I put the ratings up when you asked for them. The 3 books in the Button Jar series are like one big book. The story would make more sense if you read Saving Grace first.

RETURN: I gave 5 stars to Hidden Currents by Christine Feehan so I have chosen Water Bound

EXCHANGE: I gave five stars to Already Dead by Jaye Ford. One of the "Readers Also Enjoyed" titles is Someone Like You by Victoria Purman
