can i just say, Gregory!??
I still haven't gotten over that middle name. With colton as a first name, i expected something a little bit more orginal.
This book was soo much better than the last one, I was relieved to find out. Roxanne St. Claire is too good an author to ruin herself by continuing the bad pattern that could have started after Shiver of Fear.
Maybe it was because we already knew the characters of this book and were expecting something to happen between them. Regardless of the reason, this book was very interesting with quite a number of twists added to ensure that we really couldn't see the end coming.
(view spoiler)[ personally, I'm still wondering if Cara blew up with the bomb because that part was very unclear to me.
Speaking of the bomb... talk about a random twist in the book. Definately one of those that came out of nowhere and led to nothing. Was that really necesary!? She had already confused us enough by making all the clues point to jollene, but to have Cara not only be evil but a bomb expert as well was a bit too much for me to swallow.
Throwing Gabe in there as the Blue-Eyed Angel was enough.
Although she gave that one away by focusing too much on his eyes. Or maybe she did that so we were reassured that nothing bad was going to come out of this stranger.

What Lang said about him and Vivi at the end was true... they really do make a good team.
I think that is one of the reasons this book turned out so well.
When the main characters are woking together that well, you can't help but strap yourself down and enjoy the ride.
(view spoiler)[ Although I would have liked to find out what had happened to the kids that Colt and Gabe ran into. And of course, would someone please tell me about the little girl from the boat. Since she wasn't mentioned in the epilogue I would have to assume that Vivi didn't adopt her. (hide spoiler)]
Finally, a word of advise for Roxanne St. Claire. I really do think that she should end the series here and move on to other books. Yes, I would love to hear more about Gabe and Chessie, but i feel like adding any more books to the series would ruin it. She had a good thing going with the books about Vivi and Zach and she should stop there. Maybe write a book that isn't followed by 10 more.
