Hmmm, not sure how I feel about this book. I seem to have forgotten a lot from the immediate books before this series of books. However, it really wasn't an impediment to me understanding what was going on in these books. There is a new story with tidbits from the previous books. It was a little slow for my liking and I kept waiting for the shoe to drop on one relationship but it never went that way. I'm curious enough to continue reading the series and see where the author wants to take me.
