A very nice, neat, and tidy conclusion to an engaging series
This book stands out for several reasons, not the least of which is we finally learn what happened to Stacy.s mother.
It’s also quite notable for what it lacks. I’ve grown quite fond of Isabel Campbell’s writing style, as I’ve said in other reviews. This book however lacks most of her signature style since, in order to bring this series to conclusuIion, it was necessary, I’m sure, to trim out those narrative sections that revealed so much about the characters. What comes to mind is the now ancient TV series, Dragnet, in which the character, Joe Friday, would almost certainly say at least once each episode, “Just the facts, please. Just the facts.” Because that’s what we have here… just the facts.
This isn’t a bad thing, however, by any measure. There is simply so much information that we, the readers, NEEDED to know, and there are only so many pages/words available to convey that info. Given the choice, I would much rather have all the answers over one or two additional insights into characters I’d already come to love, and Ms Campbell delivers that with a flair of excellence.
Now, I must say that I know with certainty that this is not permanent change in her style. Having read the first book in her new series, I csn guarantee that everything you love about her storytelling is on full display there.

It seemed like an abrupt and actually not complete ending. Some things were wrapped up, but many left still in the breeze. I was also surprised at quite a few editing issues. Overall, a good series and worth the time to read.

I have enjoyed each of the books in this series and this. Book is no exception
Good characters with sufficiently evil antagonists and plenty of plot twists make for a story I didn't want to put down

Great series. Good character development. Plenty of action and suspense. It was nice to see how the FMC built her relationship with her father and, then, her extended family. Recommended.

Still interested in the story and character. However the series quality is definitely going down due to the Anderle emphasis on the principles of pulp fiction.

Excellent Series
Loved the characters, the world created between these pages and the story that was woven to make it all come to life.
