The Judgment really had me on the edge of my chair. Having read the Thorn already, I sort of expected some things to happen to Rose and Hen, but no!! This book really through me for a loop and I have to say I was really worried about the girls throughout this book. There were a lot of twists and ...

All right, I just finished this book, so I probably shouldn't be writing a review before I have time to absorb it. But there are some things I want to say before I forget, so I'm doing it anyway!I picked this book up because I've read Beverly Lewis' Shunning trilogy (and seen the movies), which I...

I really did not expect the ending in this book. It worked well and was great to read.
