I love the characters in this series so much; Ziva, Temra, Kellyn and Petrik are my favorite group! I loved picking up where the last book left off and immediately diving into all the suspense! The beginning and end of the this book are really strong in my opinion. However, the middle was a little repetitive and long. This portion of the book felt dedicated to working out character's emotions and not much else. I saw what purpose it served to drag out this part of the story, but I still would have preferred having the relationship building be gradually mixed in with more story advancing plot. But again, I LOVED the beginning and end of the book so much that in the end it was exactly what I was hoping for! This is an all time favorite series for me with all time favorite characters!
