I am so glad that I started reading this series after the first 3 books were written because the author left us wanting more and I was happy i didn't have to wait for the next book to be written. Again an excellent story and the charaters are lovable and you are rooting for them to make it. ...more

i really like this book the action is good and it has a plot i believe in. And also hints and suggest at things that if carefully read foreshadow what will happen in the next book if you keep a close eye you can see little subtle hints. on the negative side = creepy incest
