A fitting end for a fantastic series! Suzanne is invited by Paige to go visit her adopted aunt who is throwing an early inheritance party. They stakes are high and the contests are competitive to see who is going to earn the right to some pretty big prizes offered by this multimillionaire who has decided to take a few people under her wing, but some of them not by choice. It was a fast pace run to the finish line with a super satisfying ending. I am sad there aren't going to be any more books in this series, but I am going to cherish all the memories.

I read them all
I've got to be honest. At some point I don't know why I continued to read these. The plots left much to be desired. However, I got to really like the characters and there was just something relaxing about a fluffy, easy read. It was something akin to reading a Nancy Drew when I was a kid. I'm not sorry to see this series go but I will miss the mindless entertainment they brought.

I’d have liked to see more of our old friends in the final book. The ending was spoiled at the very beginning of the book. Suzanne was just as insufferable as usual, but I’ll miss her. I’ll miss her friends and family more. It’s my own fault for feeling compelled to read them all; I’m glad it’s over.

Great Series
Excellent story to close the series with. I’m sad to it end but have enjoyed Susannne and company all these years. Start at the beginning and enjoy!

This was a very good read but if this is the end of the series, that makes me sad. I need to know how the next part goes.

I thought this was the end of the series, but it may not be. Having read all 58 of them, I hoped it wasn’t. Some are better than others, but none weren’t good.

finally
I was wondering how long this would go on for. Great story, and I, for one, liked this one more than most.
