The beginning of this book was agonizing! I felt for Merit and understood why she just wanted to lock herself away and never come out. Everywhere she turned something reminded her of him. I love that Mal was the one to bring Mer out of her funk. I also enjoyed the fact that Merit was spending more time with Jonah! She deserves someone else to give her butterflies and flutters besides Ethan. The incoming of Frank, the receiver, was FRUSTRATING!!! He was awful and wrong on so many levels! Another shocker ending! Although, it was a bitter-sweet one and I cannot wait for book 6! 
 "Merit!" 
 I jolted awake, bathed in sweat, gasping for breath, the sound of his voice in my ears. 
 Tears slipped from my eyes as I pushed drenched bangs from my forehead, and scrubbed my hands across my face, trying to slow the feverish race of my heart.
