Book description available via Amazon.
Based on some of the other reviews I've read, it seems like I'm in the minority, but I thought this book was a bit slow to start. However, I'm glad I stuck with it because it improved A LOT as I continued reading. In fact, I read most of the second half in one sitting because I didn't want to put the book down! I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Oliver and Vivian, but the secondary romance between Oliver's cousin Camellia and Vivian's brother Gregory almost stole the show. I really liked Gregory - he had some of the best lines in the book, especially during the scene when he encounters Camellia sneaking out of Oliver's house to meet her stepfather. The mystery of who was behind the jewel thefts was well developed, and I was completely fooled about who the villain was right up until the moment of reveal. Overall, while I may not have enjoyed this book as much as the first two in the trilogy, it was still an engrossing read and nice conclusion to the series. I have yet to be disappointed by a Candace Camp novel, and this was no exception. I look forward to seeing what she plans to write about next!
