I AM SPEECHLESS! What a shock and great way to leave us readers wanting more! 

I’d heard mixed reviews prior to reading and I don’t understand how you couldn’t love this book unless the reader was confused.

There are multiple characters and points of view. You don’t know if you love them or hate them. I can’t wait to see what’s next!

For Tracy Wolff to end this series on this note is very disheartening. I fell in love with the characters and looked forward to each challenge they were to face. The plot was anti-climactic, uninteresting at times and kept giving me the feeling that things were just “too easy”. 15% percent of the book is plot driven, 10% character development, & 75% Grace telling us how much she loves Hudson, her friends and her people.
