Still loving this series. The author isn't afraid of having the characters take some hard hits, which makes for a wild ride when reading these. I'm still loving the characters and story. I think I just wish each book had more of its own story/plot. I feel like this series has one overarching plot, and I'm reading part 1, part 2, part 3, etc. And I tend to like series where each book has its own plot, along with the overarching plot. 

But honestly, this series is a winner, and I'd highly, highly recommend. And I'm prepared to have my heart break with the final book. Wish me luck.
