Thoughts: 

I did enjoy this book more than the 2nd in the trilogy but truly feel like this story line did not need to be split into three books it was repetitive with their on again off again push and pull not moving forward with the plot but then coming back together for spicy times while not resolving any of their issues.

Aiden and Elsa both have a shared tragic past that even though Elsa can't remember what happened she is still drawn to this boy... who is very possessive, jealous, and throws extreme temper tantrums if he doesn't get his way... this being said this whole series has thrown me off that these people are still in high school but they are trying to act so much older.  Aiden and all of his friends need mental health help they have all the red flags.

This book finally gave us more of the back story of what happened as Elsa gradually regains her memories that she's been cut off from for so long and things were wrapped up by the end... I was skimming through more of the spicy parts to get to the end faster and don't see how they could get in the mood to do certain things when they were in certain situations like... there is no time for that right now!  The 3 books were over 900 pages and didn't need to be.  

This series for me has been like a reality tv show... is it the best out there?  no... but I have to keep reading this it's over the top dramatic and I can't stop myself from wanting to know what happens next. 

Have you read anything by this author?  Have you read this series?  what did you think?
