Book 1 I got separately and have a review on its page. Basically - I loved it. Original idea, rather well done. So when I saw 1-3 together in one, I had to grab it up.As I started reading Book 2, I began to regret my decision. My biggest issue - so many questions (stuff brought up), and no answers. I kept reading in hopes of getting some answers... yeah, didn't get many (the mother issue is the only one answered).  The other issue with this book - I felt like I was back in high school. I mean, seriously - name calling? The need to rule the school, as it were. But, the ending was well done, even if so many questions were left unanswered.. so I continued to Book 3.And I'm glad I did. Book 3 was reminiscent of Book 1. An enjoyable story with a good pace. I was left with one question - the purpose of a clown in Hopi tradition - but that's minor and there was some information and I can look the rest up online.So, after finishing it all up, I had to wonder - was Book 2 written by someone else? It just doesn't fit Book 1 and 3 at all. Same character names, but Olivia - who I respected.. well, I lost all respect in Book 2. But, got it back in Book 3. Good thing that book was included in the bundle. Now, I'm looking forward to more, though wary (Book 2 was a major disappointment).One more note: I do hope the romance doesn't start taking over the story.. it's like gratuitous sex in an action movie. Throws off the entire flow, just for little skin to get people to watch (usually to boost some guy's ego...)
