I hope there is another book after this one. I understand the whole them not being together because of all that they had been through with Dan and the killer, but to me it would have been perfect because they could have helped each other through everything. After Scarlett left to go to stay with Dan's family, Jase wasn't' really mentioned and I was really rooting for Scarlett and Callum. I wish that Scarlett and Callum's relationship would have went farther. But it was still a shock at the end and how it played out. I had figured out who the killer was around page 230. Scarlett doesn't know it was Lucy until the end of the book. Lucy wants to run the castle with Callum and they need to get married so that is why Lucy doesn't like Scarlett and shoots at her one day in the woods. And Lucy doesn't like her because she is jealous of her and Callum. Callum doesn't like her because he thinks she had something to do with Dan's death. When she gets there everyone is nice to her except Callum-Dan's twin brother that Scarlett didn't know about- and Lucy, Callum's girlfriend. Scarlett ends up going and staying with Dan's family after she writes them a letter saying she has something of Dan's to return and wants to talk with them. Half way through the book it picked up and the pages flew by. Scarlett and Taylor are already into trouble by chapter three. I like how this book started right back in to the mystery of who killed Dan. |
