This series definitely got better with each book. Terrorscape is what nightmares are made of. 
 In book 3 we find Val in a college across country with an alias to escape Gavin and others who torment her and blame her. Gavin has become a serial killer, killing women that remind him of Val. More friends die, more friends suffer cruelty and more psychos come out of hiding. 
 Every now and then I don't mind giving away TONS of spoilers in reviews... but this is something people will need to read for themselves. 
 I hope we eventually find out what happens to Val and the surprise she didn't want. (hint, hint Nenia LOL) 
 As much as I love a good villain and a good redemption story, major freaking props to Nenia Campbell for making an unredeemable anti-hero. I HATE reading about books who have an anti-hero that actually ends up somewhat good, whether it be from love, loss or simply because the author didn't want her hero to end on a bad note. I absolutely love that Gavin began as a sadistic unredeemable boy and ended as a messed up, beyond crazy psychopathic man. 
 *There were a couple of moments where we see that Gavin cares about Vals life. (I'm pretty sure it was only because he didn't know why she could hold his attention for so long and because he loved having control over her life... but he still didn't let her die. If she was going to die... he was going to be the one to end her life.)* 
 So, read with caution. This series is jacked up, but it's an awesome ride.
