I was eagerly awaiting the third book in this series and praying that I wouldn't find out any of the plot's details till I was able to read the book myself. The second book for me dragged a little because of all the details that needed to be inserted, but I understood why they needed to be in there. Also I prefer Ren to Shay so I was a little wary of where this book would be taken. I was able to flip through the pages quickly as I was on the edge of my beach seat so into the book. The book had nonstop action that the readers will not be expecting all the turns that Bloodrose takes. In other books I can at times predict what is going to happen, but with this there were so many surprises that made the book enjoyable. Andrea Cremer knows her stuff when she brings elements, the latin and craft elements into the book. Her characters are strong and witty that the readers can't help to love, and stay true themselves through the whole series. The ending is still hitting me and a must read!
