So much love for this series.

[Sam@WLABB]

This book is called "Friends vs. Family". In this installment of the Ghost Bird, Sang is struggling with her biological family and her new circle of friends. She questions loyalties and obligations. What is expected? What is normal? The boys continue to take her further into their world. In the meantime, we learn a whole bunch of stuff, pretty much in the last two chapters. Sang's Dad? Sang's Mom? Sang's Sister? The Academy?

Again, the characters won me over. They have many cute little adventures, which are wrapped with abuse, danger and betrayal. Sang also is still needs to work on those social skills, but the boys are more than willing to open her eyes a little bit at a time.

I feel like we are getting closer and closer to what the Academy is. Therefore, I will need to read the next book.
