I adored this series, but this book gutted me. While I wasn't sure if Kricket, Trey or Kyon would get a HEA, I certainly didn't want things to go down the way they did for Kricket. Trey gave her up to easily to save his family and friends while Kyon scared her as much as he loved her.

I realize this last book was the end of the series, but I'm hoping the author might give us a novella (or something) to tie up the loose endings and maybe, just maybe, let Kricket find the happiness she so deserved.
