Summary from Goodreads:
Powerful love comes with a price. Who will be the sacrifice?

Kami has lost the boy she loves, is tied to a boy she does not, and faces an enemy more powerful than ever before. With Jared missing for months and presumed dead, Kami must rely on her new magical link with Ash for the strength to face the evil spreading through her town.

Rob Lynburn is now the master of Sorry-in-the-Vale, and he demands a death. Kami will use every tool at her disposal to stop him. Together with Rusty, Angela, and Holly, she uncovers a secret that might be the key to saving the town. But with knowledge comes responsibility—and a painful choice. A choice that will risk not only Kami’s life, but also the lives of those she loves most.

This final book in the Lynburn Legacy is a wild, entertaining ride from beginning to shocking end.


Review

Sarah Rees Brennan really knows how to make me laugh and want to cry all within a couple of chapters.  Unmade was a truly fantastic, heart breaking, action-driven final book.  This is truly how series should end!

Similar to the first two books, I loved the relationships, friendships, family love, and overall story. The witty banter between Kami and Jared is the best it has ever been.  Kami is constantly coming up with funny nicknames for him that have me laughing out loud.  Even though I love the banter, I adore the fact that the friendships in the story are even stronger and player a bigger role in the plot than the romances.  Rusty, Angela, Holly, and Kami would really do anything for one another.  Their friendship is powerful, rare, and honest.  At times their love for one another and the risks they take will bring tears to your eyes.

Family is not always a common theme in YA literature and this series has it in spades.  Kami has such a strong love for her family and they all play a big role in the story.  The family adds depth to Kami's character and to the overall plot. As for Kami, she is a rock star hero who propels the fast paced, action packed plot forward.

There is humor, tragedy, war, and love within this last installment in The Lynburn Legacy.  I was completely taken by surprise by certain parts, I applaud Brennan for taking risks that while make for a tough read truly make the book a fantastic one.  I urge you to give this series a try, it is one of my all time favorites, it is fantastic beginning to end!

I love that this is so family-oriented. We need more of these family themes in YA. I think this is a series I would really enjoy but I've never gotten around to it. I might add this to my summer TBR!
Great review, Ashley! :)
