My thoughts

I hate reviewing excerpts. I only downloaded this review copy thinking it was a full copy and not just an excerpt. This is a Brigid Kemmerer book, so of course I loved it and of course it only made me want to read the whole book now and OF COURSE it ended on a tantalising bit that was so AGONISING. So, you see why I don’t like reading excerpts?!?

Here’s what you need to know:

This is the third book in the series.

If you haven’t read books one and two (have you been living under a rock?), please go and find them now and read them. Now. Thank you.

If you have already read books one and two you are already in love with these books, desperate to get your hands on the third book and only clicked on this review to find out where you too can read the excerpt and torture yourself.

That is all.

The publishers provided an advanced readers copy of this book for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.
