What was even going on? I'm seriously confused. Yeah, I'll admit that I was reading this in the middle of the night when I could not sleep but still?
I wanted to finish this book since it is rather short. But it was so confusing, too many things stuffed into one book, sort of jumping from one to another.
And after finishing this book, I seriously have no idea what this was about.
I'll probably refrain from rating this book because as I said, I have no idea what this was even about. But I have to mention that I was not exactly a fan of the writing style, plus the narration from the POV of the main character Isa was somewhat annoying....more

Ale upřímně, od něčeho co má hodnocení víc jak 4* jsem toho čekala tak nějak víc. Hlavně mám pocit, že autor místy až zbytečně moc okecával, takže příběh ztrácel na dynamice a člověka akorát mátl. Myslím, že se tam dalo v pohodě škrtnout 200 stránek zbytečností.
Vlastně člověk ani moc netušil, co ho čeká, protože anotace vlastně zahrnuje pouze nějakých prvních 200 stránek? Pak je příběh absolutně o něčem jiném. A myslím si, že kdyby kniha popisovala to, co tady přeskočila, tak by to bylo o dost zajímavější. Taky je tam těsně před koncem takový skok, kdy se postavy najednou znovu sejdou, i když byly dost daleko. Četla jsem to dvakrát a pořád jsem to nepochopila.
Tak nějak jsem měla problém si najít cestičku k nějaké postavě, nikdo z nich mě nezajímal a fandila jsem virákům, aby zas dostali sváču.
Druhý díl tuším, že mám doma, takže si ho asi časem přečtu, protože jsem zvědavá na dvě věci. (view spoiler)[Na konci Amy naznačovala, že je Peter něčím zvláštní, tak bych chtěla vědět čím. (hide spoiler)] a (view spoiler)[Ten konec? Co to je? Sara končí zápis mega happy, ale tak nějak to vypadá, že vše šlo do kytiček. (hide spoiler)]...more
Well, I don't know what to say. I wasn't really a fan of the previous book, especially because I never found a way how to like Hartley. But the HUGE cWell, I don't know what to say. I wasn't really a fan of the previous book, especially because I never found a way how to like Hartley. But the HUGE cliffhanger forced me to read this book asap. Well, after finishing my review, I feel like I'm even generous with my rating. Funny thing that I always realize how angry a book made me only when I write the review.
Let's start from the beginning. The whole "(view spoiler)[ amnesia thing (hide spoiler)]" it only seemed to me like the author didn't know what to do with the plot and thought that this would be an amazing plot or solution. Well, no, sorry, it was not.
I'm not a doctor but (view spoiler)[, so she remembers nothing, and they just send her to school? Like nothing happened, you would expect some sort of counseling and "transition," tests what she remembers and what not. I get that her parents are assholes, but I would think that this would alert social services or someone that a girl who remembers nothing is just sent to school. Same with Sebastian, he woke from god knows how long coma a guy that is going to trial for murder just gets him out of the hospital and then he is in school like a couple of days later. (hide spoiler)] Really don't get that and I would be really surprised if that were how that worked in the US. (view spoiler)[Talking about a guy who committed a murder. It was said that he was also being charged with an attempt to kill Ella as well. - Btw, when did he try to kill her? Because what happened at the end of the Twisted Palace did not seem like attempted murder to me. But still, she is a major witness in the case. He should not be allowed anywhere near her! But he can just come to the house where she lives? No restrictions on that? Seriously? (hide spoiler)] And since I'm already talking about the lack of action from CPS or anyone for that matter, let's add other issues. (view spoiler)[ So, at the end Hartley's dad is dead, her mother just packs her backs and goes away as well as her older sister. And no social services, CPS or anyone is involved when she leaves Dylan, her 13-year-old daughter with the family of the guy her 17-year-old daughter is dating? And do not tell me that it's the money. The case was under media scrutiny; they would definitely report on that. (hide spoiler)]
Okay, this feels like this review is going to be full of spoilers.
(view spoiler)[ I won't really comment on Callum going to Dubai to close a deal when his son is in a comma. If Sebastian was in a comma like for a month or so then okay but it was what? Days? Week? And he was off and left Easton in charge of everyone. As if he wasn't drinking all the time and Callum was aware of that. You would guess he would at least force Gideon or Reed to come back. (hide spoiler)]
As for Easton. In the last book, I was really angry about his behavior towards Ella. And to be honest several times in this book it was even worse than in the previous one. As well as his behavior altogether. (view spoiler)[He made no sense at all. He was just making things worse on purpose and then trying to excuse himself. (hide spoiler)]
Okay, so little miss Hartley. Still, don't like her. And have nothing much to say about her. Only that her actions were sometimes really stupid and forced her to do things were complicated. Maybe she should keep her mouth shut, just maybe sometimes.
The first half of the book is really slow and almost pointless.
We got some mandatory Felicity drama. Again sort of doing the same to get rid of the mean girl as Ella did. (view spoiler)[ Really don't get the Kyle thing. So Felicity set it up, and her parents just went with it? I understand that Kyle did it for money but don't understand why he punched her. Makes no sense at all. (hide spoiler)]
Then there is Steve who just won't go away. And I already voiced some of my issues about him in some of the previous spoilers. But let's add another. (view spoiler)[ So he has an ankle bracelet to monitor where he goes. And put that together with the fact that he should not be allowed anywhere near Ella he should be in jail for being at Royal's place. But okay, let'S pretend he could just order Ella in his car and all would be fine. Then to his suicide, come on, that was only a stupid way how to finish the book and close the Steve's issue without writing about the trial. (hide spoiler)]
(view spoiler)[Also, Steve just goes crazy, shooting anything and everything. It also gets revealed that Easton is apparently his son. Which was suggested in the previous book by Hartley's father. I didn't believe it because a) didn't really think the author would go for the Ella and Easton kiss and b)in the first three books it was hinted that the twins were more like Steve so it would make more sense if it were them than Easton. (hide spoiler)]
Also about Hartley's father who was just behaving really stupidly and I'm sort of surprised he managed to go on with it as long as he did. (view spoiler)[He also said that he pushed Hartley at the hospital that caused her amnesia. (really convenient) But I re-read her fall, and I do not see how he could push her without anyone seeing it. They were looking at her! (hide spoiler)]
Hopefully my last issue with the book. The twins and Lauren and anything altogether. Since the author revealed that the Royals were over, no more books, no-extras no nothing I'm really confused and maybe even angry because we always got just hints on them. A built up of their story to get people interested, and I really wanted to know more about them. And the author is just like: No book for them. Okay, then at least please explain the things in this book! (view spoiler)[ The author just threw there that Lauren broke up with them which made me really angry. It was same as with Steve. Just deleting the character so I don't have to bother with an explanation. And I thought I was angry after the previous book when Lauren went from the sweet and nice girl to a complete opposite manipulative monster. But this got me angry even more. (hide spoiler)]
Also (view spoiler)[Sebastian woke up after being super angry and rude which is understandable but we won't ever know if he gets better or what. (hide spoiler)]
Wow, after letting all of my anger out I sort of wonder if there is really something I've liked about the book. Also, as some people already pointed out there were some really unnecessary typos in the book....more

Asi po 70stránkách jsem musela googlit, o čem ta knížka vůbec je. Ale ani na 200 stránce se to nedalo číst. Žádná z postav nebyla nějak atraktivní, aby člověka zaujala. Děj byl prazvláštní. Ani si nejsem jistá, o co přesně v něm šlo. Ale nejhorší byl jazyk, kterým to bylo napsané. Dvakrát nedával smysl, autor něco vždy pojmenoval fancy odborně a hlavně vymyšleným názvem nebo takovým, co ma normálně jiný význam. Minimálně 10 různých věcí bylo nazýváno ''Manitou'', kdo se má v tom vyznat? ...more

It feels like it cowers really short amount of time which makes it feel like that there is nothing really happening. Though, I must say that I really dislike Julia and would not really mind if someone killed her. It seems to me that the romance between her and Lucas is only forced. I don't know why, if to make Julian and Lucas go separate ways since Julian won't definitely be able to live with Julia walking around freely. Let's see how this gonna finish....more
