The sequel I was not expecting but I loved it. Can't wait for the next one. This a series that was worth the read.

I just fell in love with this wonderful story and it’s wonderful characters. I just couldn’t get enough of it. I will most definitely be reading more books by this wonderful author.

Eve is a character you grow to love for her grit, for her nerve, for her tightly held dreams, and the tender heart buried beneath all the scars and toughness. She takes no prisoners, and won't be held down by anyone's rules, all while battling the entrapments that make her human. Things like hurt feelings, a desire for something more, a want of freedom, and at her lowest, revenge. I'm not saying there are those that don't deserve her rage, but there are certainly those that don't deserve the chances she gives them.

While Eve is our main character, there are plenty that share the spotlight. Take Wren. He was a Preme, someone from the higher floors, born and bred to be better than the rest, but he pushed back against that dictation. Still...he was someone I was constantly in flux over. I wanted to trust him. I wanted him to be the one for her... and yet, there were always these doubts lingering in the background, rearing their ugly head just when I'd grown comfortable. Then we have her Level 2 friends and fam... some more so than others. (*cough* like the misguided lovesick friend/traitor that I still haven't forgiven *cough*) Her own family was broken for SO MANY reasons, but the family she claimed, helped her be the strong person she was, while keeping what made her human alive.

This one is as much about breaking down Compound ELEVEN as it is untangling her true self. Ever since their return, her and Wren, she's been a tangled up mess. Her feelings locked away, frustration bubbling over, and her temper acting as a ticking time bomb. Her feelings are warranted, and I can't say misdirected entirely, but if she doesn't gain control, she's bound to lose more than she ever dreamed.

This book was such an exciting story in a great series! I loved getting into the world again and experiencing the thrilling story unfold.

Unraveling Eleven is the second installment in the Eleven Trilogy, the perfect dystopian read with tropes like found family, forbidden romance, banter,

It picks up right after the ending from Escaping Eleven, Wren & Eve have successfully made it to the above ground, it's challenging for them to find survival skills as they are new to the environment.

Due to that, they ended up going back to the compound. Their relationship was tested because of conflicts and Wren's instinct of protecting Eve.

It's understandable that Eve grew up in a rough surrounding, but her character was over-violent(?) that resulted in her making unwise decisions and creating unnecessary fights (yes, I'm talking about physical fights) whenever she's not satisfied with someone's action she'll choose violence over communication.

Thank you Netgalley for providing an Ecopy!

Unraveling Eleven is an excellent dystopian read! I was on the edge of my seat and could hardly put it down. Excellent world building and so many twists and turns it was riveting. Definitely a fantastic read and I highly recommend it!

Reviewing this will be tough without spoiling anything from book 1... But I'll do my best. Eve is still a badass, Wren is still his charming self, and together, they learn that the higher ups at Compound Eleven have known for years that the earth is habitable again. They also find out just how far those higher ups will go to keep it a secret.

And that ending... that was savage! Now I'm dying to get my hands on Ending Eleven! March can't come fast enough!

It’s 4.5⭐️.
It starts where it left off in book one with Wren & Eve out in the Earth, above the grounds to explore the wildness. The adventure becomes one hell of a situation and to cope from it they have to return back to the compound, but now they are well aware of all the lies authorities are feeding to the people. The things are needed to be set straight and that’ll require alot of patience, plotting, exploring.

The chemistry between Wren & Eve is incredible, the banter and love between them is so cute. They go through so much up and down in their forbidding romance. When Eve falls into darkness then Wren is all the hope she has. To mend her ways, she needs light and he is that light for her. Story has so many twists and turns that makes it so much interesting to read. I binge read this series and I’m really looking forward for the last installment, to see how this story ends.

Unraveling Eleven is a beautifully yet brutally crafted narrative that's nearly impossible to put down. It continuously unravels mystery after mystery with reveals that make the resulting suspense almost unbearable. Almost.

Jerri Chisholm is a magnificent worldbuilder and storyteller.and manages to create characters you want to root for -- and plenty you don't. I didn't know about this series before I picked up this review copy, and after this cliffhanger, I can't wait to read more.

No one word can describe this book! Like DAMN this book had me pull an all-nighter cause of all the action and drama. I was at the edge of my bed instead of my seat😂 The way the characters describe the world above made me laugh. Not that what I&apos;m saying what Wren and Eve go through is funny cause it wasn&apos;t. What happens to them, in the beginning, is crazy wild but because it made me think of the Croods when they find out that there is a whole other world in the world they live in and their reactions to everything new. And that&apos;s how Wren and Eve were, bewildered and in awe of everything they were seeing. Throughout this entire book, I just wanted to hug Eve. Everything current and everything that had happened to her over the years had finally broken her. But instead of letting it all out by crying it all out or talking to someone, she let it out through violence. Not that I blame her because I too do the same thing. Not that I&apos;m punching or beating people up but I do take my anger out on a wall or someone or completely ruin the room. And I know it&apos;s okay to cry but easier said than done. Same with Eve. She needed someone and she didn&apos;t have someone or she did but couldn&apos;t bring herself to tell Wren cause after years of keeping all that shit to herself and sucking it up it&apos;s not easy. And Wren I&apos;m not saying what he told Eve at the Oracle was ok but I do see where he is coming from. He too has had a horrible life and the revelations that this book gives us are shocking but he also had advantages Eve didn&apos;t have. He didn&apos;t have to worry about survival as much as Eve did. She had to become something she didn&apos;t want to survive. As you can see I have a lot to say but this is a review not some 5-page essay for school.😂<br>
Anyway, <br>

Thank you Entangled Teen and Netgalley for the eARC! <br>

(P.S And Jerri when I said don&apos;t kill Eve as Veronica did to Tris, I didn&apos;t mean that it was ok to practically kill the other character! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!)

Thank you Entangled Teen for sending me a copy of Unraveling Eleven by Jerri Chisholm. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I'm a little late to writing this review but damn what a way to write a sequel!! I was obsessed with the first book and with all sequels, you're always a little worried it might not live up to the hype. We end the book on SUCH a cliffhanger and it keeps getting better and better!! I don't want to give spoilers because everyone needs to read this ASAP but trust me when I say it keeps becoming more amazing.

Initial Thoughts
I don't read dystopian books enough but I really love this series so I was very excited to read book 2 in this trilogy.

Some Things I Liked
Continuity. I liked that this book picked up right after the events of book 1. Sometimes, sequels leave large gaps of time and I hate that because I want to know what happened right away after being left on a cliffhanger. Furthermore, I felt like this book was an excellent extension of book 1. It built off the concepts and gave us more but it didn't feel contradictory in any way.
The romance. I like the elements of first love and romance in this story. The main character struggles with trust and I think that theme is super important throughout this book and this series and their relationship feels realistic. They're in love but their relationship is far from perfect.
Dystopian concepts. I really liked the world building here. It's different than other dystopian books I've read but also has nods to the familiar notes I remember from The Hunger Games or Divergent.

One Thing I Wasn't Crazy About
While this book built up the world a lot, I feel like it didn't move the plot forward very much. We learned a ton but there was very little action.

Series Value
I'm excited to read book 3 in this trilogy. I hope that there will be more action and adventure.

Final Thoughts
I liked this book but it wasn't super exciting. It was more informative. I'd definitely keep reading.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Unraveling eleven through me straight back into the action. It was almost a year since I read the first book in the series, but there was more than enough context clues for me to get thrown back into the story with little to no confusion.

The pacing was a bit off at times and in some ways it felt like the story was moving backwards during this book. However, it there was still enough going on to hold my interest.

Overall, I did enjoy Unraveling Eleven and I look forward to read the final book in the trilogy.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Unraveling Eleven was dark, brutal, and completely captivating. As harsh as the story is, it also contains some heart-warming scenes, a few strong friendships, and a handful of loveable characters. Personally, I love its take on the dystopian genre! I would recommend it to YA dystopian fans, or anyone looking for a strong female MC!

Second installment in the Escaping Eleven series.

This book was a dystopian for sure. It made me think of series like Divergent and The Hunger Games. It also reminds me of Malice by Pintip Dunn. Another great book published by Entangled Teen.

This installment follows Wren and Eve after they have escaped compound Eleven. They come to see that even though it has cooled on the outside it is still hard to survive. So they decide to go back down even though Eve is regretting is so.

We see a lot of growth from Eve and Wren in this one. I love seeing how the characters learn to let some things go and also learn to think of others. They try their best be to be better people despite their obstacles.

The book was such a page turner and makes you crave for more. It ends on a cliffhanger and I can not wait to get my hands on the next one. I need to see how this amazing trilogy ends.

Thank you so much to Entangled Teen and Netgalley for the Advanced Readers Copy!!!

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Jerri Chisholm is SO insanely talented. It's impossible to put into words exactly how much I adore their writing.

This series was so good. I could NOT stop reading from page one. The storyline is unique and easy to follow.

I didn't see some of the twists that came which made it all so much better.
I cannot wait to read more by this author.

I enjoy Jerri Chisolm’s world so much! It brings me back to all of my 2010’s love of Dystopian books when that was the hot topic that everyone was writing about. And in all honesty, that’s one of the keywords that make me want to pick up a book. If it says Post Apocalyptic or Dystopia, I’m all in!

I don't think I liked this one as much as I liked the first one, but I think I'm still interested enough to see what happens.

This book is what I like to refer to as a "transition book." A transition book puts a lot of info in there as a way to set up for the next book, which usually has the main event. There is action in this installment, but it seems it was there to just provide motivation or lay some groundwork for future actions. Honestly - anyone that died in this book really made no impact other than the fact that it made Eve feel some type of way.

Also, I don't like when couples break up just for something to do. There was no point in this break up because they didn't stay away from each other and just continued to bat their eyes at each other. It was just filler. Again - forget illustrates my point that this is a transition book where nothing really happens.

It did hold my attention enough and I do want to see what eventually happens so I guess it's 3 stars, but I was disappointed in this one after liking the first book.

This is a compelling series, the characters are well written and I really enjoy seeing how the compound culture works. In this second book the author delves more into that as we see more characters from the upper floors. The power structure and struggles are so well written and this book really shows more of that. I also appreciated showing Eve struggling with everything she was learning and how this effected all of her personal relationships. There were some really well written twists and seeing her react to these was great. I do still find the series a bit predictable particularly if you enjoy dystopian books, but well written enough to still be compelling. This book does also suffer a little from middle book problems, the big cliff hanger ending left a lot unresolved.so I am really excited to see how this all ends but also wish this had felt more like its own part of the story and not just the big lead up to the last book. Overall still would recommend this series.

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. This is the second book in the series and it picks up where book one left off. This one takes us with Even and Wren as they escape the Compound. They need to figure out how to expose the leaders' lies to the rest of the community and the risks and dangers that they are going through. This book shows more of what the world is outside of the Compound. This book does end on a cliffhanger and leaves one wanting more. This book had me on the edge of me seat and I am excited for book three.
