I really enjoyed this book and did not want to put it down. It was fast paced, with a unique story line. I also was surprised to find a little romance which is always a plus!
I seriously could not put this book down! All three of these books (hopefully there will soon be more!) are fabulous.
Great story! It was a very interesting story that you just can't put down. I loved this series.
