3.5 stars: 
 I have been thinking a lot about this book since I finished it last night. I would give the first half of the book a solid 4 stars. I love the way that the author decided to deal with the mystery of what happened after the cliff hanging finale of the 2nd book. It was interesting to find out how Nora would react to her memory loss, if and how she would get it back,, and all the while, a mystery threaded through. At about the half way mark, things started to slow down a bit. The way that Nora and Patch jumped back into a relationship seemed a bit too convenient. I'm not saying I am unhappy with the fact that they did jump back into a relationship, it's just that it seemed too easy, forced even. Scott's character in this installment was under developed. I would have liked to have seen more of him, or none of him at all. 
 And, something was niggling me all night and I couldn't put my finger on what was bothering me about the ending. Then I realized that there was no need to continue the series past this book. It seems like the author could have easily ended the series here. It wrapped up pretty neatly, and my assumption is that she probably did intend this book to end the series but the draw of more money may have swayed her (or at least it did her publisher) to continue on with a fourth book in the series. Maybe I am a purest, or whatever, but if a book series clearly has an ending, it should end, and not continue to simply make more money. I know huge fans of this series would argue this point vehemently, so, I hope I am proven wrong once the 4th (and final???) book comes out.
