The Lost Sisters Review

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Okay, this is a REALLY late review, but life has been pretty crazy and this review kind of got buried alive under my giant pile of review drafts. Thankfully, I came across it again (took a while to dig it back up).

As a fan of the series, The Lost Sisters was a pretty sweet treat for me. Even though I like Taryn just as much as everyone else….

(You know how much that is)

I have to say that this book did help me better understand Taryn’s actions better from book one, which arguably helped me to have a better reading experience in book two (and an even better experience re-reading book one). It’s also very interesting to see how (in his own twisted way), Locke actually did care about Taryn. Although I don’t agree (and would personally support anyone having a relationship with a person like Locke), at least now I can kind of understand the mentalities of the characters and the logic behind them.

It’s because of the things shown in this book that I finally realized why Taryn would forgive Locke and how “they love differently from us (humans)”. So that’s a positive thing I’m going to clearly establish in this review – this book is not useless.

Because it’s not useless, I’ll still recommend this book to fans of the series – even though I know there are a LOT of you out there that are like me and just loath Taryn and Locke (especially after book two)…

I still hate them. A lot. They are still horrible people. But I still read it because it helps me to read the series, which I don’t hate. This is why I’m still recommending this to you (who most likely also hates Taryn). Listen I understand, but just trust me. Okay? This book is really not useless.
