This book is a series; however, the books can be read individually. Personally, I read this book first and the second one but have not got around to the third. This book was one of the most detailed, plot twisting books I have ever read. I read this with my mom, and I definitely recommend you read this at the same time as someone. It helped us discuss and keep each other on the edge of our seats. If you are looking for some mystery, romance, suspense and even a little sadness this book is for you. I definitely think it is for mature readers but makes for a fantastic read. I especially loved the ending of this book. It was not expected. You can tell the author put a lot of time and effort into the plot. On the plus side there's a movie!
