Experience the thrilling finale of The Underground Series in book Alder.
Alder is the third book in the Underground Series, and I promise, it will not disappoint! Here's the catch- and yes I may have been a little emotional at the time, but that doesn't change this fact- I cried. I cried on the plane, where I happened to start this book. I cried on my staircase, to avoid the questioning eyes of my boyfriend, and I cried over a bowl of ice cream. Not because this book broke my heart, but because Melody Robinette has a way with words. She knows how to make you feel what the characters are feeling. Alder was so good, I literally could not put it down!
