Does anyone know what happened to

It was on amazon back in January, I purchased it January 3rd. I think it was only there for a little while. IDK what happen to it after that.
I bought Consumed back in January as well, right before it got removed again. I absolutely loved Devoured and All In and I COULD NOT WAIT FOR the final installment. I was not disappointed per say, but I expected more. There were lots of grammatical errors but I can overlook that, I did feel the story was rushed at times and I felt I needed more (explanation, background, etc). Especially because the date got pushed back too many times to remember and I literally was expecting to be BLOWN AWAY! It was a good conclusion but I doubt I will read anything else by her.
She hasn't said yet. I was able to get it before it was removed but it seems taking back the rights seems to have caused a lot of problems for her and the book.

I thought it was a good story, didn't mind the wait. I'm intrigued by Sinjin, looking forward to his story. I did feel that the big reveal was a little washy, not so much WHAT happened, but Sam's present actions. I know that there is a new story out and that she has been posting completed chapters, but I'd rather wait until it is finished to read it all at once.
I agree with Megan from back in April mostly. There was a lot of drama over its release and her trying to get the rights back. I absolutely loved all the other books/installments that went along with this story and I was greatly looking forward to the conclusion of the story line and finding out the BIG reveal. When it finally got here, I felt cheated. I was one of the few lucky ones to buy it on Amazon before it was quickly removed. It wasn't a horrible book but it wasn't up to the caliber of the others. It nowhere near had the heart of the other books in the story. I felt like Emily got her publisher and they wanted her to rewrite/tweak each book and for whatever reason Emily gave up on the final one. I don't know if she was tired of it and ready to move on to other things or where it all fell apart but it was not as good or as well-written as the other books in the series. I did have some communication with Emily around that time over a Toxic Sequel T-shirt issue and she was very generous in her attempt to correct the error but she did seem very overwhelmed at the time. My impression was that she has a very hectic personal life and not much help/support within her writing team. I still support her but this was a bit of a disappointment and I hope she can get back on track because she was one of my favorite authors.
Well hmmm. It was just, OK. I do have to wonder if this was the book that we waited over a year for. Snow had previously stated that the book was 300+ pages and the goodreads description states that it is 320 pages long. But the published book is a mere 176 pages long. Plus, I am curious to know why a book that was pushed many, many times supposedly for "editing" had so many spelling and grammatical errors. Too many to count. I think that it was rather anticlimactic after all the drama with the wait of being published. I saw Lucas's "secret" coming a mile away and figured that was what it was all along and even that other characters where involved the way they where. I think that I even said this is what it had to be in one of the discussion groups. The end also felt rushed. We literally don't find out the "big secret" until 86% and then it feels like filler to the end since we all knew that it would have a HEA. I definitely am wondering if this is the book that she has been sitting on for over a year as I am not convinced, especially after reading it, that she didn't only finish writing it within the last couple of weeks prior to it's actual publication. Also, I can't put my finger on it right now and will have to dig through some of the other books I have read but is reads very similar to something I have already read. I am not calling her a plagiarist at all, this just feels so familiar. Maybe it is just another rock star story, wash, rinse and repeat. Sinjin's book was supposed to be out "this spring". Well spring has come and gone and we are well into winter and I am not supprised there is not book #3. There is the novella in the series on her blog which I will not read until it is completed and posted. Not for sure thay I will actually pay to read any of her other books at this point.
