Really loved the book. Kept me on the edge of my seat, but the ending fell flat!!! Did they make a 4th book for this or did they start a new series. I want to know what happens!!

I am usually a Jude lover, but I feel like she really had a swing and a miss with this one. Actually, with both of the last two books in this trilogy. I don't feel like the plot of the second and third books was set up at all in the first book, and the final book didn't tie up any of the major questions of the trilogy, and left me completely unsatisfied. I really should have stopped reading after the first book.

This was one weird book.
The whole psychics mystery book was very popular in the 90's, and I guess Jude jumped on the theme.

I'm not sure what to say about this book. Its part three of the forever trilogy, and it was going perfectly until the last three chapters...The ending was ok, but I would have liked a little more detail and a little more thought to the ending. Not as good as parts one and two.

I was really disappointed in this book. I was hoping everything would tie together in a nice little bow. But I’m left more confused than when I started. The last two paragraphs by themselves have me shaking my head. I loved the first book! And the second was good too, not my favorite. This one....I have no more words.

I loved this story up until the ending, which is exactly what happened with the first book. I expected a different ending because the whole book, as well as the book before it, hinted at what would need to happen for the trilogy to come to an end. I was left with the impression the book (and the trilogy for that matter) hadn’t been thought out completely. With that said, I still greatly enjoyed reading the trilogy and may even read them again. If you like light romance with heavy humor and psychics then give this trilogy a try!

This was really more of a 2.5 stars for me, but you can't give half-stars, and two-star means "I didn't like it" which isn't really accurate, hence the 2.5.

I picked up book two in this series without realizing it was part of a series. I really enjoyed book two (Forever and Always) and but I couldn't find book 1 after I read it, so instead I decided to read book 3 and cut to the chase. It was okay, but I liked book 2 a lot better.

Darci is an interesting character and the approach to paranormal in her continuing quest to find her husband was intriguing for me. I also liked the Jack character in this book, and how Darci and Jack fight and spar and become friends in spite of themselves.

Without giving spoilers, there's a fair bit of action, some time-travel and plenty of opportunities for the characters to grow and develop, and as another review I read said: "the book was good until the two-page epilogue" which I agree with completely. The epilogue was completely out of left-field, and since this is a trilogy and presumably no more books about Darci are planned, I found the epilogue stupid and irritating.

I'm glad I found out how Darci's story ended, but for me, book 2 was a much better read overall.

I've always found Deveraux's exposition to be a little heavy-handed, but reading this book was like being pelted with anvils. And even in a romance (which this technically was but decidedly wasn't; I couldn't figure out who was supposed to be in love with whom until 3/4 of the way through the book) there's such a thing as being too in love with your characters. In retrospect, I should have taken the too-smug dedication at the beginning of the book as a sign, but no, I read on til the end, with the completely ridiculous "twist." And I am so, so sorry I did.
