Jeda's love for the girls is that of a true father willing to give anything for their safety.  I was a little disappointed in the ending since it left you with no real conclusion.  Although I read many book series I usually prefer when there is some resolution at the end. The book was a definite cliffhanger.Linda TonisParanormal Romance Guild
