If not for the ending I would have given this book 4 stars, was enjoying it greatly up till the end.

Very minor spoiler ahead!

However I strongly dislike cliff-hanger endings especially ones that end with bad stuff happening to the main character. Its not as bad as some books I've read (I'm looking at you Fire Heart), but its still something I do not appreciate. If you are like me you may want to skip.

I hated the ending so much that it literally killed the whole book for me. I did like the middle of the book, and the story was interesting up to a point. The premise was also very good and there were lots of twists and shockers. However, I hated both main characters with a passion because they were both horrible people and so superficial. I guess the author did a good job there because I despised both main characters. I also kind of hated the secondary characters too. I feel like every story needs a good guy/hero/heroine - This book doesn't have one. I guess Nick was maybe more "human" or slightly more "sane" than Amy, but these people take the cake in the "loser department". The ending left me with my eyes rolling and I almost made the "L" sign for "Losers" at my IPad. Booooo hissssssss.

I do not want to spoil this for anyone so I will just say that I found the character unlikable and the overall book disappointing. I disliked the ending tremendously!

I read the second epilogue and think it was gross on several levels. I like sweet endings. It's almost like the 2nd epilogue was written by someone else, because the first was professing love, the second stupid and disgusting.

Interesting enough of a story but i'm not a fan of books that end with cliff hangers to lead you on to the next in the series.  Don't get me wrong, I understand the concept and reason for business purposes, I just don't care for the application of the concept.  I'll just imagine up my own unhappy ending to the story rather than continue on to other books in the series.

I am so upset right now, I could scream! I loved this whole story right up until the end...or should I say "Non-ending. The story line was great, the characters were amazing, and the story had such and easy flow. And...if not for the trickery with the ending, I would have rated this book with a 5 star rating. But..because of the tacky non-ending I'm only giving this a 2 star rating.

Like some other reviewer stated

(Quote) "This isn't a full story. I was really frustrated with this because I saw "book 1" and assumed that this would be part of a series, but it would be a self-contained story within itself. I suppose I should have paid more attention, but I think that it should have been labeled "part 1" or "episode 1" rather than "book 1" because the last implies a certain level of completeness that isn't there."(un-Quote)

And she also stated that she would be buying the next two books, because she wants to know how this ends.

Sorry...but she's more generous than I am. I would not buy the next two books, no matter how curious I am. Heck at this point I probably wouldn't even read it if the author sent it to me free, I'm just that ticked off!

I thoroughly despise these kind tactic's, that some of author's are using now. As far as I'm concerned, it's nothing more than a game of bait and switch, and I for one, am not going to fall for these types of games. If I like your work I will by more of your books. And I would have gladly paid for the next book in this series, because I found this book very well written and I loved the story line. That was right up until I got to the very last page. I've read a few other author's who I could have gotten hook on in the last year and a half, but because they resorted to these kind of tactic's, they have been permanently wiped off my author's lists for good.

Would I recommend this book? Heck NO!!! If I did my friends and fellow reader's would tear my head off, when they got to the last page. Why? Because every single of of them have told me how much they despise these games, too.

I really, really don't mind when a book leaves a few loose ends to entice you to get the next book in the series; but I hate it totally when a book comes to an abrupt end with no conclusion to anything............it is almost like the author didn't know what these girls were going to do either so they just head off in a buggy..............really?  Nothing was answered.  Nothing.  Too bad, because it was a well-written book that I enjoyed reading until it just quit.  So I give it five stars for being a good book and one star because of the ending----which was really a "quit writing" not an ending.  Too bad.  Guess I'll never know what happened, because I won't buy never-ending books.

Nicely done with the characters and the plot but I hate books that don't have an ending to tie up the loose ends so I will be skipping the rest of the series

I'm giving this 4 stars even though I hated the ending. Of course I'm sure the ending is suppose to make me want to read the next book about this character but in truth it makes me feel just the opposite.  I don't mind a author keeping the same main character but I want all (or at least most) of the story's in the book to end and other then the main character and his family  continue with all new story lines in the next book. We didn't get to hear if the baby was located, we still have two bad guys on the run, and worst of all we didn't get to hear the judge yell at Judith and give more visitation to him.

The base plot was there. Dark mysterious man with lots of secrets. He's moody and strange but kind underneath it all.

At about the 70% point, ok was enjoying the book and I thought okay this is clearly going to have a cliffhanger ending because  there is no way the author has time to turn this around. And I liked the book enough that I was okay with a cliffhanger if the next book was done as well as this one. But I was wrong, out of nowhere at 95% the author has the hero do a complete 180. Suddenly he spews all his secrets rapid fire and tells her he loves her.... the end. WHAT!!! Ending is so poorly done its crazy!

It would have got 5 stars if it weren't for you know who dying at the end. I hate unhappy endings.

I liked the books in this series overall but the ending truly was aweful so much left up in the air.  I wouldn't bother reading this series because the ending definitely thinking there should another book to wrap everything up

I usually never write a bad review, however I was really mad about how these books end in a cliffhanger and you have to spend more money to get to the end.

I dislike books that are cliffhangers especially when a third could be edited out.  Spoiler alert! The switching from one voice to the next was distracting. Not everyone can do the omniscient style very well and it's not always advisable. This was one time when the suspense would have been better without it.  There was no indication that this was a series. Wont be reading the rest...if they happen.

I never write reviews, so this in itself shows the passion I had for this book. I loved the concept. I thought it was new, original, and thought-provoking. But this book lost a star because of its ending(that, and I hated Simone). A cliffhanger! A gosh darn cliffhanger! So frustrated. >:(

It was an okay story as far as it went but it had a cliff hanger ending and I don't do those. I'm not really interested in reading any book that can't tell an entire story and wrap us all the loose ends without leaving me sitting there saying, "What the heck???? Where did that come from?"

I really enjoyed the first part of this book. It was different than the rest of the series, in that I didn't feel like it was a constant recap of what had happened in previous books. BUT... the end was perhaps one of the worst endings ever. I felt like the author was given a certain number of pages and then realized, "Oh, crap, I'm almost out of my alotted pages so I better wrap things up!" I felt the same way about the Da Vinci Code. I threw both books across the room when I was done reading them because I was so disappointed with how they ended. Ugh. I'm glad the series is done.
