Now, I've to agree with most of the reviews I've read about this book before & after reading it. The duo took the supporting roles here - clearly, this was more of a Nick O' Flaherty book than Ty and Zane and I'm a bit disappointed. It's like the screen time were focused more on Nick and Kelly (Abbott) and their budding relationship. Gosh, I keep on hoping that the other half of the book would focus more on Ty and Zane but the whole thing was like a Sidewinder love story. And the last few pages was focused more on Nick! OMG! The final proposal of Ty when Zane finally said yes was sweet and I don't know - my heart goes to Ty because he was so sweet, sincere and all! I just love this guy. 
 In this book, there's too much happening. Too many suspects, too many twist and turn and too many dying! Oh, did I say too many pages for Nick (you see, I love Nick but this isn't supposed to be his book! Cmon' now Abi!) Oh well, I'm just glad that we still have Ball & Chain to linger over the impending goodbye of Ty & Zane's adventure. Gosh, I don't think I'm ready for the last book - I mean, I don't think I'm ready to let go of them just yet. Let me cry my eyes out first... see you in the ninth book!
