This one was kind of endless and boring. A definite letdown from the amazing cliffhanger from the last book. It was a lot of backstory and a fight that didn't make much sense. I just didn't get the conflict or how it was resolved. I was glad when it ended. I hope the next book has more going on that will keep me on the edge of my seat like the first 2 books did. ( )

The third installment in the Sugar Maple chronicles does not fail to please. Sugar Maple disappears! and forces Chloe, Luke, Janice & Penelope to Salem to look for answers. We learn a lot about the history of the people of Sugar Maple, why they left Salem & who stayed behind. Chloe also learns more about her family and about herself.

Although this could have easily been the last in the series, Bretton leaves us with a teaser that can not be the end :)

Overall, I enjoyed this installment. There were a few places where the story dragged and then others where things moved so fast I had to slow down my reading to take it all in. However, if you enjoyed the first two books in this series, you should certainly enjoy this one. ( )

Loved it. Best series ever! ( )
