I was so excited for this book especially after how well the last one ended and this book didn't let me down! This was so much better than I had anticipated and I am really shocked! Some of this book was really sad but there were a lot of kick-ass parts and even some bittersweet moments. I really loved the characters, old and new, Cremer does a great job making lovable and believable characters. This book had me captured from the first page with its brilliant weaving of the story and the great characters and I was in love! This is the best one in the series yet and I am psyched for the next book! This book was incredible, and I can't even explain how good it was! I didn't like the ending because it was a total cliff-hanger for the next one, and I hate cliff-hangers! But they always work, and I am so pumped for the next book! Nightshade is definitely one of the best series I have ever read!
