This may be the sixth book in this series but it is the first book that I have read. In fact, when I first picked up a copy of this book I did not know it was part of a series. I am happy to report that this book can be picked up and read as a stand alone novel. Which, usually a lot of books in a series can be but sometimes books don't translate so easily.
Instantly, I connected with both Hope and Tucker. Although, I was not familiar with their relationship dynamics; from what I read and saw in this book, they seem to have a nice personal relationship. Yet, I will never travel with Hope or Tucker. They have some of the worst luck that I have ever seen. Even before they boarded the airplane; they were encountering problems. It only got worse once they were on the airplane.
The only downfall I had with this book is that I found some of the passengers to be very annoying. To the point that it took away some from the story as I was distracted by them. Overall, I did enjoy this book a lot and do want to go back and start at the beginning with this series. ( )
