This one gets 3.5 stars. I vasilated between 3 and 4 stars, but in the end this book just was not as good as the first two. I continue to be annoyed by the large amount of errors that should have been caught in the editing process, and at times it affected the flow of the story. What I continue to LOVE is the way Hocking writes her characters. Although the story was a bit weak in this installment, I enjoyed just reading what the characters were up to, how Alice feels, and the continuing love triangle that permeates these stories. The lives of these characters will cause me to continue reading the series.
