I enjoyed the first three books in this series, but this one wasn't as good for me.  The number of characters continues to grow, and you need to have remembered people from the previous books.  I didn't remember them all, which made me feel like I was missing something.  If I had reread the last book or were reading it in a row (the way I would have as a teen), it would have been as exciting as the first three.  I'll give up on this series now.

The ending of this book had me slapping my mouth. Jennifer Lynn Barnes never fails to make you think with her Hawthorne puzzles and this book was no exception. I loved the duel perspective with Jameson and Grayson. My only issue is how their thoughts felt too calculated and less natural. Also, I felt like Jameson and Avery’s chemistry was a little off in this book. Overall, I enjoyed this book (especially Gigi who is now my second favorite character just behind Xander). 

I don’t know if this was just me, but it felt like Jameson was slightly svicid@l at times.
