I was lucky enough to get an advance copy.  The deal was writting this review...... What a deal on MY PART!You must read the 3 books prior to this (Dusk Gate Chronicles series).  This is not a stand alone book.This has gotten to be one of the best YA series I have had the pleasure to read.  Yes it is a YA book.  No that doesn't mean we must listen to hormone induced, whiny angst.  How about a teenager who, yes, makes teenager decisions and mistakes.  Then is also real enough that like the rest of us with a good, normal upbringing listen to what is going on around us and try our very best to make good life decision.This book is not filled with sex.  The author does a terrific job of introducing normal, relationship affection. This can be read by middle schoolers, but will be enjoyed by adults too.The characters are well developed.  I continued thru the entire series to like each character. Watching them develop into awesome characters..... well, that is what we want to read.Will, Thomas, Linnea, and Quinn are fun.  They are great characters that thru the entire series you cheer for, cry for, or just plain cringe for.  The whole point though... you FEEL.  What a great way to bring emotion.... reading.Owen ends up playing a wonderful part in this book.  Never discount the power of a little brother. Seeing Quinn's EARTH family tied into the story was great.  Especially w/ how developed they already were in the series from the previous books.All reviewers so far have a wonderful point.  It is hard to write a lot about the story in the review.  You should read it.  There is no need to spoil it.  This is a fabulous wrap up.  The author pulled everything together nicely.  There has to be a spin off somewhere.  The side characters are too awesome to not read more about in the future.Quinn has some tough choices to make.  In the end, you feel her joy and her sorrow. Have fun reading this book.  If I wouldn't have been distracted by being Thankful for my own family, I never would have put this book down.  A terrific read.
