WOW! THIS is how you cunningly and expertly wrap up a trilogy! But, I really did hate to see it end. These characters are so vivid and multi-dimensional that they feel absolutely real. The plot was fast-paced and so full of tension and suspense, that it had me holding my breath as I turned the pages. This book (actually, the whole trilogy) definitely goes on my list of "unputdownables"!

If you haven't read something by Kristin Helling, she should absolutely be your next great author to discover! She always delivers addicting story lines and big thrills along with compelling characters that immediately draw you straight into their world.

*I received a complimentary ARC of this book in order to read and provide a voluntary, unbiased and honest review, should I choose to do so.
