It's been five-years since the release of Shudder, the second book in the Stitch Trilogy and I was a tad nervous going in. How much would I remember with over 1,000 books read between them? I needn't have worried, Samantha Durante quickly pulled me back into this nail-biting science fiction dystopian with Struck.

From the concept to the resistance I've enjoyed this trilogy. We have the Resistance, Paragon, and deadly creatures.  Weave in propaganda and secrets on both sides and you've got the makings of an intrigue storyline.

“But how can we continue to keep this from everyone?” Janie interjected. “It’s not right. They deserve to know!” she hissed.

Alessa shrugged in defeat.

Yes, she thought, just like Isaac deserves to know that his brother might still be alive – but she couldn’t bring herself to say anything about that, either, knowing the guilt would eat him alive. She at least had to be sure first. She had to know it was really Joe.

Alessa's mother leads the resistance but recent events have her questioning everything and planning a revolt. I loved all the twists and the unexpected development that shake the core characters. We learn more about events in Paragon and see examples of the propaganda those in charge share. The tale was addictive and perfectly paced.

I loved getting the different POVs and from both sides. For me it helped amp up the suspense and shock. Science fiction elements, and strong characters added to the intense storyline. The author made the story feel plausible, and developments within Paragon felt all too real.

As cool as the concept and world-building was, it was the characters who stepped up, sacrificed, and allowed me to become emotionally connected. I laughed, got angry and cried. Yep, I cried.

If you haven't yet discovered the Stitch Trilogy, now is the time to devour the series. Shudder delivered on the ending and I'd like to go back and read the trilogy all over again. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer

I've waited a long time to read this last book in the Stitch Trilogy. I loved this series from the first book. It was so unique and had so many twists and turns that kept you reading. Guess what? Things haven't changed in this third book: It's still has so many unique things in the story line and the the twists just keep on coming.

It took a few chapters to fall back into this dystopian world, after all, it's been five years since I've read book two in this series; but I became immersed once again in the world that Samantha Durante has created. I remembered all of the characters I grew to love and even welcomed back those who weren't my favorite. Of course I love Alessa and Isaac the most and I also was happy to have Janie and a few others back that I want to keep a secret. With such great writing the story races along at a great pace. There were no dull moments for me as the rebels continued to fight Paragon. Book three was exciting and was a fantastic ending to this trilogy. I know I want to read all three books again without the long time period I waited between the books being written. If you like the Dystopian and Sci-Fi genres, you need to put the Stitch Trilogy on your To-Read list immediately.
