"Okay so I'm only going to write one review for this series, cause it was the BOMB!!! I saw this book at my moms for like two years before I picked it up and boy I am glad I did! This book had so much drama! The characters were a mess. Every time I put one down I HAD to have the next one lined up and ready to read."
