Thanks, BJ & D.G. :)D.G. - I started to read the series on a dare from a friend and I just couldn't stop until it was over. It was one of those train wreck books: I didn't want to keep reading, but I had to know what happened next.

I guess that why she dared you!
Something similar happened with a book I was reading recently. The beginning started well but the middle was all out of control with whiny characters acting crazy. I almost didn't finish the book but continued because I wanted to give a scathing review...but then the end was really good! I was glad I kept up with it. ;)
Great job, Katherine!!!!!
