I wish I would have known that this series does not end. There is little bits that are learned at the end of each book but there is no ending to the story. This 4th book in the series is the worst so far. There is very little story line and no conclusions. The only thing this book managed to do was to add more villains and more mystery to the series, forcing you to pay more money for mediocre books if you want to learn how it all ends. Oh, and guess what, you have no idea when that will happen because the series is still being written. I might be dead before the series is over! Not worth it! I'm done with this series, I decided I can live without learning how Alice fairs. ( )
