Helpful Score: 3

Again, it must be noted that this book, like the first in this trilogy, is NOT a stand-alone read. All three books must be read in order if one expects to truly enjoy them. "Cascade" would make little sense if one picks it up without having first read "Waterfall", and, like "Waterfall", it doesn't have an ending. It just quits - mid-stream, expecting the reader to continue to the third book to find the answers and reach a conclusion. Annoying as that is, it is such a heart-pounding ride that, instead of chucking the book at the wall in anger and frustration at the author for such blatant machinations, I'm actually going to give in and find that last book.

In this installment, Gabriella and company are once again bouncing back in time, fighting for their lives and their loves. All the excitement is ratcheted up, as the sisters find themselves both hailed as heros and cursed as enemies with a bounty on their heads so high that danger awaits at every turn. The attempts at teenage dialogue is still as cheesy as in the first with words such as "lame" and "stress-o-rama" ("stress-o-rama"...really?!?!?) peppering the dialogue. The overall story is still as engaging and the ride so much fun, one can overlook those few flaws in an otherwise superbly written, clean YA romantic-suspense.
