- Sarah, Amazon


"Everything gets more complicated in this book. I was hooked on to it and the story gets super better. More twists and revelations will come right at your face, and by the time you think you're going to bed, you'll be tempted to read one more page, then the next, and the next, until you finish the whole book."
- Leigh, Little Book Star 


"The first two books were full of twists and turns, but they had nothing on this book "
- Ariel Avalon, Amazon


"Everything gets more complicated in this book and Rain’s past and family tree becomes even more dysfunctional and twisted.....but I LOVED IT! It was like a story book version of ‘Desperate Housewives’ or a very tense soap drama filled with dirty family secrets."
- Nourin, Goodreads

Praise for Judgment 

"A great conclusion to the series, bringing everything together into a satisfying and memorable climax. Part courtroom drama, part YA the mysteries of the previous books, the key relationships and events are all delivered in Jade Varden's clear, crisp writing. This is a great YA series, one of the best I read in 2012 - definitely recommended."
