Having really enjoyed Need I was looking forward to this and seeing what happened next. But I have to say this wasn't quite what I was expecting. Instead, it seemed to go in a completely different direction that totally surprised me!

I wasn't sure about the introduction of Astley at first. I loved the dynamic between Zara and Nick and the rest of the group and I was concerned his presence might change that. However, I found that Astley really grew on me and by the end of the story I couldn't imagine it without him in it. I do hope he is as 'good' as he currently seems.

Again I loved all the supporting characters (Issie, Devyn, Nick, Betty etc) and Cassidy was an interesting addition. I'm really keen to see how she progresses in future installments.

One thing I really must mention is that I LOVED how Carrie Jones took risks with this. As I said at the beginning this did not go in the direction that I thought it would - instead in went in a whole different direction that I would never have considered and I applaud the author's decision to do so. I have the feeling it will really pay off in the next book and I can't wait to see how this all turns out.
