I would recommend this book
Review: So, this book was good. I enjoyed myself while I was reading it, and there weren’t too many slow parts. In my opinion, this is my least favorite book in this series though. But given that the rest to the series is GREAT, that still means this book was pretty good. The plot was in-depth and well thought through. I enjoyed following the story along, just not quite as much as some of Jennifer Lynn Barnes other books. I still really like Avery as a character, as well as some of the others. Yeah, this book was pretty good, just not quite great.(I don’t really know what I’m saying at this point, I’m literally just repeating myself). Anyways, if you can’t tell, I don’t have super strong opinions when it comes to this specific book (uh, yeah I’m pretty sure everyone can tell) but I am REALLY happy to see that there are more books in this series which I’m excited to read next!!
