It\u2019s been too long since a book was in the \u201ccan\u2019t put it down\u201d category for me. Started it last night. Fell asleep with it on my chest\u2026 woke at 3:00 AM to read some more. This morning I\u2019m snuggled down in front of a fire with a nice cup of hot chocolate reading it again and on page 117. It is a perfectly delicious way to spend this cold, rainy day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading your words made me feel like I was swimming in a supernatural world of intrigue. The plot kept my interest throughout and carefully guided me along. I \u201creached the end\u201d, thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, and was sad it was over. Now, how do I get the next in the series? What\u2019s next for Haddie and Thomas? Kudos to you Mr. Davis!
