I loved Annie and Rafe, their chemistry was fun, engaging, and well laid out. Kari Trumbo covered some tough topics with them and integrated them in a compelling and straightforward way. From a dysfunctional family to OCD I enjoyed the dynamics of the characters and the interesting plot. A great addition to The Independence Island Series.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the creative characters, the emotional tugs, and for pointing the reader back to Christ.
*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

The ending Also made no sense, guy was having a meeting about the fact he was a 'trigger' (a cop that shot people too often) yet he killed so many other cops at the end and just walks away? Sooooo unrealistic. The premise of closing down the island was good but the way it's mentioned is like its common practice, I mean, surely shutting down the island would be something thats completely ridiculous and take more than 2 minutes to be decided?
They were given a time limit that in the end made no difference, why bother giving them one when nothing happens when it's not abided by?
The bad guy dies way to easily .(not that im a masochist LOL just that after all he does, he dies essentially from a really easy wound)

As a fan, it was fun to pop in to visit these characters in this October set short story. The plot was good and entertaining. It perfectly kept my attention for this short read. This is a short story that took me under an hour to read. Fans of the author will recognize Lucy as the star of her own series, and I enjoyed seeing her first appearance here as well as visiting the residents of Cranberry Island. Throw in a couple of delicious sounding pumpkin recipes, and you’ve got a festive winner.

It didn't stop us though. We still play it and have learned how to apply strategies to help each character meet objectives quickly.
We are considering other games in the franchise, but now the kids are hooked on gaming and we're trying new types.
Well worth the money for adventure and strategy for even seasoned players. The scaled difficulty and multiple characters make strategy and replay a must. The more people playing, the more the game seems to adapt.
Maybe not the best intro to new gamers, but it worked for us!
