This was my first Cindy McDonald read. I am so glad I was able to participate in this tour and find a new author to add to my favorites list! Incredible book. Although it is book three in the series, it is fully able to stand alone. I had not read the first two books, I have since gone out and bought them, and I was not lost nor did I ever get the feeling that I had missed something vital.
About the book: It is well written and engaging. It was fast paced, but didn't leave anything out so I never felt like it was running away without me. The plot is multifaceted and each piece is carefully created and intricately woven together. The characters are great. I usually find myself choosing one favorite character in each book I read, but I would be hard pressed to pick just one in this book. I love the relationships between the West family members, everyone should be able to feel that much respect for their father and that much devotion to their siblings. The characters are constructed with just enough flaws to make them real and believable, but also enough amazing attributes to leave you searching for such a person in your own life.
You get to see the characters deal with, be confronted by and experience a wide range of emotions and undercurrents that are found running through this story. I found myself experiencing it all with them, I was so into the story that it all felt personal.
I was glued to the pages as the tale unfolded to culminate at a fulfilling, yet leave you looking for the next book, ending.
