you won’t be disappointed

I don’t know where to start with this book. It’s so great seeing them all come back together as a team and I really like Nathan a lot so I was shocked at the end of the book, but knowing that there’s gonna be a good outcome in the next book which will be here sooner than later, I hope

Great story!

I love this series! The characters draw you in, and you react, sometimes verbally, to their actions as if they might hear you. The ongoing plots, new twists, and cursed cliffhangers keep me coming back for more. I highly recommend this book (and all) by Elle Gray.

Joey and the team continues to keep us guessing and wondering until the end. Twins did not expect that twist.

Confusion is the name of the game

This story goes one way, you got that figured out! No, you don't because the next event sends you in another direction.
