I have not read the first books in the series, but you can read this book as a stand-alone. I really enjoyed the book, however the twist wasn’t all that shocking for me once you found out what was really going on. However, it was still an enjoyable read and I plan on checking out the other books in the series. ( )

Complex cast of characters that are each hiding their own secrets. It was interesting getting to know the real Sarah and her history after her being just a secondary character in the previous books. Its hard to write a detailed description on this book because of the amount of secrets that all the main characters were keeping. I really liked the secondary character Angie, who was the pregnant niece of the hero of the book. The author wrote a realistic view of what a teen goes through when they get pregnant who was already suffering from self esteem issues from having a mother that was never supportive and stingy on showing any affection. Even though the decision that Angie had to make at the end of the book on what to do with the baby was heartbreaking in terms of Angie it was the right decision for the baby. I look forward to getting to read her story in the next book. ( )
