After watching their world come crashing down around them, Amber, Remy, Rylen, Tater and their new friends now are heading to what they hope will be safety. Their spirits are rattled and they know that the long trek ahead of them is not going to be easy. But what waits for them could save their lives. Once the truth is known about the destruction of their world, it’s about to get a lot more complicated.
I enjoyed this book more than the first one. So much so that it only took me a day to read it. The chemistry between the characters was intense and I wanted to keep reading to see what Amber and Rylen were finally going to do about it. Once that moment came, wow. The heat was on! Then Wendy Higgins ends the book and I have to wait for book 3!! Ugh!! But I know I will be ready for it when it’s done. Thank you Wendy Higgins for introducing me to your books and the dystopian world in Unknown. I’m ready for more!

About Unrest:
Being on the run in the desert means food and sanctuary are hard to come by, but Amber Tate and her crew are not about to give up. Not after having so many of the things they love brutally ripped from them by an unknown enemy who sent their world into the apocalypse.
Survival takes precedence, but once safe shelter is found, their guards fall and the emotions they’ve been holding in are finally released. Anger, insecurities…lust. In their tight quarters, Amber, Rylen, Tater, and Remy can’t escape it. The past must be faced, and passions run even stronger in the darkest of times.
In the midst of unrest, their worlds are rocked again when they discover the truth about the war that’s ruined their lives. They thought finding out the enemy’s identity would give them the edge; instead it’s revealed terrifying dangers they never thought possible.
Exclusive Excerpt:
Remy put her head on my shoulder and I got a small but distinct whiff of chocolate.
“I might have to lick you, Rem,” I blurted.
Both Tater and Rylen turned to us, nearly cracking heads in the process.
“She smells like chocolate,” I explained. Tater shook his head and faced forward again. Ry gave me one last bemused look before turning back too.
“Hey,” Remy whispered. She raised her free hand to my face, and to my shock, there was half of the tiny candy pinched between her finger and thumb. “I saved half for you.”
My heart lurched with emotion. “Are you serious?”
She nodded and her chin quivered as she raised the M&M to my mouth and fed it to me. She licked her fingers off while I savored the tiny morsel. My eyes watered as I crunched down and Remy said, “Good, right?”
A second later we were hugging and crying all over again.
“We have to save our water,” I choked.
She sniffled and let go of me to wipe her face. “No more crying.”
