Promise Me Not is a great sequel to Say You Swear. I did love Mason almost as much as Noah. I knew I would, as I did really like and enjoy his character in SYS, but it was great to get into his head in this book. Payton is such a sweet soul, but she did have a lot of trauma to work through and I am not really sure it was worked through or resolved much. I did enjoy the back and forth from timelines from past to present, but I wish we would've gotten a little more of the present and watch Payton work through the trauma she was dealt at a young age. Mason also had his own issues of attachment that would've been great to see him work through but it was kind of brushed over.

I also think we worked through the pregnant Alanna/Alister stuff very quickly, but I know they were not the focus.

I am excited to see who we get with miss Cameron in the next book (or I at least hope it is Cam).
