My review:
Lisa Phillips has become one of my favorite authors, and this series may be my favorite of hers. I have been looking forward to reading this one, and it did not disappoint. In fact, I think it is the best of the six book series.
Both Violet and Blake were extremely likable characters, but especially Blake. To still have a relationship with his dad after what his dad had done, to raise his sisters after his mom died...he made an excellent hero.
I was telling a coworker about this book and some of the things that happened in it, and she said "man, it sounds like an action movie." And yes, it kind of does. A lot happens in the book, and the series goes out with a bang. Pun intended.
