I so badly wanted to love this book as much as I loved Binding 13.  It was a lot more emotionally charged and I simply was not ready.  It was such a good pace with perfectly timed comedic relief amongst the sad bits.

The ending was just a little lack luster for me.  I get that this is the end of Shannon and Johnny’s story; but I don’t think it teased Joey’s story enough to draw me in.  I am still going to read it, but I’m okay taking a break from this series for a little bit before I start.
