** spoiler alert ** 
 Well, I gotta say I loved the sequel to V's relationship... cause that's what the book was and I loved every part of it... on the other hand, Manny and Payne as a relationship was hot in an askew kind of way.. I loved each one as an individual... Manny's surprised relation to our boy Butch got me offered a coaster for my jaw when it hit the table lol it was an awesome surprise... I love that we didn't wait to know whether he changed or not.. somehow I'm hoping he's done it.. and I hope we'll find out soon in the next book... but all in all... this wasn't my favorite book of the series... even though I loved certain events in it more than some other favorite books - if I'm making any sense :)
