I wish I would have read this series in order. I read the first book and loved it, I read the 7th book, and now the 6th. I would have liked to see the progression of the character more gradually. I really liked Roe in the first book and she seems a totally different person in the 6th and 7th - which could make sense from all the plot twists and such of the books that I haven't read. I was not surprised by the ending of this book because I had already read the 7th book.
This book was pretty dark actually.
