Destefano, Lauren Sever, 384 p. Simon and Schuster, FEBRUARY
2013. $18. Violence: PG; Language: G (1 swear);
Mature Content: G.
In her latest
attempt to escape Vaughn’s clutches, Rhine takes Cecily, Linden and Bowen to
Reed – Vaughn’s estranged brother.
While they find a few moments of peace, Rhine hears word of her brother
– and it is not good. If she
doesn’t find him and let him know that she is alive, he may be driven to
further destruction. But Vaughn
will do whatever he has to keep Rhine under his thumb. Vaughn is desperate to find a cure and
he will use anyone in anyway to complete it. And he is sure that Rhine and
Rowan are the key.
While I was
happy to read a ending to Rhine’s story, I wasn’t satisfied for how it all
hangs together. If I point out the
logic problems, I will give away plot points, unfortunately. And the end is so abrupt I just can’t
fathom it. I know that kids who
have read the other two will want to read this one – I just wish it were as awesome
as number 1. Don’t buy too many
copies.
