The third book in the Beyond Human series is quite interesting with thrills, romance and some very intriguing elements. Quinn and Melody are solid convincing characters that readers can relate to which makes it easy to become caught up in their story. The romance has an unusual obstacle to be overcome which keeps this relationship on pins and needles throughout the story no matter how strong this couple’s sizzling attraction is and since the stronger the attraction gets the harder Quinn and Melody try to keep emotions tucked in tight and keep their objectives in sight at all times. This keeps the sparks flying as well as keeping emotional turmoil flowing from the pages and ensures that readers want to know every last detail of this couples’ romantic journey to their happily ever after. Thrills and interesting elements keep readers turning the pages of this steady to fast paced and smooth flowing plot. First, Melody is from the future so that gives readers a word of possibilities for readers to imagine and adds to the adrenaline pumping atmosphere of the story and then there is the all the exciting events that keeps readers on the hanging on the edge of their seat, prison breaks, shoot outs, astonishing secrets revealed and a trip through time and space with some surprises along the way as well. Unfortunately, this series should be read in sequential order in order to get maximum understanding of the events taking place as readers may feel as if they have dropped into the middle (this would be me as I missed the first two), also while this couple gets their happy for now, the story ends on a cliffhanger so readers have to wait impatiently to find out what happens next.

I received a free copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review/opinion. 4-stars — OMG!! I mean, I totally knew this wasn’t going to be the last book in the series, and I know they always end with a lot of questions, but wow…it’s going to be seriously hard waiting for the next book, and I have NO IDEA what’s going to happen! This book went in a lot of different directions from the previous ones! It’s funny how the series started off feeling more urban fantasy, and has progressively been getting more sci-fi, particularly in this book. I mean, we’re dealing with a time traveller in this one! And time travel becomes a very central theme instead of just a side plot. And we get glimpses into 2000 years into the future, so we even see aliens!! I can’t say much more than that, but I really loved the things we discovered in those last few pages. It truly has me intrigued to find out more. As with the previous books, the action/suspense parts of this novel were fantastic. Quinn and Mel truly go on a wild ride in this one. And I thought the sci-fi aspects were done quite well as well! Time travel is kind of a mind-beep, and it can be so easy to get caught with inconsistencies and paradoxes, but quite a few of them were explored…and I don’t think I ended up confused at the end, which is always a bonus. I connected with both Quinn and Mel and their romance better than Sadie and Ethan in the previous book, but not as much as with Jake and Christa in the first. There was still just a little something missing to really suck me into the characters. Characters tend to be the biggest draw into stories for me, and so I notice it when I want something more. In non-contemporary books I at least have plot and world building to make up the difference, but I still want those characters. I think for both of them on the surface I got a lot of background on both of them, and what was driving them, but I didn’t *feel* it. But maybe that was just me. And as for the two of them together, again, I *definitely* felt the lust and attraction, but I had a harder time understanding the love so quickly. I understand that under extreme circumstances emotions can build faster, but I still didn’t quite buy it. Again, I did moreso than with Sadie and Ethan, but still wanted a bit more. As always, it was awesome to see other members of the Tribe and have them along on different parts of the journey. In this case Rose and Kaitlin were the main secondary characters… I wouldn’t have minded seeing more of the others, but I’m guessing I’ll get that in the next book. So yeah. Super duper intrigued by where this is all going, and it’s going to be hell waiting to find out what’s next. I can honestly say I didn’t see some of the answers coming, but they totally satisfied me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review by Morgen Late Night Reviewer Up All Night w/ Books Blog Uncontrollable is book three in the Beyond Human series by Nina Croft. This is a paranormal read full of mystery seamlessly entwined with a love story. It’s about finding the truth and doing what’s right no matter how hard that may be. Melody Lyons is an agent of the Federal Bureau of Time Management in the year 4012. The timeline is fragile, any anomaly could be catastrophic. Her father is the Captain of Operations, but she has worked hard to succeed on her own merit. She is clever, strong, independent, and has amazing self control. Quinn Sutherland is part of a covert group of telepaths that work for the British government, called the tribe. They were raised believing that they were helping the good guys bring about a world with no lies. However, he eventually learns that he put his trust in people who used him to gain more power. Now they’re on a mission to make things right. By the 41st century love is all but forgotten, and relationships are based on genetic compatibility instead of an emotional connection. Survival took precedence over feelings, and relationships became more akin to a business arrangement. He only ever spent one night with a woman. He didn’t believe he could ever find love because of his work. Mel goes on an assignment back to 2018 to find possible sources of an anomaly. While searching for any potential links she crosses paths with Quinn and his group. As soon as they gaze upon each other a connection is made. Each have a mission of great importance to accomplish, neither want a distraction. The more time they spend together the more they realize that their objectives might be connected, and the harder it becomes to deny themselves release. The action never stops, they’re being followed and attacked by unknown assailants. In a world where the government has telepaths secretly do their dirty work and time police blend casually into their surroundings, who can you trust? The story is told in third person giving a well rounded view of each scene. It allows the reader to see things that would otherwise be missed if they were only in one characters POV at time. It was a great decision and something I really enjoyed. The mystery had me at the edge of my seat. The twists were unexpected. The paranormal aspect was realistically done and added a little extra fun to the story. The angst was strong and everything I wanted. What truly drew me in was that even though they weren’t used to the intimacy, they both dove in head first, it warmed my heart. The passion coursing through her body ignited flames at his touch. They gave in to desire and sparks flew. Each touch was new and exciting something neither had felt before. My favorite part was that the author smoothly embedded background information throughout the story line, so that if this was where you started the series you didn’t feel lost and if you had read it was a refresher. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good mix of paranormal, mystery, and romance!
