Overal Rating:

Strangers become allies. Lovers become enemies. And a destiny formed before birth unfolds.
Sawyer spent most of her life hunting the very thing she has now become. No longer the Watcher she once was, Sawyer struggles to make sense of her new identity. Though she now has the powers of a Carbon, she is also tied to the control Coleman has over all of his creations.
Desperate for help and answers, Sawyer travels to the United Isles with Max in search of an ally. Not only must she learn to harness her new abilities, she must find a way to mend a broken heart…if her past doesn’t kill her first.
The epic journey continues, and the war for the human race draws ever closer. Join the resistance in the next chapter of the Watcher Series.
Sawyer is on her way to the United Isles with Max in search of an ally but also to train her new abilities as a carbon. There is also the fact that she still has her real body alive and waiting for her, but she does not now yet how to do that.
The story is gripping and the characters get more developed than in the previous book. Nevertheless, secondary characters still remain one dimensional. There is plenty of action and some violence in this book that worked well for me, but should be taken into account for people not into it.
As a Young Adult book, there is romance and it is important within the story. Things get confusing here for Sawyer, but part of her heart problems will be important for the outcome. I am not into the romantic aspect of this kind of books, but accept it as an important part taking into account the public for this.
The fact that they are the only people left in the world was well explained in the first book, but it seems to have lost strength in this one. It was mentioned two or three times in the book, and each time it caught me almost by surprise. I think it would have helped to have more descriptions of the world, and more worldbuilding in general. There is a clear conflict in this book, it is just that I lost somehow a bit of perspective.
The narration was again quite good, with Chelsea Stephens and Steve Campbell transmitting the characters emotions and bringing them to life. Both narrators did a fantastic job, but in a couple of moments Chelsea Stephens did not clearly switch voices between character and narration. For the rest, it was an excellent experience for the listener.
I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by AJ Eversley. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

My name is Elena. Since I was a little child I loved science fiction and fantasy, and I can’t resist a good novel. In 2015, while wait I started to listen to audiobooks and I discovered the pleasure in being able to read while doing my daily tasks, so there’s always an audiobook playing on my phone. If you see me with my Bluetooth headphones on, please be gentle, I get easily startled.
I live with my boyfriend, which I met during my six-year stay in Belgium, four cockatiels, eight lovebirds, and a hamster in Madrid, Spain; and I like to spend my free time knitting and sewing while listening to audiobooks.
