About this ebook

Locked away at Pecan Place, Jessie finds her situation to be even more dangerous than she feared. While she struggles to maintain her sanity and discover answers about the group that seems less and less like any legitimate government agency, Pietr fights to keep their relationship alive. But very aware that his mother's time is running out, Pietr makes a deal he doesn't dare tell Jessie about. Because the deal Pietr's made could mean the death of far more than his tenuous relationship with the girl he loves.

Ratings and reviews

First of all, the author needs to get a good Russian-English dictionary. She needs to do research about the culture and language before she actually writes about it. I mean, Russians don't speak like that. Second of all, the plot is really confusing. Third of all, how is it that Jessie's closest friends and family only find out now that the Rusakova's are werewolves? How did she return to her previous life so easily after the mental asylum? Finally, why would the author start writing from two point of views in the third book when she wrote only from Jessie's point of view in the previous two books?

Live this story. The trials and tribulations of being a teenager ×100. Draws on all the emotions. Great!

I like it a bit so bit!
