Review: Disappointing... Abrupt ending.

I read through other reviews to see if I'm the only one who felt that "Dying to Return" felt incomplete... I don't think I am being too critical either. I loved the story, I just wish the puzzle pieces all fit together. It's like there are extra pieces that won't fit, ever.The series starts very well. "Dying to Forget" leaves no plot-holes or anything to make the reader confused. It's a great length and the story is wonderful.But then the second book feels a bit rushed. I felt that the author wanted to quickly get the story out and the next book would fulfill the needs of the reader and peace everything together.I was wrong."Dying to Return" read like a novella and the plot was not fulfilled. It doesn't feel like it is one of those stories where the author purposely left the exact ending out for the readers to ponder, this book kind of left out an ending; Period.At the end there becomes a love triangle between Sloan, Andurush and Piper but there aren't any hints of who Piper will choose to be with....nothing to suggest what is going to happen.And Sloan's character seems to change completely. He goes from being head over heels for Piper and then after several years of not seeing her he runs off to bury himself in his work??Also, how come all of a sudden relationships are being had? Why is Kerry-Anne dating someone? If Niles and Edith seemed to have to hide their romance then why is it okay that Kerry-Anne and Will are "dating?"If Piper and Rush can change clothes then why doesn't she insist that everyone is allowed to change clothes? This seems silly but I can't imagine the people at the station not being jealous that Piper is no longer in her pajamas.And then the situation with Andella asking when Piper will come back but Piper and Andurush haven't discussed that?The seer thing... How is opening up one's mind to all the knowledge available is "training?" If that was all they had to do then why take so long?I don't even understand why Piper being a Seer can help the Station in any way besides helping the children.Also, why are the two stations filled with only English speaking Americans? What about the other countries? It seems odd that only a handful of humans from America hold the interest of beings like Andurush.If Piper can actually make the living do her will then why not help children not hurt themselves and get help? That seems like a good cause.Anyways... The story is fictional so nothing needs to make sense. It just doesn't seem like there are enough answers and I hate that the series ended so abruptly. :(I actually feel like I want a refund.
