I have a bit of mixed feelings about this series still. I was hoping to have more concrete feelings about it after this one but I honestly really don’t. My favorite character in the series by far is Phineas (the antagonist). I still have love-hate feelings about Cassie and Link. I really hope he still has a role in book 3 as he is definitely the reason I plan on continuing to finish this series. 

This story is still very set apart from her other works. The writing style is very different from the Evie style I’ve come to know and love. This difference doesn’t quite align with my preferences when I sit down to read something from her. That said, the last quarter of this one is what really sucked me in and I flew right through it. 

I almost wanted more from this story. There were a number of times that conversations and scenes were simply summarized after the fact. I would’ve loved to be there to witness them as a reader. I’ll be interested to see how this plays out as the series concludes. 

I received this book as part of a Haylingbookstorm PR arc and street team. My review is honest and voluntary
