I really dragged my heels to finish this one. I just knew some bad shit was going to happen in the end and it was giving me such anxiety. But the fact that reading this book actually gave me anxiety is a testament to how good this installment of the story was! I just want Sydney and Adrian to finally get a chance to be happy together. Sigh... 
 I love that Adrian is now one of the narrators of the story. He's always been my favorite and now i get more of my favorite dark prince. WIN! We get really in depth with a spirit user who is in both the thralls and withdrawals of spirit use. Its very much like a drug addict trying to kick the habit. It was really raw to see him suffering so much. (view spoiler)[ And when he finally started taking mood stabilizers because Sydney was more important to him than the magic... I fell more in love with him. (hide spoiler)] 
 Zoe... I hate Zoe. She's incredibly snotty and annoying the whole time. The only time I liked her even a little was for one paragraph where she says something kind of nice about Eddie and she tells Sydney that she took all of them out for Ice Cream. Other than that I hated her. Seriously, after what she does to Sydney... I want to hold her down and make her eat dirt! FOREVER! 
 Now I'm just going to geek out in spoilers... 
 1. (view spoiler)[Jackie and Wolfe! All the cats and chihuahuas can be a herd of tiny animals! Just saying... (hide spoiler)] 
 2. (view spoiler)[The scenes in the Poconos were so beautiful. Adrian was narrating the scene where he and Sydney made love for the first time. I thought she would be considering she was losing her virginity but Adrian was just so poetic about the whole thing. Perfect. (hide spoiler)] 
 3. (view spoiler)[Sydney is such an awesome brave heroine. She puts everything on the line. Unlike Rose who uses her physical strength to get her though troubles, Sydney's greatest strength is her mind. And in the last scene of the book where she was in re-education... she was so bad ass that I wanted to meet her in real life and be best friends. (hide spoiler)] 
 4. (view spoiler)[Eddie and Jill = FINALLY!!!! Angeline and Trey = FINALLY!!! Olive and Neil = FINALLY!!! (hide spoiler)]
