Linden surprises us all by becoming more helpful than we ever imagined. Add in Linden, Cecily and their baby, and well things are about to get exciting. Of course though, the fact that she’s under Vaugh’s watch again, likely she’ll never get free of him, we know that it’s going to be a roller coaster. First is the one where Rhine knows what Rowan’s doing and needs to get to him to understand why he is doing it, what their parents were trying to accomplish and hopefully have a better last few years since the hope for a cure is lost. Throughout this final installment to the series, there are a few plot lines to follow. I feel there are so many questions that it’s likely that we eon’t get a full resolution for all of the characters but i think that at least we know that Rhine is dead set on finding her brother and getting him to stop what he’s doing. There’s so much going on in this series so far that you really don’t know what to expect. In this breathtaking conclusion to Lauren DeStefano’s Chemical Garden trilogy, everything Rhine knows to be true will be irrevocably shattered.

But what she discovers along the way has alarming implications for her future-and on the past her parents never had the chance to explain. Meanwhile, Rowan’s growing involvement in an underground resistance compels Rhine to reach him before he does something that cannot be undone.

While Gabriel haunts Rhine’s memories, Cecily is determined to be at Rhine’s side, even if Linden’s feelings are still caught between them. However, the people she left behind refuse to stay in the past. After enduring Vaughn’s worst, Rhine finds an unlikely ally in his brother, an eccentric inventor named Reed, and she takes refuge in his dilapidated house. With time ticking until the virus takes its toll, Rhine is desperate for answers. Time is running out for Rhine in the conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Chemical Garden Trilogy.
