I have really enjoyed this series and the more I read, the more invested I get. This one definitely pulled me in. There were several moments where I hit a cliffhanger or tension and just HAD to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. And the ending!! I feel a need to immediately pick up the next book but I have too many other things waiting at the moment so I just have to sit in anticipation. Really looking forward to having a chance to pick it up again in a few weeks.

Like the other books in this series, this was a great book that was full of surprises. I continue loving to see how Bobby grows and matures. It's also interesting to see how Saint Dane is growing more desperate to win and how he has changed tactics. I also am kind of interested in the love interest that grows in the book. I can't say I didn't see it coming but it was interesting to see it happen.

Moving away from characters, I still love his choice of writing style, where some of the book is told in first person by Bobby during his journals and the rest is third person from Bobby's home.

What I loved most about the book is all the action and surprises that occur throughout the book. There are some parts where you can guess what is going to happen, but I don't think anyone will see the ending coming, which is always something I love; the whole "ummm WHAT?!?!" moment? Yes I love that :)

There isn't much else I can say for this book without giving things away (since I loved the surprises the most) or that I haven't already said in the other reviews for the book. Only thing I can leave you with is this continues to be a great series that I highly recommend.
