to the perfected series, unraveled puts our beloved characters through the wringer, and not everyone makes it out alive. there are real stakes here. and ella and penn have to make difficult choices. and sometimes doing the right thing comes at a great cost.

i don't really follow this author on social media, so i don't know the full story about why there is such a big delay between books two and three. the second part published in 2015, and part of me wonders if the events of 2016 affected the story here. because this book doesn't shy away from addressing political issues. and so much of it is relecant to what is happening today.

if you've read perfected and tarnished, of course you are going to pick up unraveled. if you haven't i recommend starting at the very beginning, the series makes the most sense that way.

**unraveled will publish on april 3, 2018. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/entangled publishing (entangled teen) in exchange for my honest review.

I remember picking book one up when it came out, not really knowing what to expect and really enjoyed it and thought it was pretty unique and clever for a dystopian.
Now we are at the third and final book of the series and I’m absolutely thrilled to have been following Ella and her small group of trusted people.
This book was a the perfect conclusion to the series, it was just as nail biting and thrilling as the other two books, if not even a bit more. Everything is wrapped up nicely for the most part. There were a few minor things but that was okay and it was nothing important.
Sadly not everyone makes it to the end and I was at first not sure about it but it was kind of a good fit into the story.
I also really enjoyed Ella in this book, she came such a long way since book one and really has grown into her character. I love that she still has little flaws and sometimes is not sure of herself. It makes her so much more relatable.
The ending was great and I thought it did the entire series great justice.
Overall I did not only enjoy this book but the entire series and I can’t wait to see what Kate Jarvik Birch comes up with next
I rate it 4 ½ ★

This is the 3rd book in the Perfected trilogy and I was excited to read the conclusion. Ella (a pet) is finally free and she, along with her boyfriend, Penn, join a group of people trying to save the rest of the pets. They discover that the congressman is worse than they originally thought and that their is a betrayer in their group.

I loved what Ella accomplished and what she was willing to sacrifice to prove that she is more than just a pet.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

If you have not read the Perfected series, it is absolutely intriguing and definitely worth reading!

I was super excited to read Unraveled and could not believe how fast-paced the entire book was. It was filled with tough decisions, corruption, and hope. Ella continues to be an unlikely force to be reckoned with and Penn is just a good, solid guy who is willing to fight even against his father when it seems futile.

I like how the entire series tackles important issues in a way that seems so obvious in the storyline but not so obvious (to some) in our own.

This book kept the momentum strong from start to finish! It's a great way to wrap up this series!

I found this story never really stopped. The pacing was great; always building and evolving as the characters delved deeper. There was also a lot more physical action to the story as well. That added some unpredictability to the novel that kept me anticipating what would happen next.

Ella really shines in this for me as a reader. She gets a little caught up in the somewhat cliche role of a dystopian heroine at times but watching her come into her own was great. She's come so far from that first novel and it's amazing to see that in the finale.

I would have liked a little more near the end in terms of wrapping things up. Not that everything was wrapped up in a neat little bow necessarily, just that I would have liked to have seen the end results more so than just to be told they occurred.

Regardless, I was impressed with the final book and how this series progressed from start to finish.

*I voluntarily read and reviewed an eARC from Netgalley of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

I fell in love when I first read Perfected. I'm always drawn to stories about clones and genetified modified people. Maybe it's the Sci-fi of it all. Unraveled was a conclusion I feel like I've been waiting years for. It was one of my most anticipated 2018 books. 

I didn't exactly love the conclusion to the story but I also didn't hate it. I just didn't feel like I connected well with this book. Maybe I'm just not invested in the story anymore. The writing was good, I zoomed through the book, and I feel like I got closure even if I wasn't completely sastified with the ending.

Unraveled felt very political at times and even though it's more of a dystopian/utopian story, it relates very well to current events. The release's timing couldn't have been planned better. 

I preordered a physical copy of Unraveled months ago and can't wait to add it to my bookshelf. 

The covers for the entire series have been absolutely gorgeous. 💖📚

I received this eARC in exchange for a fair review.
I really enjoy this series! There are so many great and relevant issues addressed in these books, hidden inside the contemporary/dystopia style writing. Ella is such a strong character and I admire her determination to do what is right even when faced with just doing what is easy. It was actually good to see her come into her own away from Penn; he’s a great person for her, but she needed to see she can also do things on her own. My only qualm is that it is such a short read; I’d have happily read along for another 100+ pages.

Since I did not read the other two books, and did not know this was a series I am unable to give a good review. I found it confusing and rather hard to read due to not reading the previous books. Thank you for the opportunity to read this though!

For some reason I did not receive three separate books but the same book three different times with different covers. Had to give s star rating to proceed

Fantastic read. Well written, with a great plot and characters. This book is fast paced, with a lot of twists and turns. I was engrossed from start to finish. Unraveled is the conclusion of the Perfected series, which picks up a shortly after the conclusion of the second book. Ella and Penn are now a part of the resistance, Missy is in the hands of Penn's father, the Congressman. Ella is determined not only to save Missy, but also to shut down NuPet for good. The resistance has a traitor among them, foiling them at every turn. Ella and Penn are being framed for bombings. Things are not as easy for Ella and her friends in this book, and they will really have to fight for their freedom and what is right. Ella is even more courageous and ballsy in this book, as she dedicates herself to her mission. Ella still makes some very foolish decisions, but she is able to work her way through them towards her goals. The storylines from earlier books are wrapped up well in this conclusion. If you enjoyed the first two books, you will definitely want to read this finale.

You know what? I loved this. I wasn't sure with book two, but this made up for it but 100s. Kate has created this world pretty good, and the world building has been for me believable. Ella is and are still a strong main character you just have to root for. Ella wants so save all the NuPets, but is that even possible when the lying asshole congressman (f*ck him btw) is happening? I didn't know. I went into this book and expected things to happen which they did but not at ALL what I was expecting.

Rebellion comes at a price is mentioned here, and is something I think is very interesting which the book executes well. I'm not gonna spoil anything because I don't feel the need for that, but the deaths hit me. As I said, rebellion comes at a price.

Absolutely loved this ending to this book! I wasn't sure I would but it surprised me and I would seriously recommend this whole series to anyone who wants to pick it up :)

REVIEW
After reading and loving Perfected and Tarnished, the previous books in this series I knew that not only did I want to read the third and last book in this series, I really had to. I needed to find out how everything ends for the characters I have come to love. I also wanted to see if the ones I enjoyed hating got their comeuppance too. So when I was asked if I would like to review the book I jumped at the chance.

I have loved all the covers in the Perfected series and the cover of Unraveled fits in beautifully with the other covers. This one has a gorgeous flowing green dress at its centre which certainly draws your eyes to it. Then you notice the open jaws of the trap, which gives a really big hit as to what is going on in the book. There is also another great byline featured on this cover which says, "Rebellion comes at a price" which is also really appropriate for goes o in the book.

The genres I have seen listed for this book are Teens, YA though I would also add that it is Sci-Fi and Dystopian. A plague also plays a important part in the book so I would also add Post apocalyptic to the genre list.

This book begins with Ella, Penn ad their new liberationist friends Markus, Ian, Dave and Jane gathered outside a large warehouse about to undertake a mission to rescue the NuPets held within. They are acting on intelligence they have managed to gather that says a large number of NuPets are going to be held at the warehouse prior to being exterminated. Sadly for them they are walking right into a well laid trap. The liberationists have been tricked and given false information. The most annoying pat of the failed mission for leader Markus is that they have been sold out from someone within the trusted liberationist group.

Ella is determined to free as many NuPet's as she possibly can. She is most determined to pay what she sees as a debt back to Missy. Missy willingly sacrificed her own freedom so Ella and Penn could get away. Ella will go to any lengths needed in her efforts to free Missy even putting her own life on the line. Even when faced with the choice of swapping places with Missy during the failed warehouse mission, Ella is instantly prepared to give her own life in exchange for her friends freedom.

So since there's a spy in the group Markus decides it isn't safe for any of them to return to their Head Quarters. They need to find somewhere to lay low for a while. They need to take stock of the equipment they have and what skills they have to plan out what to do next.

Whilst the small now isolated band of liberationist's are licking their wounds, covertly gathering supplies and trying to lay low they end up being front page news. Several bombs have been detonated first at the Greenwich Kennels, killing Miss Gellner, so at least one person is dead. Then once again at a small restaurant where some of the liberation group have been meeting someone to help them to possibly bring down John Kimballrecently been seen in. Obviously this causes some unrest within the small group of liberationists, first accusing each other, then thinking it could be the liberationists they left at head quarters. Who could be framing them? The spy from within their own group? Or is John Kimball stooping so low as to kill people and the put the blame on his own son Penn and the other members of the liberation group to discredit them and turn the public opinion against them? It seems John Kimball is not above using his own daughter Ruby as a pawn in his relationship with wife Elise. What else or who else will John Kimball discard and "throw to the wolves" to save his own reputation, wealth and career?

John Kimball really does seem to be the man whom nothing bad ever seems to stick to! It seem's he always has a friend in the right place to smooth everything over for him. However with a little help from a rather unexpected source during a dangerous clandestine meeting means that the liberationists finally have a location for some evidence that will bring him down once and for all, but it all sounds so easy. . . an isolated, unprotected small shack holding information that would bring him to his knees. Well yes the saying if it sounds too good to be true it usually is definitely fits the predicament that Ella and her liberationist friends find themselves in. What with bickering, jealousy and trust issues, its a wonder they.....well I won't say anymore.

I genuinely loved this book there was plenty of action, suspense and betrayal. The way Kate Jarvik Birch had everything slowly unfurl, giving you as a reader the chance to guess at who the spy/double agent was great. Kate Jarvik Bich certainly keeps you o the edge of your seat in this book.

I also loved the more emotional scenes with Penn & Ella, Penn ad his mother Elise, Ruby & Ella and finally the scenes with Ella & Missy.

Though she is not central within this final book, she is still there and being used as a pawn to punish Elise ad Penn. I loved Ruby and her unquestioning trust and the love she shares with and for Ella.

I loved Ella and her determination to push on against the odds, even when things are stacked heavily against he she continues her efforts.

Ella finally has a change of fortune and receives a little help from a unlikely source just when she thinks she has lost everyone and everything.

I enjoyed hating John Kimball and continued to do so even more in this last installment of the series. I hated how John mistreated and used Missy to goad and draw Ella to him. He enjoyed flaunting the bedraggled, hurt, abused, and caged Missy in front of Ella. I fact the only time you see a glimmer of sorrow is when he realises his daughter Ruby has seen ad heard what is going on.

In the end Ella has a difficult, life changing choice to make, at one point she isn't sure she will be able to carry out her threat. . . . annnd of course I am not going to reveal whether she does or not.

Loved this series from the very beginning, sad to lose such a well loved character. Thoroughly enjoyed reading and seriously hated having to put this book down!

My final thoughts upon finishing this book were "wow! what a series!" I do not like revealing anything spoilery and but I have revealed that there are deaths in this book though I will not reveal which the who or the how. I will say one of the death had to happen or the book would not have been realistic enough. For all the adored characters to simply survive would have been too contrived and I think, ruined the feel and tone of the book. It would have made the ending too "cutesy" and "chocolate box".

"Unraveled" is the conclusion of the Perfected series, which picks up a little time after the conclusion of the second book. Ella and Penn are now integrated into the resistance, while Missy is in the hands of Penn's father, the Congressman. Ella is determined not only to save Missy, but also to shut down NuPet for good. However, things aren't as easy as they seem and the path isn't easy to follow.

The resistance has a traitor in their midst, foiling them at every turn. Add this to Ella and Penn being framed for bombings, and the resistance is on the ropes. If you can forget the previous books, this one seems stronger and the storyline progresses just as quickly with a fast pace. Things seem a little less easy for Ella and her crew in this book, and they will really have to fight for their freedom/what is right.

Ella is even more courageous and bold in this book, as she dedicates herself to her mission. Although she still makes some foolish decisions, she is able to work her way through them towards her goals. The storylines from earlier books are wrapped up well in this conclusion, and I have no doubt that people who enjoyed the first two will love to read this finale.

Please note that I received an ARC from the publisher through netgalley. All opinions are my own.

Unraveled is the third book in the series, and is a am continuation of Ella’s journey. This series is wonderfully disturbing and unique. I enjoyed book 3 as much as the other books.

Unraveled (Perfected #3)
by Kate Jarvik Birch

Review:♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ❣

The explosive conclusion to the Perfected series.

The congressman has gone too far. First, he passes a bill to genetically modify humans to be the perfect pet. His work was a mistake but for him, there is no going back. The consequences for everyone are more than evil. Lies, blackmail and a corrupt cooperation are just part of this disaster. All cards are on the table. Some will play dirty and some will show compassion.

Ella and Penn are back but the celebration is short-lived. Missy is in trouble and Ella feels she owes her a lifeline. This duo has found some new friends but also some hidden enemies. The journey ahead looks as though there is no good path to take. Unraveled is a good title for this book and it's full of twists. The family that started this whole nightmare are at the heart of the book and everyone's future is uncertain. Don't worry Ella gets her happy ending. This is a dystopian world so I'm afraid there is no glitter just silver linings.

I've really enjoyed this series it has been constant throughout. It's a continuous story and is fast-paced. The first book was probably my favourite but the whole series is good. The world is corrupt but it's only seen with open eyes.

4.5 stars out of 5. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Expected publication: April 3rd 2018 by Entangled: Teen

The idea behind this trilogy is disturbing not to mention rapwy but that is sort of the point. Female pets are bred to be kept by wealthy families. Ella used to belong to one such family until she escaped and then the full horrors of the system were revealed. Now Ella is tearing down that system. This us especually brutal and raw in the wake of me too and what value we place on female lives and what exactly about being female is valued. Dark and gritty but well worth a read.
