I was so excited for this book because I loved Until I Get You. I enjoyed Finn and the relationship between him and Joss. I didn’t love this one as much as the previous book, but I liked it. I like the danger/suspense elements, Claire is good at that. The only thing is, that I guessed the whole ending very early in the book which took some of my interest and excitement away I like to be shocked and surprised. Something was missing for me, I don’t know if that something is in relation to the storyline or the relationship development, but I just needed more of something.
