When i start a new series i usually dont give the first novel more than a 3 1/2 to a 4 rating. The reason being as i was so caught up in the last series i am still wanting more of what they are doing. Well this one got a 5. Its a must read. So much action, i didnt want to put it down. Christina Dodd is an excellent writer i have loved every book i read of hers. I am on to the next.
