They saw the problem, butted heads, worked together, solved it, kissed like maniacs. One thing I loved about the love story was that while there were troubles between Rachel and Logan, they didn't drag on between the books. I was expecting a bit more of a battle at the very end, but I still thought the action was good. The characters were definitely the high point, since even the villains could be seen as real people. Rachel was a powerful lead and Logan wasn't a stereotypical male lead, though I have to say that my love for them was rivalled by Quinn and Willow, two serious badasses that I only wanted more of. It was a fun world filled with well-rounded characters, realism (especially when it came to pain– yikes!) and some harrowing adventures. Anyway, I really really really liked this series.
