Review: Awesome end to the series

This is the third and final (for now) book in the Time Spirit series, which finally answers the question that has been threaded throughout books one and two - what are Gemma's parents up to?I have to say that I was surprised! I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't this - it's fabulous when an author can surprise the reader, and I felt like Melissa did. The escalation of violence and erratic behaviour from her parents, and the exchange student they planted into Gemma's life made things very difficult for her, but those were not the only challenges faced in this book, because Harrison's mother suddenly goes cold on Gemma, and neither her, or Harrison, can figure out why. The two struggle to figure out who they really are, and what that means for themselves as individuals, as well as a couple.There were a lot of threads to be tied up in the book, and while some of them were obvious, there were plenty of surprises - not everything is as you might suspect. I don't really want to say too much, because I would hate to give the ending away, but this is a great finale to the series, and I was really satisfied with how it was wrapped up. Gemma is an amazing girl, and my heart broke for her several times during this book. Still, she stayed true to herself, and pushed on despite the odds. If you've read the first two books in this series, then you NEED to read this one. You won't be disappointed.I'm looking forward to seeing what Melissa Pearl puts out next, and you can be sure I'll be grabbing a copy, whatever it turns out to be.
