Reviews

[Roberto Galindo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very contradictory in the main character. Girlfriend can't stand a man, is 30 and single but suddenly falls flat on her face for a stranger. Nah, no creativity in building the characters. Too predictable. Classic puritan life and that is nice to read. Not a bad ending.

Book 3 of a series. Good.

My copy is six cassette by Recorded Books, unabridged with this cover.

This is definitely not my favourite book. I am so mad at this book right now, I don't even know what to say.

[Kelsy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Boring. It was more telling than showing, and I skipped a little in the middle. It wasn't terrible, but not great, either.

[Meg · Rating 3 out of 5]

My favorite book of the series. I love the action and adventure of this 3rd book.
