Highly recommend.” – Amazon Reviewer“What a rollercoaster of a series and what an amazing last book in the series. I devoured it in an afternoon. It was mesmerising, all the things that happened to Natalie, her struggles to come to terms with her new self, were oh so real. The villain was truly demented, causing all sorts of problems for your main characters. Through it all the sense of comradeship shone though despite all the issues. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and am sad it has finished.” – Amazon Reviewer
