Another great one!! The suspense is always my undoing bcuz it just takes you completely by surprise. Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, another monkey wrench is thrown at you. From the Rev wrecking havoc to get what he wants (Peyta) to Ronnie's connection to him, there is always so much to take in and digest. Ruby however was startin to annoy the hell out of me in this 3rd installment bcuz, even tho I understood her reasons behind her sarcasm and accepted that's how she is, it became a lil too much for me therefore annoying. She used her sarcasm as a coping mechanism to avoid talkin about or dealing with situations that were important, like when it came to dealing with her feelings for Cooper and Sean. I hated that she always tried to avoid tough situations when it came to them or other tough issues. Point is, she used her sarcasm a lot to avoid anything she felt uncomfortable with, and all I wanted was to simply get to 'bottom line'. I felt her avoidance and sarcasm was a bit over done in this book. Another thing that annoyed me was, as much as Ruby loved Sean, whenever she was in his presence, it seemed she was always a bit too hostile with him and I didnt like that either. It had me thinking what her definition of love meant. I know Sean made a deal with Sophie in the 2nd book regarding Ruby, but it was only to keep her alive and I thought that was beautiful (loving someone enough to let them go). So Ruby's actions toward him after all was said and done, were a bit disappointing, intentional or not. Hopefully things will be different in the 4th installment as far as her sarcastic-avoid all things-flight or fight-attitude goes. Other then that a great read. MUST READ PPL.
