The fourth book in the series, this one was about par with the second one (Melt Down). Lucy travels from Florida to New York City to retrieve her best friend and bring her back home... however, she runs into challenges at every turn. The characters involved are pretty well meshed out to be believable.But of course, Mr. Robertson enjoys writing double-plot books, and you'll not be disappointed here either. Ellie runs a farm in upstate New York. A person close to her adopted daughter is kidnapped and sold into slavery. It's off to New York City for Ellie and her daughter Dee to get them back. The self-appointed Sheriff of the region joins the adventure. At first we readers view him as worthless, but as the story progresses; we begin to see his true value to the two ladies.I have always liked how Edward Robertson wraps up the story, however; in this book, it seems he chattered on a bit too long. It didn't distract from the wonderful tale, but I did notice it. I also found the lead-in for book 5 (involving Tristin) to be smart marketing. Also gives us an idea of where this series is heading.A great read, but I strongly suggest you start at the beginning with book one: Breakers, and continue forward. It is not mandatory since these books are well written and will stand alone. But like a good series, you will want to enjoy watching it grow in front of your eyes.
