I so enjoyed this one too, it was creepy in that subtle anticipatory way where I was just waiting for something to happen that would make me want to curl into a fetal ball and start rocking:) I agree with you completely on the love triangle, I found it unnecessary and thought there was more than enough tension and complexity with Montgomery alone that no one else was needed to tempt Juliet. I can't wait for book two though:):) Gorgeous review!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-91893679402122588442013-11-11T08:50:21.309-05:002013-11-11T08:50:21.309-05:00I really hope you enjoy it, too, Jasprit!
