Reviews

[Milly Hawkins]

I found this book enthralling and thought it was a wonderful way to finish the series. I enjoyed this book the most out of the series because I found 'Agent Orange' the most interesting outrageous individual. It has realistic characters with a gripping plot that keeps you guessing until the end.

[Martin Dagarin]

Very interesting book, didn't expect the bad guy, but it has happy end, but not well written, I would like to know what happens next
