Ratings and reviews

All 4 books are stories that are well-told. They keep you reading to find out what will happen next. The only thing I didn't like about the books was the endings. Each book felt incomplete. They eventually ended up weaving a good story together, but even the final ending was anticlimactic and too simple for how complex the story was.

I purchased this book and now when I try to read it the screen goes blank. It tells me each time that I have to redowload and it still doesn't work. It was a waste of my $17

Overall I liked the books and how they all came together in the end but I wish that it didn't jump so much. To me the ending wasn't that great, I wish there was more closure especially since not all questions were answered.
