My Review

The series just gets better and better. The characters are becoming old friends and it's really interesting watching the different relationships develop. Noelle Holten has a knack of tapping into raw emotions and her realistic, sometimes almost too realistic!, descriptions draw you into the scene. The result is that you end up thinking about the story long after you finish the last page. I really enjoyed this book but I'm glad I don't live in the author's mind.
