I think the biggest impact I had in this novel and really in this series was when Tramp was injured. No one likes when the dog is severely injured.

I also didn't like how they glossed over Courtney's passing. She was such an important part of their lives and it read like "Cortney passed. aww damn. but we need to focus on getting you better." ugh! Courtney also had something for them and we never learned it.

The filler is the biggest negative I have throughout this series. I really don't care how someone enters the room or how much they drank or their beer or how often they use the bathroom.

Part of me feel the series could have continued just with the fact that Brittany is pregnant and so if Julie so we are curious on their children. Another part of me feels is could have ended by Julie not getting pregnant, deleted a lot of this filler from midway on and have Brittany give birth.

Second was how brittanys second attack was an inside job. We never learned the unknown male involved or how everything unfolded from the bad guys side. Usually a novel reveals that kind of information.

Nadler leaves a cliffhanger but it isn't as powerful as last books into this book. This cliffhanger seemed forces to continue the series.

Two unfinished pieces, both reveled to the reader early/midway through the novel. One was the letter Brittany received from her father about her mother. It comes up again at least twice towards the end but never resolved.

Seems like they are doing a big setup for the lives of their children - David and Sabrina - for upcoming novel(s) soon.

I also don't like how Nadler seems to gloss over Stephanie's MS. It was so dominate in the first novel (insert title) but since then it's never really brought up.

Julie does a flashback but no year was given. This is the first time a year wasn't given...

Also, not as many but still a handful of spelling mistakes and grammar faults throughout the digital version (via nook).

This novel has been much more action packed than the first three and I approve. Later it gets filled with too many emotional details but this is the style of writing from Nadler.

I find as I'm reading that I evaluate some passage wondering "did I really need that? No." For example: "he went out to greet her, they exchanged words, they kissed and looked on." Pass.

More grammar and spelling mistakes within this novel. It's kind of insulting to the reader and even Nadler. Shouldn't someone be proofreading before publishing even a digital version?
