This is a Stevie Rae and Rephaim centered book, and again I think this was a pretty good idea. I like the way their story resolves, for the most part, and I think it was the most interesting thing currently going on in the series. 
I'm glad that it wasn't dragged out to increase the tension, and the "forbidden romance" angle works pretty well for them. 
The ending was also a pretty big shock when I was younger, so I think that was a good call to set up momentum for the next story.
