This book kept me on my toes the whole time reading it. It was definitely thrilling. There were twists and turns throughout the whole story. Just fabulous writing from a very talented author. This is an awesome series! You will learn everything about Mr. Rook's island in this book. The door was left open for a spin off and I hope it comes to fruition.

Although this book can be read as a stand alone, it is the third and final book in the Mr. Rook’s Island series. When last we saw our heroine, Stephanie, she had been kidnapped by mobster Warner, from whom she borrowed the money to get to Rook’s Island. We find her locked in his trunk and believing he is about to kill her. Using her head, she tells him that she knows how to get the money she owes him and promises that she knows how to get him to the island, which is what he really wants. Warner comes up with a plan which forces Rook back into the magic lagoon but at a terrible cost. Will he be able to save her? Will he be able to save the island, and does he really want to? The twists and turns in this book will keep you turning pages when you know you should be doing other things! In the end, once again Mimi Jean leaves us wondering if this is actually the last we will hear of Rook’s Island! This reader hopes not!!

Mimi has the best imagination. I’m definitely amazed at the conclusion to this series. Seriously good. Loved. Loved. Loved.

A beautiful and worthwhile ending (?) to a fun series. Love the characters and Mimi Jean’s funny, exuberant prose. I think I own all of her books and always anxiously await each new release, and this did not disappoint! Only sad I read it in one day and have to await the next new release.

This last book of the series seriously qualifies for a total white knuckle ride. This is Mimi Jean at her finest, doing what she does best. Messing with the readers reality. She had me checking mine once or twice during this one, along with a couple of "wait, what?" moments. Book three picks up right where we last see Stephanie, in the trunk of Prices car, headed to parts unknown. He wants his money or her life or both. He keeps her locked up for a few days, she's all for self preservation here and makes a deal of sorts to draw Rook's attention. Rook who didn't know she even left he island or why. Thinking fast she's trying her best to stay alive and gets Price to contact her father who she knows will contact Rook. She knows he's got money. Money she hopes will keep her alive. Contacting Rook, her father goes to the island and sees Rook and a plan is made. The book moves fast, the plot line is sleek and there's a lot of things that happen in between the pages as well. Rook travels to meet Price and his Stephanie and they return to the island together. Rook and his island family have a plan in place. So many twists and turns and truth is I felt like MJ upended Rook's plan, she's such a clever twisted writer. It's a fast read that will keep you turning the pages and certainly captivated. Don't even try to guess where it's going, just hang on and enjoy the ride. It's a wild one. I'm anxious to hear more of Wilma's story, which you'll find a teaser at the end of this book. arc gifted by author

What a wild ride this series was! I'm not sure how to describe it. It's a bit of the Twilight Zone, a bit of Fantasy Island and a bit of Nancy Drew. Weird combination right? Put it all together and you get a very unique storyline that will teach you to live life to the fullest and love can conquer all. This is not a standalone and you do need to read these books in order. I also recommend reading Wilma Salinger's part after the story. Once again, I'm not sure where the author is going to take it which just gets my curiosity going. ARC provided by author.
