Rating: 4 out of 5

4.5 starsI've been following this action-packed series, watching to see what will happen next. Winter's Wrath: Sacrifice did not disappoint! Dr. Williams reaches all new levels of evil, Meg's evolving powers have made her an emotional powder keg, and Cole's injecting himself with the Infinity serum has unexpected results. Romances bloom everywhere, and the love triangle between Meg, Cole, and Creed becomes even more complicated.First I'll explain why this review is 4.5 stars. For me, I missed a lot of the action that was present in the first three books. Most of it happened toward the end, and we spent a lot of time dealing with Meg's emotional stuff. I get that emotion is part of her ability. But after a while I wanted my girl to stop passing out and get up and kick some butt like she did in the other books! However, she seems to find her own in the end, which I loved and it made me excited for book 4. I also would have liked to see more going on with Alik as I can sense him growing as a meta and a person. I hope there's more of him in book 4.Cole began to come across as a bit selfish, but hey, he's a teenager. What teenager isn't selfish, especially when it comes to love. I'll be interested to see how things evolve, although at this point, I am squarely in Creed's corner. For me, he is the shining star of this book. Ever since I was introduced to him in book 2, I've been in love with him. My love lives on! Team Creed!Overall, this book is solid and entertaining, a fun read for young adults and grownups alike. The story continues, and I'll be waiting to see what develops next!
