My opinion: I loved this book. It was a lot better done than Shep and Thea’s book, in my opinion. You still have those thriller, who is actually after them, elements but it didn’t feel like a copy and paste of the first two books which was refreshing. I loved how Cope took to Luca and pretty much immediately wanted to be a dad and reassured both him and Sutton that he and his family would always be there for him no matter what. I also loved that Sutton listened to both Cope and her heart and didn’t fight things unnecessarily. While a lot of the conflict with outside characters was predictable, I did like the small twist at the end.
