Ever go into a book thinking it was the last in the series, not wanting it to end, only to realize it isn't? Yeah, that just happened to me.  For whatever reason I thought this was the final Hope book and I was equally excited and sad about that.  I'm not ready to leave these crazy wonderful characters behind, luckily I don't have to!There is a lot to love in this book for all the Hope series fans out there.  Mostly, Kayden.  It really feels like his book.  Rose delivers a huge dose of his background, most notably - his early relationship with Daniel.  This is what I loved the most about Lost Hope.With a previously cold and distant yet intriguing relationship between the two, it was amazing seeing them in the past when they were so so close.  It gives an almost nostalgic feeling, which is pretty amazing considering it's the first time we've glimpsed it.  But that's how I felt.  Giddy (I don't do giddy normally) and nostalgic.  Each flash back with them interacting brought a huge smile to my face.  Well, all but one...that one brought tears to my eyes.All you Kayden fans out there will love his larger role.  You Daniel fans won't be disappointed  though either.  His angsty face is still there and his tender moments still salted in.Lost Hope delivers the same formula as the previous title in the series; action, emotion, humor and some true coming of age moments.  It's those moments that give the story such great balance. In a fantastical series of events, the characters learn real life lessons and always grow from them.As always, I'm looking forward to going wherever Frankie Rose leads me next.
