Great page-turner bringing back characters from the first 2 books and deftly weaving their stories together.  Often, in a series, the story gets watered down as it continues, but the author has managed to create another unique extension of the original story, building on the lives of previous characters as well as introducing new ones.  Great friendships, fun twists, and a fast pace added more perks to the story.
