The Unbound

Archived Series, Book 2

By: Victoria Schwab

Narrated by: Piper Goodeve, Gabriel Vaughan

Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books.

Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive.

Last summer, Mackenzie Bishop, a Keeper tasked with stopping violent Histories from escaping the Archive, almost lost her life to one. Now, as she starts her junior year at Hyde School, she's struggling to get her life back. But moving on isn't easy - not when her dreams are haunted by what happened. She knows the past is past, knows it cannot hurt her, but it feels so real, and when her nightmares begin to creep into her waking hours, she starts to wonder if she's really safe.

Meanwhile, people are vanishing without a trace, and the only thing they seem to have in common is Mackenzie. She's sure the Archive knows more than they are letting on, but before she can prove it, she becomes the prime suspect. And unless Mac can track down the real culprit, she'll lose everything, not only her role as Keeper, but her memories, and even her life. Can Mackenzie untangle the mystery before she herself unravels?

I loved it and I wish it never ended!

There was nothing I disliked about it but one thing. I wish it was wayyyyyyyyyyy longer.

Great book

I really liked listening to this audio book. I liked the story a lot. I will definitely be listening to more of this authors books.

My new obsession

I’ve loved everything I’ve ever read of Victoria’s, but I literally devoured both of these in two days. I am so obsessed with this series. The reason why I put this off for so long, is because I knew book 3 was out there somewhere with no release date in sight, and I didn’t want to *do that* to myself. I hate waiting! I hate cliffhangers! I will say though, that this concludes nicely and I don’t regret reading the series for a second. It definitely leaves you wanting more, but I doubt I’d ever feel satisfied with having enough of this series. I am in love with this world and all of its characters. Thank you once again Victoria for something new to obsess over.

I wanted it to get better

Narration awful, it hurts me to say I loathed the storyline because I liked her other works. I hung in for the entire book & it wasn’t worth it.
