The entire BZRK cell--including Noah and Sadie--has been left in pieces after the last round of battle with the Armstrong Twins, conjoined brother who plot to rob mankind of its free will. Vincent's mind is shattered, and his memories hold dangerous secrets--secrets that Lear, BZRK's mysterious leader, will stop at nothing to protect.
Meanwhile, Bug Man has taken control of the President's brain, but playing with sanity is a dangerous game. The consequences can spiral way out of control, and the Armstrong Twins are not people Bug Man can afford to disappoint.
The nano is as terrifying, exhilarating, and unpredictable as ever. But the wall of secrets that surrounds it is cracking. What will it reveal? And once the dust has settled, who will be sane enough to find out?

I was shocking surprise that I enjoyed BZRK Reloaded as much as I did. It was definitely a step up from the sequel in every aspect. Book one turned out to be a disappointment for me, but consider how much I love Michael Grant as an author, I had to give the sequel a chance and I'm glad I did. I found this to be extremely fast paced and action packed. I finished reading it in a day and could not put the book down. I felt like the book didn't drag on and now I am very excited for the released of the final book!

Love The Hunger Games?  Action-adventure thrillers with a dystopian twist? BZRK (Berserk) by Michael Grant, New York Times best-selling author of the GONE series, ramps up the action and suspense to a whole new level of excitement.

Set in the near future, BZRK is the story of a war for control of the human mind.  Charles and Benjamin Armstrong, conjoined twins and owners of the Armstrong Fancy Gifts Corporation, have a goal:  to turn the world into their vision of utopia.  No wars, no conflict, no hunger.  And no free will.  Opposing them is a guerrilla group of teens, code name BZRK, who are fighting to protect the right to be messed up, to be human.  This is no ordinary war, though.  Weapons are deployed on the nano-level. The battleground is the human brain.  And there are no stalemates here:  It’s victory . . . or madness.

BZRK unfolds with hurricane force around core themes of conspiracy and mystery, insanity and changing realities, engagement and empowerment, and the larger impact of personal choice. Which side would you choose?  How far would you go to win?

This book was a really big disappointment for me, considering how much I loved Michael Grant's gone series. I didn't really go into this book with expectations, but I did have hopes that I would enjoy it because I enjoyed his other series. The book wasn't all bad, but I never really got into the story or connected with the characters. Half the time I really didn't even know or understand what was going within the story. The ending of this book is what save it from being a one star, but because I liked the ending, well enjoyed the action of it, I bumped my rating up to two stars.

It's been over a year since all the adults disappeared. Gone.
In the time since everyperson over the age of fourteen disap-peared from the town of Perdido Beach, California, countless battles have been fought: battles against hunger and lies and plague, and epic battles of good against evil. And now, the gaiaphage has been reborn as Diana's malicious mutant daughter, Gaia. Gaia is endlessly hungry for destruction. She yearns to conquer her Nemesis, Little Pete, and then bend the entire world to her warped will. As long-standing enemies become allies, secrets are revealed and unexpected sacrifices are made. Will their attempts to save themselves and one another matter in the end, or will the kids of Perdido Beach perish in this final power struggle?
Light, the sixth and final book in the New York Times bestselling Gone series by Michael Grant, creates a masterful, arresting conclusion to life in the FAYZ.

I fell in love with this series from the very first book and all the way up to this final installment! I am so sad to see this series end, and just like all the other books in this series, I could not put it down. I was dying to know how Michael Grant would end this fantastic series and I felt he did a wonderful job. I was so happy to be back into the world of the FAYZ and seeing all the  characters I loved and even the ones that I hated. This was an emotional ride for me and let me go ahead and admit that this book brought tears to my eyes! UGH, I'm so sad to see it end.
