4.5

_____________________________

I bought the audiobook the day it was released. Yet, I waited over 6 months to finally listen to it. Why do I do these things to myself?? Mostly because I love the series and liked knowing there was more, in hand, vs wanting more and there being none. I know, I'm really weird. Well, what I can say is that it was totally worth the wait. 

Things I loved: 
- Actually, a little of the "shine" was removed off of the memory of Jeffrey. Not for Sara, but for the reader. Sara forgave him for past transgressions, but I appreciated getting a little behind the scenes in this aspect of their relationship.
- Everything Will. I love getting his POV - whether it be while working crimes or in his thinking about Sara. I always want to reach out and give him a much needed hug. 
- The gentleness in the relationship between Will and Sara. They are real. They might still have some communication issues, but I can appreciate the care they always take with each other's feelings. 
- Awesome narration!
- Karin's writing. But I think this in very one of her books that I read or listen to.

Meh things: 
- I did sort of figure out who the baddie was a little earlier on then is let on in the book. Or at least suspected. But... I don't care since the writing is just so good. I guess this one isn't really a "meh" thing afterall!

More. I just want more.
