" This wasn't as suspenseful as the first two books. Ariana isn't as calculating and crazy as before. In fact, she rationalizes things easier now than ever. Kaitlynn, on the other hand, has been extreme, and plays a more prominent role in the latest installment. As much as I like the drama revolving around her, I wish Ariana could deal away with her already. I'm just waiting for the devious and calculating Ariana to come back, so that I can admire her wits, but still hate her at the same time. "
