I am not ashamed to say I cried when I finished reading this. I mean, probably some sobs and craziness, but it was a beautiful cry. It was taking a journey and realizing it was one of the best walks you’ve ever taken. You know, when it’s been cold all winner, and you get that first day of spring, and you can’t do anything but sit outside and take big deep breaths of fresh air? Well that’s this series. There has been nothing more amazing than taking this journey with the author, the characters, the fellow fans of this series, because it’s only once in a blue moon that you realize you have something this special on your hands. You know, I’m seriously not sure what I’m supposed to do with myself now that my book boyfriend is going away :( *blinks away tears* It’s like pringles, once you pop, you can’t stop, except now the cans empty, and every store is out hahahahaha yes, that was terrible analogies, but you get my drift :) You know what’s the best part, I DID NOT see a lot of those endings coming. Seriously, way to make it not so predictable, even if it rocks you to your core!Eden East starts immediately where Eden South finished, with a devastating blow, and a major character being kidnapped. I hate to say it, but this move literally brought everyone to their feet and ready to take on the world. Aiden has already given up so much for Eden, so when this directly effects Aiden, you realize how much all of these people really care for him in that short time they’ve gotten to know him. This makes things have so much more meaning. Aiden is one of the best main characters I’ve ever read. He’s one of the very few major heroes that isn’t all broken and sad and pitiful. LOL I know I say this, don’t get me wrong, he has flaws, but he tries to be optimistic for everyone else. He tries to be strong, so others have a shoulder to cry on. He’s always considerate. He’s always willing to go head first, to make sure that those behind him have a chance to save the day too. He’s a beautiful soul.There are so many major characters  in here, you won’t look at Wolf, Elisa, Logan (he’s still mine), Moose, Turk, Jameson, Callum, Rose, Rain, and Elex as sidekicks any longer. They will become the main building blocks needed for Eden to be Eden. There are no more side kicks. There are only equals. They are the heart and soul of the series. You can’t have one without the other. It says so much about the writing of Ms Stalder that she has created such a masterpiece of beautiful amazing wonderful world building and character building. No one is ever just a bad guy. Well, except maybe Aziz, he’s really a bad guy. But you’ll meet Elex and Callum, and though they maybe start out with you thinking they are bad guys, but you are going to fall in love with them!There’s just a few things I have to talk about, that I will try to leave it unspoilery…. Elex and Rain’s relationship- I am really happy about this and I have feeling we may see them again :) Rose and Callum- I think they may be one of the most wonderful couples of the series. Elisa and Wolf, I think everyone knew it was coming, but all those swooning girls are highly disappointed. Not to mention Logan, who lost his sidekick. Ah Logan, he will always be my jokester, who tries to lighten the mood and make things a little more fun :) Aiden’s final knowledge of who and WHAT he is, it’s amazingly epic. I DID NOT see that one coming, I mean REALLY! I totally kept thinking of things that were totally wrong. Turk, Jameson, Diana, I’m not sure I can say anything without ruining something, so just know something about something is happening there LOL and lastly, to the ending, if you had to have that ONE little mishap to lead the the happily ever after, I can honestly say I couldn’t be more stoked at this one. Even I can say that this is the perfect ending, even if it took some tears to get there. My heart is full boys, my heart is full (high five if you got that move reference :))! And my name looks damn good on paper… you’ll have to read this story to find out what that means :)There’s so many things this book has to offer. There’s fantasy elements, there’s action, there’s romance, there’s breath taking scenery, there’s a phenomenal flow of words that will literally take you into Eden. Hell, even if it were boring, I’d read it for the writing, but then it wouldn’t be Ms J if it were boring. I don’t think she could do boring LOL There will never come a time that I won’t buy anything that Ms Stalder writes, because she is a MUST BUY FOREVER! She has such a wonderful knack for taking a few words and turning them into a kaleidoscope of colors and feelings and wonderment. There is nothing left to say except please, PLEASE do NOT ever EVER stop WRITING! I need your stories almost as much as I love my fur babies- if you know me, you know that’s a tremendous amount :) There are no amount of PAWS for this. Take my 5 PAWS and multiply that times infinity, and then give Logan a kiss for me :)
