Really solid read! I'm coming back to this series after I don't know how many months. I knew that I had enjoyed the initial three in the series and couldn't wait for the next in the series but the wait inevidentably felt too long, and I didn't keep up with the fourth book's release. Now I've acquired the next 3 in the series and am set to marathon them.
This installment was a great reintroduction to the world because it was one of the series shortest novels and had a simple plot line but an amazingly entertaining cast. I enjoyed the fact that the plot was reminiscent to a linear murder-mystery story line because I was more focused on Kara and remembering everything that had occurred in the first 3 books. As a fourth book, I think it stands on pretty steady ground but I wouldn't say that it advanced the overall storyline of the series. However, what I appreciated most about the book and what contributed to my overall rating and enjoyment was the character development and how effortless the writing felt. I couldn't believe how easy it was to get back into the flow of the pacing and the narrative. The writing wasn't flawless and it really held my attention and didn't let me put the book down. Since I was taking a bit of reading hiatus because of my working schedule, I can definitely appreciate how easy it was to reintroduce myself to reading.
I'm not sure if I'm a fan of either of the Kara's love interests but I can understand both relationships for what they are. The author did an excellent job introducing the new twist about Kara (won't reveal anything, no worries). She was able to tie it to the unbelievable cliffhanger at the end of the 3rd book that left me wanting to tear apart anything between me and the fourth book. Overall, an incredibly satisfying read and I can't wait read the rest.
