I read your first book...'loved it'...[but was not crazy about the ending:],....

unless>>>> Ryan comes back at `some` point in your books....

I'm half way through 'The Likeness' {i read a couple of other books first, even though I had this one}, and love this book too>>>> `but` I am still sad (missing), not having Ryan around.

Are you going to bring him back? Have Ryan and Cassie connect again? They were too good of friends to just `drop-off` the way they did. (it didn't work well). Even the SEX they had would not have damaged their friendship F O R E V E R.

Tana, you need to leave `your` intimacy issues out of story where it does not fit with the story you are writing. (imo) ....

and........I think you are GREAT.....
but bring RYAN back. He was an interesting character.
You can still keep Cassie as the narrative voice if you prefer.

cheers to you on your excellent work and success.
