      Since she’d been on the outside, she’d survived an Aether storm, she’d had a knife held to her throat, and she’d seen men murdered. This was worse. Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland - known as The Death Shop - are slim. If the cannibals don’t get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She’s been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He’s wild - a savage - and her only hope of staying alive.

This was another book that has been sitting in my wish list for a while that I have been putting off and once again I’m glad I finally got around to reading this one. I was surprised with it and enjoyed reading it. It was a little slower and I did get a little board at times and kind of lost trying to keep up with it bouncing around but overall it was good. Once it set up the story line I was able to follow better. I liked the different way this book took on a post-apocalyptic YA story  with plenty of action, emotion, and adventure.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a YA Dystopian story, but be prepared for a cliff hanger that will make you want to jump right into the next book.

It's been months since Aria learned of her mother's death.

Months since Perry became Blood Lord of the Tides, and months since Aria last saw him.

Now Aria and Perry are about to be reunited. It's a moment they've been longing for with countless expectations. And it's a moment that lives up to all of them. At least at first. Then it slips away. The Tides don't take kindly to former Dwellers like Aria. And the tribe is swirling out of Perry's control. With the Aether storms worsening every day, the only remaining hope for peace and safety is the Still Blue. But does this haven truly exist?

Threatened by false friends and powerful temptations, Aria and Perry wonder: Can their love survive through the ever night? In this second book in her spellbinding Under the Never Sky trilogy, Veronica Rossi combines fantasy and sci-fi elements to create a captivating adventure - and a love story as perilous as it is unforgettable.

This book jumped right into where it left off with plenty of action. I was worried that like every 2^nd book in a series this was just going to be a book of fluff building up to the 3^rd book. Thank goodness is wasn't. It had just as much action, some heartbreak which is bitter sweet. It’s always sad to lose a character especially of how it effects other characters, but at the same time it keeps the book more realistic of not having life be perfect. The book had some romance but not over the top and like the heartbreak, it was realistic. I also like how this book had a lot more character development with the main characters but also with some to of the other characters as.

I would also recommend this book as well. This series is becoming one of my favorites. If you read this book make sure to have the next book as well. As soon as I finished I immediately started reading the third book. It left on a bigger cliff hanger. I was glad I decided to pick up both the 2^nd and 3^rd book at the library so I could read them so close.

 The race to the Still Blue has reached a stalemate. Aria and Perry are determined to find this last safe haven from the Aether storms before Sable and Hess do - and they are just as determined to stay together. Within the confines of a cave they're using as a makeshift refuge, they struggle to reconcile their people, Dwellers and Outsiders, who are united only in their hatred of their desperate situation. Meanwhile, time is running out to rescue Cinder, who was abducted by Hess and Sable for his unique abilities. Then Roar arrives in a grief-stricken fury, endangering all with his need for revenge.

Out of options, Perry and Aria assemble an unlikely team for an impossible rescue mission. Cinder isn't just the key to unlocking the Still Blue and their only hope for survival - he's also their friend. And in a dying world, the bonds between people are what matter most.

In this final audiobook in her earth-shattering Under the Never Sky trilogy, Veronica Rossi raises the stakes to their absolute limit and brings her epic love story to an unforgettable close.

This book was a great finish of a good book series. It was nice to have all three books be enjoyable and not be hurriedly written with a bad ending as it seems most books have gone to. I will say this series is in my top 10 of favorite YA book series to read. It kept a fast pace plenty of action and twist and turns. A bit predictable but most books are this one was at least fun.

If you haven’t read them yet I would highly recommend them.
