I could not finish this book fast enough!

In this installment of the Killer Unicorns, more is revealed, bit by bit. We find out what happened to Brandt, what the Remedy is, some about Cory's problem, what Gordian has been up to, who Astrid's father is and Astrid has a sister?!!!!

This was a roller coaster road, things are bad, then they are good, then bad, and poor Astrid, whenever things seem to be going well, her world always becomes unraveled. Speaking of Astrid, she is experiencing quite a transformation. She is growing into her powers and gaining a deeper understanding of her connection to the unicorns. At the same time, she struggles with her role in their world. Is she a hunter?

I really enjoyed this book and am hoping that all things will work out for Astrid and the other sisters of the Order of the Lioness.
