Honestly, there was a lot about this book that had me frustrated and annoyed. There clearly were way too many secrets be kept all around. I was sick of hearing someone say they would tell the whole story later or when they finished something else. It's like everyone knew the secrets that would solve the puzzle and problems in place but no one would share them. It's like their parents wanted the problems. I think it finally turned around and got better for me when Heaven ripped into them for this very idea. When she let them have it about keeping secrets that could solve all the problems she was going through I finally truly appreciated her character. That being said though, I did not get in the slightest why she decided afterwards that she wasn't sure if she wanted to marry Dylan and why she refused to even see her. I understood his reason for needing space from her, but there was absolutely no logic behind her needing or wanting space from him. I am intrigued by Faith's story line because clearly she is much more involved than she appears to be in this book, and while I am quite certain I have figured out who the father was I can't wait to see if my suspicions are right in the next book because I KNOW there is more to that story then told in this book. The reference to Layne's parents was a little annoying since beyond their names there was NO information at all about how they knew them or why it mattered who his parents were. Obviously I am going to venture that they were the third fated couple, but I still have no idea and that's just annoying. Now about Layne himself, I'm sick of the love-sick for Heaven thing since obviously nothing can come of it, and I really don't want to read any more about that because the pages of turmoil between Dylan and Heaven was more than enough for the entire series. Let them be happy and let Layne find his perfect match. Clearly I think it is supposed to hint that Layne and Faith were the unfortunate couple but I don't believe it. Truthfully, I think the unfortunate couple is Hope and Scott and that Layne has just yet to meet his mate (and I really hope that happens early on in book 3) but I may just be wrong, guess I won't know for at least another year =\ ugh.Overall, I really didn't like the beginning, I truly was frustrated and annoyed, but by the end I was very much into the story and was left wanting so much more (mostly in a good way). I will absolutely watch for book 3 and read it as soon as it arrives
