Five stars. Absolutely! I totally loved this book and never felt once that the plot was slow and/or dragging. It was sooo good!! 
 This book was a fantastic roller coaster ride, full of twists and turns; wondeful characters (witty, gorgeous and super sarcastic), sweet sizzling romance ( oh my gosh...Rene..aww) and very cool, movie-like action scenes. 
 As I said the characters were wonderful, I liked all Rene's uncles and his maman, Tom and Orla (Spear, not so much); but, of course, I loved Sophie and Rene the most. 
 What else? I want to be adopted by the Hasards...pretty please!!
