Four months after Ben disappeared through the portal to his home universe, Janelle believes she’ll never see him again. Her world is still devastated, but life is finally starting to resume some kind of normalcy. Until Interverse Agent Taylor Barclay shows up. Somebody from an alternate universe is running a human trafficking ring, kidnapping people and selling them on different Earths—and Ben is the prime suspect. Now his family has been imprisoned and will be executed if Ben doesn’t turn himself over within five days.
And when Janelle learns that someone she cares about—someone from her own world—has become one of the missing, she knows that she has to help Barclay, regardless of the danger. Now Janelle has five days to track down the real culprit. Five days to locate the missing people before they’re lost forever. Five days to reunite with the boy who stole her heart. But as the clues begin to add up, Janelle realizes that she’s in way over her head—and that she may not have known Ben as well as she thought. Can she uncover the truth before everyone she cares about is killed?

I would probably say…no, I wouldn’t travel to a parallel dimension…because I’m a huge weenie! I personally am not sure adventurous and also I am a mom, so I’d be thinking of all the what if’s for me going into a different dimension. What if it’s dangerous? What if I can’t get back to our dimension? That sort of thing 🙂
I think the idea a parallel world is interesting and I would probably have to try and go. 😀 I am really hoping that I can start this series. Wonderful review. Thanks for sharing this.

I loved Unbreakable! I also loved the different side you saw of Barclay. Amazing review!
Wow Katie, Unbreakable sounds amazing! I love high stakes so I think I’ll love this book too.
Honestly, it depends on a lot. If I had time to leave a note to my mom, if I wouldn’t be gone for too long, if I could go during the summer instead because its the end of my junior year and I have a lot going on, if I knew I could get back to my world, if I knew it wasn’t dangerous… As you can see I’m pretty wimpy and would only go if I knew it was safe.
Anyway thanks so much for the giveaway!
I probably would if I had the option of coming back… Thanks for the giveaway I can’t wait to read this! 😀
I would probably not travel to another dimension…unless they had mermaids. If they had mermaids I would probably check it out. 🙂
Probably.. only because curiosity would get the better of me and I would love to see whats on the other side! Though I may sound very adventurous.. I will have my little hesitation moment of ‘what if I never come back! o_O ‘.. But eventually I would take the risk! =)
I would not because I wouldn’t want to change life for other people. Or not be able to return.

This depends on if this other dimension would allow me to go to Hogwarts, Narnia, or Middle Earth….. 😛
I would have to say no…..who knows what I would mess up if I did!
I would go just out of curiosity of how the other dimensions of me is doing. I have to know.
I don’t know really, but I think it would be fun to travel to another world like in a book if it was just for a certain amount of time. I’d probably want to bring my family or friends or books. However, I’m pretty happy with where I live right now but I always wonder if there are other worlds “out there.” To me it’s interesting that we don’t know everything about “life” or whatever that means.
ooh you are making me SO excited for this! The ending of Unraveling was CRUEL and I am so happy the characters, especially the main protagonist, are as kick butt as always. Though I am not that happy about the need for tissues… Can’t wait to read this and thanks for the giveaway!

I’d take a peek and then scram!
I am absolutely fascinated by parallel universes. I’m always thinking about pivotal moments in life and asking myself where would I be now if I had done x instead of z. So if I could actually go to a parallel universe and see what life is like there, I would definitely do it :0)
No, I’m a big coward. I’d be afraid I couldn’t get back.
Hmm, if I could travel to a parallel world, I would. I’m sure I’d want to come back though. Grass is always greener and what not.
I would definitely travel to a parallel universe! It would be an awesome adventure, and when do we ever get the chance to do stuff like that? Can’t pass it up 🙂
Thanks for the review 🙂 I read the first and was a little disappointed…I hope I enjoy this one! I would probably not visit a parallel universe. I would be curious, of course, to see what a parallel universe looked like. But I’d be afraid to mess something up, the balance of the worlds or that I’d see “myself” and we’d implode. Or something along those lines 😀
I probably would. It sounds fun to be in another demension.
Definitely not. Who knows what would be lurking at the other dimension?
of course !!!! but only if i have not choice … ..or i saw a hot boy .. jajajaja

Yeah, as long as I could come back! Hopefully I’d be cooler in another dimension, haha!
I haven’t read this series yet, so I don’t know if it has to do with a parallel dimension or what kind of parallel dimension it speaks of, but since a parallel dimension could be pretty much anything at all, yes, I would definitely travel to one if I could. I think it would be super interesting and such an adventure to be somewhere where everything is completely different from what I’ve grown up with. Perhaps the world is upside down, or everyone is blue, or animals talk. Whatever it is, it would be soo cool. 🙂
For sure I would IF there was a promise I could get back to where I belonged. I would just that little safety net!!!
I truly LOVED this series and what I liked most about it was how kind Janelle was! She was tough and strong but she also cared very deeply and wasn’t afraid of acting on that nor did she see it as a weakness like so many other tough protaginists.
I saw on Goodreads that the third book will be out soon – do you have info on that? Or is it just Goodreads wishful thinking?
