Finished!!1. What was your initial reaction to the book? Did it hook you immediately, or take some time to get into?
They always seem to hook me immediately. I don't know why I am so sprung on these sorts of stories, but I love them. Maybe it the time period but also the characters.
2. Do you think the story was plot-based or character driven?
There were a few new characters introduced in this book. Not sure though if its character driven but more to do with the plot.
3. What was your favorite quote/passage?
Page 290 "With all my heart,...... It belongs to you, Charlie. I belong to you, and I want the world to know it"
Pgs 292 "You're a wicked woman. But you're my wicked woman"
4. What made the setting unique or important? Could the story have taken place anywhere?
I love the setting and I think the setting makes this series unique, therefore the current setting is perfect.

I would love to run a home for kids like that. But I also know it's not always flowers and sunshine with them. My kids were so good and then I see my sisters struggling with their kids. They ask me what I did and I told them I spoke to them like adults and gave them choices with consequences. I saw them as little adults.LOL
One is in the army married with three children. (male)
One is in collage graduates next year then planning to join the air force (female)
Anyway about the book I do love the boys! and I also want Alice and Seth to end up together. Who better knows about supernatural things and can handle Alice dreams.

Description:As Charlie and Lincoln’s lives settle into a harmonious pattern, a new threat arises that could have far reaching effects for the royal family and Lincoln’s parents.
When a seer warns the Prince of Wales that his life is in danger, only Charlie and Lincoln take her seriously. After all, what sensible person would believe a gypsy who claims the danger will come in the form of the prince's dead father?
A meeting at the palace sets them on a path that takes Charlie back to her old haunts in the London slums, on the hunt for a man who can change his appearance. The new threat is their most dangerous yet, but for Lincoln, the biggest concern isn't confronting the shape-changer or meeting his parents for the first time, it's whether Charlie will put his engagement ring on her finger.
