The characters were only reacting to situations...sooooo....you have to read the last book to get any type of satisfaction in the trilogy, period. It's rather annoying because this is the first time she's done this.
I've been really unhappy with this series - and since she's with an Agency6 pub I paid $14 for the ebook form of book 2. When the final book is released I'm buying a used HB for a couple of dollars. She turned me into a lost sale...and I usually buy everything of hers.

FYI, the third book in the series (Changes) came out about two months ago. No idea how long this series is going to be, but it's not a trilogy. Things still aren't resolved and I still have questions about the history of the main character. I'd recommend checking the book out from your library.
