I enjoyed this series but I think it needs to be read in order. Otherwise there are spoilers you will have for the prior books. I have enjoyed every book I have read of KWH. While I think she did a great job with the series I think she does better on stand alone books. This was series was like one long drawn out book. In fact it could have been 1 book. It is not like there are not books out there that are the length of these three books in one book.
