Book Blurb
Ava Michaels is gifted, powerful, and — whether she likes it or not — part of a plot to take over the world.
It’s only been a few months since Ava Michaels discovered she has ties to an ancient people living in the shadows of the human world, despite their superior gifts and abilities. A select few don’t like hiding, however, and think it’s time to take control.
Now Ava’s caught up in a conspiracy in the works before she was even born. In fact, her birth was an integral part of the plan. She’s one of the Twelve, the most powerful Race ever created, and they were created for a purpose.
Turns out, Ava doesn’t like being told what to do.
All she wants is to start a new life with her boyfriend, Caleb Foster, but before they can even think about that, they must join forces with former enemies, seek out some powerful new friends, and figure out what exactly the Twelve, and their power-hungry leader, are up to.
Then, they have to find a way to stop them.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
In book three of The More Series, Ava and Caleb are back. The battle between the Council and the Rogues is continuing. Ava and Caleb are out rounding up those that need refuge. They are taking them to the Colony for protection. However, Ava’s headaches are getting worse and she has been keeping it from Caleb. She refuses to be left behind when fighting the Rogues. She needs to be there to protect Caleb if she needs to.
When they are rounding up those they feel are in danger, they are surprised when they find Sophie and realize she is a member of the twelve. After finding her the search begins for the remaining ten. Eva and Caleb know that Elias Borre has a master plan that includes the twelve he created. There is a race against time and evil. Ava has to make some tough choices to save the ones she loves. Caleb is going to have to trust her no matter what. She is hoping that what she has to do doesn’t ruin everything she has.
This book brings the series to a close. The odds were really against Ava, Caleb and the Guardians. Borre had been planning this for years. He was able to use others’ gifts for himself. He planned for every possibility. Ava couldn’t surprise him. He could sense her and knew he had thought of everything. Of course he underestimated his children’s loyalty. They are a force to be reckoned with whether working with him or against him.
This book continued the complex relationships the author started with the previous books. Caleb’s relationship with his mother was strenuous at best. The relationship between his mother and father was the definition of complicated. Then there was the unstable relationship between the Council and Ava. These relationships made the decisions for the characters a big part of the plot. How they related to each other created an intricate dance that enabled the situation to advance to the point it had. They all had to work together to face a common enemy.
The battle was emotionally charged and vicious. Major sacrifices were made in order to do the right thing. I wish the author would have revealed more about the twelve after the fact at the end. This book, however, was a great addition and ending to a great series. I give it a 4 out of 5.
