I really enjoyed this story and when you think you know who the "Bad Guy" is, something happens and makes you question your original theory. I wish there had been a little more background on the players, and since it is part of the Shattered Sisters series, SOME interaction with the sisters before the end and maybe some flashbacks or something, but otherwise, a solid story....more

I liked Pres and I like her backbone, but I never got the relationship with the douche canoe. It just seemed like it was supposed to fit in the storyline so lets throw that in there.
Shaw just didn't work for me that much either, and putting them together, while ok, didn't seem to throw any fireworks.

Addiction is hard and that was completThis one was a bit hard for me to finish, not because of the writing, because that was superb, but the content. Addiction is hard and that was completely shown in this book. At first, I was super pissed that the author kept putting Ellie in these positions, and having her "friends" enable her. I was like, how the heck is she going to get any better, is she going to get any better? She better get better. But then I saw the hardship and the hurt that it was causing, not only herself but the ones that love her. And I "got" it.
I loved the relationship with Tyler and how he loved her for who she was and tried to "love her through it". I also loved how the relationship with Sally transformed. I am still a little unsure of Paige and her roll, it seemed she just melted away and there wasn't any conclusion to that.
I do admit, I didn't read the first 3 in this series, and didn't realize it was a series until I was in to the book a bit. BUT, good news is there are 3 more books I get to read. :) ...more

It is heavy and there are many triggers (as the author warned), but I think they were all done well and not overdone. I liked the relationship build, and really enjoyed watching her grow as a person.
I did hav a few WTF moments, but I think that is more of a "me" thing than a writing thing. The time jumping thing was a bit rushed for me, I wish it would have shown her learning to just "be" again. Instead we fastforward and see how she is, not how she got there.
**spoiler alert** This isn't going to be a popular review, because I know so many loved it. I just felt there were so many inconsistencies from what w**spoiler alert** This isn't going to be a popular review, because I know so many loved it. I just felt there were so many inconsistencies from what we know about Con and Rhi. For 17 plus books, Con has been a strong silent type, take no prisoners type. Now all of a sudden he is a high school boy wanting to talk feelings and stuff. He is whinny and needy and it was...wrong. Con and Rhi pretending to be together seemed so cheesy, and like 5 years ago in the romance genre.
Then, you have the fact that Con slept with both mother and daughter at different times, did the author not put that together when she came up with this? That is kind of...gross.
We have the bitch queen finally meeting her maker, but is it Rhi that gets to kill her? The light that she has wronged? No, it is the dark, that she never did anything to, never really lead them, never really did anything to them, why do they get to kill her? Why couldn't someone or group of someones that she actually wronged have gotten that privilege? Not only that, but she didn't use ANY magic when they attacked her? Weird.
Erith kept 2 children from Con and Rhi for CENTURIES, and everyone is ok with that? Just, oh hey, we have kids.
PLUS, Clarie's baby...never know what happens.
It was like there wasn't really any thought put in to this book and it was the most anticipated of the entire series. I am just disappointed, honestly. ...more

Such a rollercoaster goes on with Liam and his Cat. So many "almosts" and so many near misses...I am so glad he never gave up on finding his "ghost". What an ordeal they came through, stronger on the other side, but each never forgetting the other. I absolutely loved this book....more

I have to be honest, I got about half way though, I couldn't take anymore. I don't know what kind of MC this is, but it is not an alpha male type thing I love to read.

There wasn't really any who-done-it moments, we know who did it, why and how, at this point. This was more like...the title, the aftermath. I love Brad and Molly, and I loved getting to see the others as well, getting a glimpse of what happened after the horrible events of Secrets Hidden in the Glass. We pretty much take up where the first book left off, with the families trying to pick up the pieces and try and make sense of senseless tragedies. There are 2 things I wish we would have seen...in the prologue, Molly gives Brad a shell, and it says that they always do that for one another when one is leaving. I wish we would have seen more of that, or seen the treasures they collected, or something to tie that together. Secondly, I had hoped that the renovations on the clinic had been completed or at least started before the end of the book. I know I may be in the minority here, but I am hoping to see Jordan again. I would really like to see him turn things around. All in all, I loved this book, but I love all of the books by CB, she could write the phone book, and I would happily read it. I hope the next book isn't super far away :) ...more
