Review: I'll miss this series, but I'll re-read!

The final episode of Turbulence is here, and I'm both sad to see the story end and thrilled to see the growth of Paul's character.  I wanted Paul to be the good guy so badly that when he pulls what appears to be selfish stunt at the beginning, I was as outraged, disappointed, and hurt as Dallas was.  How could Paul do that?!As with every Jordan Castillo Price book, nothing was quite as it seemed, and Paul's actions were much more thoughtful than they first appeared.  Both Paul and Marlin had an admirable depth of character by the end of the story.  I freely admit that I misjudged Marlin as badly as Paul did at the beginning of this series, and over the last few episodes he charmed his way into my heart.  Watching Paul move beyond his initial judgements (about Marlin, about spirituality, about Ralph) was my favorite part of the series though.  (Seeing his relationship with Dallas was definitely the sweetest part.)**SPOILERS**We never do get to find out how the Turbulence formed, and the Turbulence is still the same as ever at the end of the story.  I thought I would hate it.  I thought it would feel unresolved, BUT Ms. Price does not give a quick, trite ending.  She instead manages to inject a feeling of realism into a paranormal story.  The characters don't get to have all the answers tied up with a nice, neat bow, and they understand as much as they can about the phenomenon.  Life is often exactly like that...we understand as much as we can, and we carry on anyway.  Paul and Dallas have a future together that still includes the Turbulence, and I can't believe how much I like it that way!
