So good!

This book is written so well you can almost feel Jaron’s pain. I love the suspense, the intrigue, the danger! I love how Jaron will do anything to protect others! I love everything about this book series! I highly recommend it!

Better than anything I’ve ever read

My personal favorite of the three! (A Difficult decision to make by the way) I just finished re-re-re-re-re-re-reading it yesterday and now I’m not sure what to do anymore... I’ve finished them all again for the 18th time and they consume all of my thoughts. I’ve taken up writing fan-fiction in my head, so if you want to get an addiction, HERES THE BOOKS TO READ!!
