Well...that was INTENSE.To say The Artists Trilogy is a wild ride is an understatement. This series is unlike anything I have ever read before and each book just has this way of making me feign for the next book the second I am done reading the current one. Karina's writing pulls you right in and makes you part of the story. I feel what the characters are feeling, my heart races, my stomach drops, I flip to the next page as quickly as possible NEEDING to know what is going to happen.Karina also does a seriously kick-a s s job with character development. There are so many important people in the very intricate plot and somehow there is not one character that I don't enjoy reading about (even if I'd like to knock a few of their heads together.) She does a great job with alternating the POV between Ellie and Camden and always switches at JUST the right time that makes you need to speed read to get back to his or her POV in order see what he or she is thinking or what is happening. I really love being inside of both of their heads and seeing their inner struggles. Camden's inner dialogue makes me LOL more often than not and it was really interesting to be inside of his head as evolved into being a part of Ellie's crazy world. Being inside of Ellie's head is also a treat. She has this way about her that makes me root for her no matter what situation she may put herself in. Although sometimes I want to shake her and knock some sense into her you can't help but feel for the situations she keeps finding herself in and understand the decisions she is forced to make.If you have read the first book and the novella in this series (which you MUST do before you read this book) then you know about the oh so important question...Are you TEAM JAVIER or TEAM CAMDEN? How Karina can make me switch my mind so many times blows me away. I guess I never TRULY stray from being Team Camden but oh lord of all things holy, how much hotter could she possibly make Javier? Every time that man pisses me off I swear off liking him AT ALL. Never again, I say. Well guess what, I spent most of this book questioning my morals and wishing Javier would come and take me away for a few days! ha! But seriously, I think it takes a great amount of talent to create characters you can hate so much one second and love so much the next.Obviously I really really enjoyed this book and have enjoyed all of the books in the series. I definitely would recommend starting this series to anyone that hasn't read it yet and pretty much DO recommend it every chance I get.Can't wait for the next one! Is it October yet??
