I think it is understandable that not all subplots have an ending as they also happen in real life. However, it is nice to know that the author had nicely done an amazing wrap up in the bigger issue.

This was one of those books that I had to wait and see what other readers were saying about it before I made a decision about what I thought of the end. At first, I thought the story looked like it ended in a hurry.

I love the series. The story ended the way I imagined, but I felt the author ended it too quickly.

The story didn't seems to end to well for me. The author made a lot of effort in building up the stories. At end the author lost track of the vibe. Yet it is an interesting book and i enjoyed it.

The ending was rushed but helped to uncover most of the mysteries. It will be awsome to see Hillary reunite with her mother in the sequel.

Although an interesting book, the end was a little disappointing. It felt rushed and had a few unresolved plots plus it was a little predictable . This dampened my enjoyment of the book. I just wish more effort was put into wrapping up the book.

I also like the allusion to the next book at the end. I really enjoyed these characters and am glad it is a series.
I prefer a story ending completely, and the reader can start off a new one in the next book. The wait for the continuation of a story can indeed be tiresome.

I like the fact that each series had it's own story line and not reading the previous series wouldn't stop its readers from not understanding the present one. I prefer a story ending in a book though.

I felt things were wrapped up nicely, if a little quick, but it definitely left things open for the next book. But I enjoyed that as it makes me more excited to get my hands on the rest of the series!

The story was engaging and the mysteries were quite something. Yes the mysteries were wrapped up well but still suspense of the story was still there.This story can atill have a continuation.

In my opinion, I think the author tried to wrap up all the loose ends with an expected sequel implied.

I agree it was too predictable and seemed more like a convenient way to end the book. The only thing that truly surprised me was Sarah's death.

I felt like the author resolved all the subplots, but I was a little disappointed by how quickly it ended. It felt a little too quick after all the buildup.
