Having read this awhile ago I neglected write this so read again I did. Every once in awhile it is nice to jump into a YA for the difference in it for example. I had read the one before this so I was not too lost.The characters have their own agendas we follow in here. This had a bit of sci-fi in it which I do not read too much any more. It does have romance in it. You do have to follow closely or you could get lost due to the twists. Sci-fi lovers will adore this one.

Reading Alpha felt oddly reminiscent of Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. I didn’t realize until I finished the book that it was part of a series and I started with book three. Makes sense why some things didn’t quite make sense.

I loved this! It was a really great addition to the series, and the twists and turns made for a really wonderful read. I loved all of the different versions of the characters, and how they were the same - yet different. The world building was fantastic, as well.

I didn't realise this was the third book in a series so I can't give an accurate review and I was lost for about the entire book.

DNF because I didnt realize it was a conclusion in a trilogy so I will perhaps return to it if I find the other books interesting.

This really was a great concept, but I couldn't quite get into it. It really didn't catch my attention

Such a satisfactory final book in this trilogy. Each book has consisted of perspectives of the 3 relationships mentioned of the main characters and each book has been enjoyable. I love the concept of multiverse convergence like this, especially with romance involved. You almost sympathize with Dylan, the main protagonist of this series, in this book. His devotion to Ava is proven to what depth it lies in this finale. I highly recommend you give this series a read. Very fantastic YA series with a cool sci-fi concept not found often in today's trend of vampires and dystopian books.

This isn't your typical romance. Sure there may be similarities but what romance doesn't follow that same plot line. I loved that this book was full of twists and turns, One minute it was breaking up a family, the next it was fixing it.
I read this as a stand alone, and I wished that I had started it off right by starting the series, it was hard to understand because It is book 3 but it was still good nonetheless

After finally getting the gist of the story and figuring out the whole premise of the story, it wasn’t that bad. But I did find out however that this is a series really needs to be read in order. The stories don’t really work as standalone stories.

In this third installment we cross paths with Sera and G who are being held captive and used for experiments. Dylan is in love with Ava but she has died so he goes in search of another Ava and comes across Sera whom he kidnaps. I did figure out that G and Dylan are the same person and Ava and Sera are the same yet they come from different dimensions/realms/planes…whichever you choose to call them they are the same. Sort of like the different earths with a doppelganger of you on each earth on Flash. All the same yet personalities are a little quirky on each one.

I also found out that in Book 1 they work for Infinity and are able to jump into the different dimensions. Dylan tries to twists things so that Sera will believe what he is saying about G and chooses him. This can be very confusing if you are not paying attention or haven’t read the previous books.

I enjoyed how it seems as if the same common core of characters show up as I traveled through the different dimensions. It actually made for a more comprehensible and cohesive story. Ms. Accardo was able to show how the dimensions worked. They were the same on a level yet different. Like twins or triplets look the same put have different personalities.

As Ms. Accardo took us on this journey through the different dimension she did a great job of the descriptions of each one from: the sounds, the smells, the clothes, the climates, the emotions, even the feel of the punishments. It made it very simple to visualize just what each dimension was like.

The way the author uses POV’s makes it easy to follow a story also. In this case First person was used which allowed me to follow the story a little easier without having read the first two books in this series.

Although I enjoyed this story despite being lost more than a time or two I found it to be an adventure worth taking. I am however going to read the first two books just so that everything is tied up and I understand it a bit more.

If you enjoy romance in a Sci-Fi setting I think you will enjoy this series.

A special thank you goes out to Entangled Teen for allowing me to read this eARC early. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Another series done and gone. All and all, it wasn't bad, despite the average rating. I certainly preferred some characters over others. But I'll talk more about that toward the end, when I do a series wrap up. Beware that the series wrap up will have some spoilers. They aren't super major but it's best to avoid that if you don't want to get spoiled.

The two MCs in this book were Sera and G, from the previous book. Now I didn't mind them but I just couldn't get into their POVs as much as I did for Ash and Noah. Sera was a fighter and she never gave up, which is something I admire. But I just couldn't connect with her. It felt like she was just waiting for people to save her instead of trying to get out of the situation. Same with G, in the sense that I couldn't get into his POV. He was a lot more darker than I'm used too and I think that's why I wasn’t a huge fan of him. I'm not the biggest fan of anti heroes. It takes a special character to get me really into them. And sadly, G was not it.

In this book, Dylan was more humanized that I had ever seen him and it was interesting. Honestly, I didn't think I would like it because I didn't like Dylan at all. I didn't like him as a person and I didn't like him as a villain. But I liked it? Who am I? I don't condone what Dylan did, not by a long shot. But the way Jus handled his redemption, talking about how some people just break when something traumatic happens. I don't know, that really got me and I suddenly did hate Dylan so much.

Series review;
This series was surprisingly good. When I first started, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. Interdemensional travel? Confusing! My only experience is the Family Guy episode Road to the Multiverse. But the way Jus went about it, gave us chunks of information and broke down the concept into Layman's terms, it made sense. The Alpha project was still a bit unclear. I'm not entirely sure what the whole goal was there.

Noah and Ash were my favorite POVs out of all the POVs that were offered. There were just something about them that worked. They clicked so well together, even though Noah was putting up one hell of a fight. Their love for each other and their will to keep on fighting just made my heart melt.

Overall, this series was good! I need to own it, simply for the beautiful covers. Seriously, props to whoever did that. But anyway, if you are looking for an easy to read interdemensional travel book with romances that will make your heart swoon, then this series is the one for you.

I was really looking forward to reading this book. Sadly, it just wasn’t for me. The potential was there but I feel as though it didn’t go in the direction I thought it would.

Another Great read by Jus Accardo. Well written, with a great plot and characters. This book is just as good as the rest of the series. I absolutely love it. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

Received in exchange for a honest review.
THis was a great way to end the series. It has that opening to do more books but all the issues were resolved and questions answered.
Here we see how unhinged Dylan became when he lost the woman he loved. We see why he did all he did but we also see a human compassionate side as well. He sacrificed in the end and that was really heartwarming to see.
G was one you felt for. He went through so much and what was happening to him was horrible. I loved how he was able to fight it off and find his way to Sera. He was strong and on a journey to become more than what that Alpha program was and did to him.
Sera was strong and caring. I hated seeing her going through things with Dylan but you could tell she also understood his pain. She saw his compassion in the end after everything went down and he did what he did.
the story is fast paced and constantly thrusting you in the danger with the characters as G and the others chase Dylan down to save Sera and capture him. All the while they are running from the woman who wants G and Sera and G is racing against time due to what was done to him. We get a great resolution to it all and we have are heart become warm and fuzzy but also see the potential for more books in the future.

I could not get into this book so I ended up listing it as did not finish. The writing wasn't clicking properly for me.

You would think after 2 of these books I would have a better way of describing them haha.

But my original opinion still stands. This series is just beyond good. And once again I was drawn in. I wanted to know what was going to happen with Sera and G so bad, and found myself sneaking my kindle out ant=y chance at some free time I got to keep the story going.

there was so much action and edge of the seat suspense. And I loved every fast paced minute of it.

The idea of Alpha intrigued me so much, and I really enjoyed the big reveals and craziness surrounding the program. As experiments go. It was by far some wicked craziness haha.

And once again I find myself giving one of these stellar books 5 stars!

Thank you for providing me a copy of this title, I am usually a big fan of Jus Accardo and this series but I found this book to be repetitive, too much was happening and the characters became lackluster and quite boring, I found myself skimming through the flashbacks and just wanting to get to the ending.

This series had potential but unfortunately the final book didn't wow me unfortunately.. I couldn't fault Jus's crisp writing but these books weren't for me at this time. I may revisit this title in the future.

I know I say this a lot because sometimes words just fail you but---- OMG!!!!!! The Infinity Division far exceeds my preconceived notions for this series. This series is an unsung hero in the YA sci-fi realm. I laughed, I cried, and I hurt. I'm not sure whether my aged heart is just so sensitive or even as a teen I would have been touched by the powerful emotions- but either way, I'm a mess.

Alpha maybe the end of the line but it will never be far from your mind. Like many other YA series before it, it sparks the mind and opens it to possibilities but the true making of a long lasting love affair with a book...the characters. These characters aren't a 2 dimensional being. They are living breathing flawed people. They are family. They become the readers family and that right there makes them eternal. I, along with others , will share my love for the flawed revenge plot that led to mass murders and drastic plans to save a girl from utter termination through out the multiverse. I have already shared my love with my teens and hope that they too will pass on the mind opening courage, love, and tolerance.

Alpha is a beginning. Remember that when you get to "the end", it has only just begun!

Alpha is the conclusion to The Infinity Division series. Every book has followed different characters but they’ve all had one thing in common, Dylan. Dylan is the brother of one of the main characters and he kind of goes off the deep end when his fiance dies prior to the first book. He uses his world’s technology to jump to various dimensions wrecking havoc, killing people he feels are responsible for everything bad in his life, and searching for his fiance, Ava, in the other dimensions. Alpha is sort of his story.

I say sort of because in the last book we met two people who had been held captive, as lab rats, for a high-tech company. One of the captives was G, which was that dimension’s Dylan, and Sera, who was technically Ava. When Dylan spots Sera, he immediately latches onto her, both literally and figuratively as his chance of finding happiness. So, while this story is technically about Sera and G finding their happily ever after, we do see a lot more of Dylan than we’ve ever seen in previous books.

There’s a lot that goes on in this book between finding out who G and Sera were before their time in captivity, running away from the people who run said lab, trying to outmaneuver Dylan, and find a way to not only survive but live a happy life. While there is a lot that goes on in this story, I found myself rather bored with it all. There were parts that would grab my attention, but then I’d just end up skimming again. Maybe it had to do with the fact that they kept skipping between dimensions and you could never get a grasp on what was happening. It could have been the fact that anytime a problem arose, there was an instant solution to it. I just never fully got into the story and found myself struggling to finish it.

I thought this series had a fresh spin on young love. I really enjoyed that these characters found their one true match in another dimension. The author even added in a dash of suspense with it all. However, in the end, I found myself struggling through it.

I am the queen of stand alone and companion novels and here I am, sad that I have to say goodbye to cast of a characters I’ve gotten to know over The Infinity Files.

Infinity, Omega, and now Alpha have all focused on different characters, though the same core characters have been through every book. Alpha focuses on G and Sera, who have been held captive and experimented in. Now free, they’re on the run from their past while figuring out their future.

This inter-dimensional story charmed the heck out of me, just as Infinity and Omega did. Jus managed to take characters who we have done unspeakable things and give them redemption while holding their accountable.

Of course, this wouldn’t be an Entangled novel without a smoking hot romance. Each of the couples is destined to be together, as shown over and over again through the different universes. G and Sera are no different, though they have the extra dynamic of both being plucked from their worlds and needing to start over.

I rarely miss characters once a book is over but I will miss each of the characters in this one. Except Cora, because she really has some karma coming to her!

Two years ago when I read Infinity I feel in love with these multiverses and the twisted plot line. There is so much going on, but it's well written and easy to follow. Throughout the series Accardo had done a wonderful job weaving together the different worlds with the characters we're following and their identical counterparts wherever they are. I loved that they were all different, no two Ava's were the same.

In Alpha, the conclusion of the trilogy, we finally get to know more about Ava, who goes by Sera in this book (which does get explained why it's a different name for her). The good Dylan goes by G (there is a reason, but mostly I'm appreciative so you can tell the difference between the two). There is quite a bit of backstory for Sera that is let out in pieces, and it's not all pretty.

Alpha is a wild ride through different worlds and different things. Lots of lies are told and alliances are forged and broken. I can't rave enough about this series and how much fun it was to read it.
