While I am still interested in seeing where the series goes I like each book a little less. In the first book I loved Kale & Dez together. In the second book Kale's behaviour with Jade annoyed me but after seeing his point of view and his reasoning I could let it go. But what happens in this book really ruined that relationship and was I think unnecessary for the bigger picture. Yes it wasn't really Kale's fault that he
Spoiler slept with Kiernan because he was brainwashed and his feelings for Dez had been directed onto Kiernan but it wasn't needed. They could still have had the brainwash effect in making him believe Dez was Kiernan but instead of having him think Kiernan was his girlfriend they could have made him think she had been killed. This would have been enough to cause the conflict without ruining a great relationship.
Spoiler This whole issue aside I didn't like this Kale as much as the bluntly honest and sweetly clueless version of the first 2 books. And once again we have over the top caricature villain behaviour - this time from Kiernan with her sudden unreasoning ridiculously obsessive hatred of Dez. The book would have been much better had we seen some struggle between wanting to please her father and reluctant interest in her sister given her previous interaction and bonding with Dez in book 2.
