I've been waiting on this book for what seems to be ages...and I had a bit of a hesitation with starting it, because I knew it would be over much too soon.  And it was.  It depresses me some, to think I have to wait another year, or longer, for the next installment.As for the book, I've said it about the last 4, amazing.  There aren't a lot of books I can truly say stick with me.  These, I dream about them.  I dream of Safe Haven, of Adrian, Angela, Marc, Kyle, Neil.  I think about them, wondering what's going on in the camp, where they'll go next.  I guess it's Ms White's writing style, but I feel as though I'm actually in the camp.  I can close my eyes and picture the characters, the setup, smell the decay and rot.  With so many books, I read them and forget them.  These...I don't.  Not even close.So, what I love about them -The characters.  Even the secondary characters are very well developed.  Angela, Marc, Adrian, Kyle, Neil, Sam, Kenn, Becky, Jennifer.  All of them.  You get to live inside their heads, know what they're thinking, feeling, you get to really know them.  Heck, I want to be friends with most of them!  I love the characters, even the ones I hate, I still love how they're written.  I like watching how the characters have grown and matured over the last few books.These books are SO long.  Which for me is a huge plus.  I read fast, and an average book takes me 2 hours to read.  These, I can savor them for about 2 days, if I slow myself down.  What's funny is that these books, for me, don't seem to drag.  I don't find myself skimming, which I do often in shorter books!  I read every word, I stay focused.  And woe to anyone that disturbs me!!I have to say I hated the ending!!  Not really, but I hate that I have to wait a year for the next installment.  Hey Ms White...how about posting some teasers on the website every few months?? That would do a lot to keep me fixed up.... Because waiting to see how it all turns out with Connor and Adrian and Angela and finally Kendall, and I have knots in my stomach, thinking it may not turn out as I hoped.  I guess I'll have to wait to see.Am I the only one who thinks this would make an AWESOME TV series??  Something on SyFy network?? LOL.Anyway, great installment.  Book 6 can't come soon enough, but I'd settle for the next Bachelor Battles inbetween.
