Good, but a sad ending...

I love this tea! The warm flavor of the spices is really nice morning or night. Sadly this will be the last time I purchase Adagio tea. As I  ordered 3lbs of other teas (Berry Blues, Wild Strawberry, and Thai Chai) and they were old, stale, or just a bad shipment. They said they would refund my money but charge me a 30% disposal fee. I haven't even used 30% of it and the problem was quality on their end. I will never purchase Adagio again. My customers will get a better quality from now on, with service that stand behind its products. Good bye Adagio.

I loved this book until the ending.  Actually the end of the book was fine, it was the part leading up to it that was questionable.

The characters were interesting and engaging.  Their conversations were fun, but the transformation Chase made toward the ending was strange enough to drop off from 5 to 4 stars.  No spoilers here, don't worry.

Both Chase and Reese have plenty of baggage between them, and nothing is insta-solved by a few kind words, so for that I am grateful.  Their relationship is fun to a point, and heartbreaking when it hits a terribly rough spot.  I do like that there were no quick fixes for anyone.  It's just that he steps so low and does odd things that could be justified if they weren't SO outlandish.

I'd recommend the book to my friends.  I wonder if we'll ever hear Owen's story...

I really enjoyed this book. I wish the different perspectives within the different time periods had been a bit clearer to help with the flow, but I loved the concept. I very much loved the story and the mother's harrowing journey. I was so glad to see her reunited with Ray at the end. That being said, I was extremely let down by the ending. Their reunion resolved that story line, but what about resolution for Annabel and for Sam? I have so many questions. I think it is unfair to the reader to introduce these characters and make their stories so integral to the plot and then to not resolve them for us at the end. An epilogue would have been nice to see what happened with everyone after the reunion.

I pre-ordered this book several months ago and was so excited to get it and find out what happened to everyone!  It was a nice continuation, but I knew (spoiler) when people started dropping like flies, that maybe it was over!  Nice bookend finale to the series, but it was wrapped up a little too neatly and a little too quickly towards the end-but still a good book....!

I feel disappointed. Frankly, though, I don't know if I'm disappointed because of what I consider to be an unjust, anticlimactic ending, or if it's simply because the ending completely caught me off guard and was an unexpected twist. Regardless, the book was a page-turner, and up until the last section, I enjoyed it. I may read it again, just so I can feel more decisive.

I found this book to be a great read--couldn't put it down!  Unfortunately the ending left me feeling a bit cheated by the author!  After a long emotional ride with the main character's tragic experiences, I almost felt it was owed to me to find out what was to happen next!  Maybe that was done on purpose for a sequel?  I recommend borrowing this book from someone or just buying the paperback.  It's a good story, but something I wouldn't want to read again.

Good read, but sad...for everyone.  A little unrealistic at the end.  His mom was evil, anyone would have hated her...he was sappy not to be angry.  She forgot the dr and didn't look back..nice!

It was a great book that you do not want to put down.
But...the ending could have been better. I feel like the story wasn't quite over, but it was.

I really enjoyed this book...however when the book ended I really felt like something was missing and quickly forgot about the book....however I can say that was really the only criticism...I felt like the pace moved quickly and the plot and character development was very interesting. I felt for the girls when they went through all the major events in life together and it made me sad when the ending finally came...as I felt like something still needed to happen...

While I very much enjoyed most of the book, I felt the ending was terrible.  Even sad, the ending could have been more interesting.

The story was pretty good overall, though it needs polishing and tightening.

However, we 'wandered' with this poor soul (who is nameless), through countless
close calls, danger and pain, only to have him die in the end.

Seriously?  If I remember this story, it will be because of the depressing end, not
for anything meaningful inside. Sorry.

....the ending ruined it for me. I thought the book was amazing for a very large chunk of it. The characters were well thought out and seemed very real. The story was paced very well. The setting was vivid. I really was drawn into the story. I couldn't put it down...that is until i got to the ending. It felt very rushed. Not to give away any spoilers, but there is a lot that happened in very few pages that i wish was given more time. However, besides this gripe, the rest of the book was amazing and I would still highly recommend it.

Thoroughly enjoyed the book... although the ending was somewhat  sad. I really wish I had read the book before watching the series.

Ok, so FTR I do like this author's style; this was an enjoyable read, for the most part. Good concept, intriguing and believable characters -- a good story well told, right up til just before the end. I got lost a bit in the last 15% of the story, though, in which twists and turns seem to be inserted for their own sake... there was a perfect ending point, in which (won't do spoilers) justice would be served and there would have been the disharmonic but real-feeling symmetry of the main character getting what he agreed to, but not what he thought it would be -- and always the outsider. I'm a bit frustrated that the author shot past this point, but it won't keep me from reading more of his work. I enjoyed reading it, overall; just wish the ending didn't veer so much towards the busy.

While I felt that the book provided a good sense of closure at the ending to the trilogy.... the one sentence epilogue killed that and left me wanting to know what happens next.... sadly this is a trilogy, so that won't happen :(

I am SO sad about the ending of this book. Beware, all 3 stories are great, with a little too much "Mab changed your contract again" used at times, but its fun, dark, sensual, and it has all that magic some people (me included) love. But this ending really did break my heart, why oh why couldn't she end up with the man she chose?!
