** spoiler alert ** 
 I was most plesantly surprised with this book, I didn't think it would take my breath away but it did! Caspian and Abbey are definitely my new favorite couple. The sexual tension was amazingly well-written and you have no idea how much I want them to get together right now. The angst, and especially Caspian's feelings towards holding Abbey back, felt so real and strong. Amazing writing! 
 I have no doubt in my mind, that I want Abbey alive because she has so many dreams and things she still want to do, like her perfume store but on the other hand, I'm wondering if it's even possible for Caspian to be human again. 
 I quite liked the introduction of the new characters, the Revenents, because what better way to spice things up, right? I was absolutely certain that they were the "bad guys" when I was proven wrong by the end of the book. I'm definitely interested to know what happens in the next book. 
 And speaking of which, I guess you could say that I'm "haunted" (no pun intended) by Abbey's closing words. What does she mean by "not being ready"? Was she not ready to leave with the group, or was she not ready to join Caspian? 
 I need book 3 now!! :D
