The Lost Children Trilogy: Complete Series
This box set includes all THREE books in the Lost Children Trilogy by USA TODAY bestselling author Krista Street that reviewers have called, "the perfect mix of romance, mystery, action, and fantasy!" After waking up in an alleyway without a whisper of a memory, Lena begins an arduous journey west following an irresistible instinct. Armed with nothing but a tattooed symbol on her inner wrist, and the ability to see auras, Lena ends up in Colorado and quickly learns she's not alone.Seven other young adults converge on the same spot, and they're all just like her—strangers who woke up in random cities with missing memories, tattooed symbols, and unique paranormal powers.One, in particular, catches her attention. Dark-eyed, super-strong, and drop-dead gorgeous, Flint, moves with the speed of a tornado but is determined to avoid Lena's gaze. Yet something within her reaches for him, as if her soul knows he's her safe place.But safety is merely an illusion.Pooling together their scraps of memories and unique talents, Lena, Flint, and the rest of the gang discover their sinister, hidden origins—and it's not a pretty past.There are other lost children, locked away, unable to escape, and the clock is ticking. Because if Lena and her new family can't rescue all of the lost children in time—none of them will survive.

I will round 3 1/2 stars up to 4 stars for this. I read the entire 6-book series. The first 3 form a cohesive trilogy with the overall threat only being truly resolved in book 3. Books 4, 5, and 6 are more independent adventures featuring the same characters, with books 5 and 6 being told from different POVs than the first four.
Ever since I read Twilight I've been irritated with the fact that there were multiple interesting plot elements and it could have been a good story, but they are gunked up with a heavy layer of sexism and racism. This series delivered! We have multiple characters with different supernatural powers, who care deeply for each other, who work together as a family to help each other out, neutralize those who want to destroy them, and achieve their goals, all without sexism and outmoded relationship models. When MC Lena gets into an argument with her boyfriend because he feels she's taking too many risks and she feels he's being too overprotective, they compromise that she will discuss her ideas more in advance and that he will try to give her more credit and not immediately try to stop her. They talk about how they feel! They COMPROMISE! They have a functional relationship conversation! Catch Bella and Edward ever doing that.
These books were fun and an easy read.

Okay
I enjoyed the first book but I was disappointed with the final two. It got a bit silly in places and the main female protagonist’s repetitive needless angst was irritating. I think younger teenagers would be entertained though.

Excellent trilogy
Highly recommended read. Told from Lenas POV, who is a strong female lead. The trilogy has a solid storyline and the characters are well written. The mystery from book one unfolds throughout the trilogy. Flint her love interest is very protective of her even though she doesnt need it. Their love for each other shines through which I prefer in a storyline. I hate books where there is angst and one of the main characters cant seem to choose or the fact they take most of the book getting together. Lena and Flint are a solid couple throughout once they come to terms with their feelings in book one. The story is unusual where the characters come together in a small town, all led by a magnetic pull and have strange individual powers with no memory. Taken from their neglectful parents when very young, drugged and experimented on by mental scientists, they escape with their adoptive father and hidden from the world for years. It all comes to a head with lots of twists and a rollercoaster ride for all the characters. Sexual content so not suitable for young adults. This trilogy didnt seem to have much about it when I first read the blurb but dont judge it before you read it. It is actually a very good read and deserves the 5 stars for all 3 books.

I'd give this series 3.5 stars if I could. It started off great in Forgotten but toward the middle it started feeling like I was mucking through a bog. One thing that really annoyed me was Lena's internal dialogue of whether she was a good person or not because she hurt some people in defense of herself and her family. Of course she's not a bad person! Under the circumstances, who would be? When someone is trying to hurt you or a loved one, the gloves SHOULD come off- who even questions that? Especially for as long as she did... so annoying. Finally, she comes to her senses and things start rolling along again. I will say this is a great plot, it could easily be made into a movie. It's action-packed with plot twists and surprises despite the semi-stall toward the middle.
It ended nicely with everything essential to the story wrapped up in a bow. I read this series because I loved Krista Street's Makanza series, which I highly recommend if you like post-apocalyptic material.

Interesting
This is an exciting story filled with romance, mad scientists, and adventure. Although the story is in Lena's perspective, all the characters are well developed. Sometimes I was really curious what the others were thinking. Flint, for example, was so stand-offish that he seemed to dislike Lena. Of course, that couldn't be farther from the truth. Their father was another enigma. He continued to be mysterious throughout the story. I think my favorite part, besides the wonderful ending, was when they finally got their memories back.
The whole idea about the experiments causing the changes was interesting but it could have been explained a bit more since it is a lot of Science Fiction to be put in such a normal world. Especially with Luke, Edgar, and Susannah changing into animals.

One of the best series I've ever read!!!!!!
I will never forget these books! I lost my heart to these charges and their story in the 1st chapter and read the series, from book 0 to book 3, in a day and a half. I literally could not put it down. The luv and commitment this family has for each other is what family should be about always. Unfortunately that's not what it is like. The horrendous things they lived through the first 8 years of their lives should not happen to any living thing much less a child. What happened to them and what's still to come will keep you on edge of your seat to the last page. The writing is outstanding. The Chas fully developed and engaging. You will luv some and hate others. But you'll never forget them. Highly recommended.

What would you do if you woke up not knowing anything about yourself and then find out you are drawn to a whole group of people? In this series, Lena, Flint and the others all try to learn to deal with their lives after finding themselves together again after being rescued from a kidnapping research ring that led to some strange changes in them.
As they move through the series, they find more of them are still being held and then try to free themselves of the final evil they have all shared.
Street does a great job of developing the main characters and the surrounding characters. I really want Lena and her family to be free of their evil past, but are we ever truly free from our pasts?
I can't wait to read the next series.

Exceeded expectations!
I don't normally leave reviews but after reading this trilogy I felt compelled to. I have read hundreds, if not a thousand or more paranormal'ish e-books in the last five years of owning a Kindle.. while many were great reads by author's both new and familiar, this trilogy blew me away. I read all three full length novels over the weekend, so pretty much non stop other than when sleeping. I found myself feeling both sad to come to the end, and very satisfied with this read - individually and collectively,these e books were amazing and exceeded my expectations! AND ..I love that I found anew favorite author...

DNF at 69%
I can’t bear it any longer. The set up/mystery of the 7 amnesiac NAs with (not so super) super powers seems to get barely a mention.
Most of the book so far has been Lena obsessing literally non stop about Flint. Flint finally flipped from ignoring her (for some bizarre reason) to admitting he likes her. And now its all Lena obsessing about their new relationship. They apparently do a lot of talking til the wee hours (twue love) - but all the dialogue that’s actually written out is just horrendously awkward and not compelling.
This is just a trashy NA poo that been dipped in glitter to make it look like an intriguing fantasy. Boo!

Must read!
This is the third time I’ve read Krista Street’s The Lost Children series and I love it more each time. Throughout the books it’s hard not to fall in love with each character. With moments to make you sit on the edge of your seat, moments where your heart is overcome with intense happiness, and moments where you cry at the injustice of what happened. It’s an emotional roller coaster from the very beginning with mystery, conspiracy, and love along the ride. If you haven’t it read this series I have just one question to ask you.
What are you waiting for?!

The Lost Children Trilogy follows Lena on a journey where she has set off to discover who she is. Throughout the trilogy we followed Lena on her journey and it was a incredible fast paced, and mysterious journey. I very much enjoyed learning who the list children are, learning more about each of their individual skills and watched them practice and fine tune them. I love Lena and Flint. I enjoyed his character the most as well as Raven. Would love to see more of Raven later on. The narrator was fabulous and truly brought the story alive for me. She did well portraying all of the characters.

I was pulled into this trilogy from the first few chapters.
It was difficult for me to put the books down because the books have it all suspense, romance, mystery, danger, intrigue, and sci fi. Each character was well developed and were woven expertly into the story. The books did not disappoint me. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading science fiction and or romance.

Unputdownable!
I have a kitchen to clean, laundry to do,and a bed that I cannot make because I have been lying on it reading this book, which I could not possibly put down until I knew how it ended.
Do NOT start on it until you can make time to finish it. I am not kidding! You have to know the rest.
Recommended for all fans of science fiction, fantasy, and especially those privileged few who know and love The People.

A formulaic trilogy with few surprises. The plot is ok, the writing style well-suited for this genre. All in all, quite readable. I read only the first book, Forgotten, as I lost interest. Maybe it's just me, but I have read so many YA books where a group gathers, powers of some sort emerge, conflict ensues, all is revealed. I keep hoping to find a new take that grabs the reader and won't let go.

My review is based on the audiobook.
I absolutely loved this trilogy and did not want it to end. Book 1 started a little slow for me but it quickly picked up and I became invested in all of the characters. Watching them grow an discovering who they are was a wonderful journey. Books 2 & 3 kept the fast pace with lots of suspense. The narrator was excellent at bringing the story and charcters to life. I love the world that the author has created and look forward to more by this author

Surreal
From the first page in Book 1 to the last page in Book 3 Krista Street's writing pulled me in and kept me wondering what would happen next. The imagery was so real that I could empathise with each of the characters an d looked forward to learning about them. The final fight was so believable and horrific at the same time. I will definitely read more from this author!

Wow this series kept me captivated from start to finish. I really love how the Author brought the Characters and there unique gifts and stories out. I would love to see this made into a movie series. To me its right up there with the Twilight Series and Divergent. I would definitely recommend this read as a must read.

Creative and Full of Suspense
Not the usual kind of book I read but I kept coming back to it because I wondered what would happen next. The romance was just enough to make the story real and the question of how they would finally be able to be free to live normal lives. The story is unbelievable but its entertainment value can't be denied.

Makes you wonder
Well written books. The story of the lost children was very interesting . A little far fetched but kept turning the pages to see how and if they could ever be normal.

A good read!
I got completely wrapped up in the story. I cared about how it came out and had a hard time putting my tablet down. I was happy with the ending as well. Now I wonder what happens next to Galena and Flint, Jacinda and Luke, where Suzanna settles...

Great books!
This trilogy was great! I fell into this world and right away couldn’t get enough. I loved the characters, the powers, the story, everything. I wish the story had continued. It was definitely up there in a top 10 for my 2018!

Very good series. Lina wakes up with no memories and is search for answers, and meets up with others like her. As more is uncovered is uncovered about their past, the more dangers seem to be everywhere. The book was full of action, and a bit of romance. I enjoyed the trilogy from start to finish!

In hiding forever! No way!
The character were so visible especially with there it here powers. I really liked that the author showed the growth of the characters along with the struggle it took to master themselves and their powers.
