After reading this book I felt like this series should have ended probably a couple books ago. It feels like it is just dragging along. You would think that with everyone going to hell to rescue someone that things would be exciting and interesting, but alas that is not how it goes. I am racking my brain to find something positive about this story but I just can't think of anything I enjoyed about it. I am really shocked by that because I really loved the first 4 books in this series, but either the quality seems to have deteriorated or my taste in books has changed... I'm not sure. Many fans of the Blue Bloods series will probably still be satisfied with this newest book, but I am just not one of them. I am giving up on this series.
1.5/5

I totally understand your frustration. I too adored the first 4 of these books, but I also have noticed the quality is just not the same. The way I look at it, the next book is the last so I might as well read it. As much as I love Jack and Schuyler together, the dialog between them is just painful. The whole "my love" drives me up a wall.
