I had the honor and privilege of beta reading UnBeloved. Once again, Madeline has done IT. God, I missed her brilliance as an author.UnBeloved is the fourth book in the UnDeniable Series, my all-time favorite series, and one of the most anticipated new releases of the year. I said it after book 3, UnAttainable, and I need to say it again- each book in the series just keeps getting better and better. There is NOTHING disappointing about UnBeloved. It is sheer brilliance and everything we have come to expect and love from Madeline. Madeline will pull you in and you will not put your Kindle down until you finish. She pulls me in EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I finished in one day and I bet a lot of you will too.UnBeloved is the story of Dorothy, Jase and Hawk told as ONLY Madeline can tell it. It is the story of the choices we make in life and how they affect both, us and the ones around us. All 3 of them have made choices- choices that weren’t the best and choices they may regret- but they made them and have to deal with the consequences.To me, UnBeloved is a little different than the other books in the series in a way, which I will not get into as I don’t want to give anything away. But I will say that it is EVERYTHING we have come to expect from Madeline. You will fall in love with her brilliant writing, her witty sense of humor, her lovable characters, her amazing stories- all of it- all over again. One minute she had me laughing or smiling as I pictured her writing the scenes and lines and the next she was tugging at my heart and emotions as the characters went through turmoil or emotional scenes. I felt myself wanting to reread it as soon as I finished.Is it normal to be SO invested in book characters? To feel like you want to know them, to live with them and be a part of their club? To feel so emotionally for them? To love watching them as their lives progess and see what they go through? I don’t know and I don’t care. All I know is that Madeline’s writing does that for a LOT of us. Madeline, her writing and her characters have touched a lot of us in so many ways and I know after reading UnBeloved you will be in awe of her once again.Call in sick. Get a babysitter. Forget life for the day. Do whatever you need to do. Just read UnBeloved on release day. THE WHOLE THING. You will NOT regret it.And by the way, do you think it is too early to start bugging her for the next book? I can do that if you like.
