There's much more Christian thoughts in this book than I usually see in this series, especially on forgiveness. (One of my friends often comments on these books that what the characters believe isn't usually stated so that they could believe in anything--but I don't think that's true in this one.)

I did like that Rae's father tried to give her plausible deniability by not telling her about his actions, but I didn't like that he kept her in the dark when it probably was going to endanger her. I also understood Hunter not wanting to tell her the truth, especially at first when she wasn't thrilled to see him. I respect that he did not want to spoil her view of her late father. But at some point, I felt like he really needed to tell her what had happened so that she was aware and maybe so they could connect the dots. ( )
