I really enjoy this series and honestly while this one felt a bit rushed in the climax it's probably the best so far but I do not think I would have liked it as much without the previous 3 books getting to know the characters and their personalities. I love the characters. Stevie and David belong together. Not sure why people want Stevie with Nate. Stevie her insatiable curiosity and with her relationships with her people make these books.
