My Review:
I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
The feud between the Scot and Blackwood families has been going on for many, many years. This of course has left Cassie Scot and Evan Blackwood; who have been sweet on each other since childhood in the middle of both of their father's fight all these years. But when Cassie learns the true reason behind their feud she becomes angry herself. Now Cassie hates Evan and wants nothing else to do with him ever. Evan himself is shocked at the real truth too. But at the same time he can now understand himself a lot better.
After learning the truth Cassie couldn't stay in town any longer with the one person she was so upset with being so close so she left and spent some time in Pennsylvania. Upon her return she sees how far the feud has progressed, her family has taken a hostage as well as put out a million dollar reward for Evan. Cassie knows that she has got to put a stop to the Scot's and the Blackwood's fighting before someone ends up dead. She is going to have to make both families grow up and stop acting like little kids.
Cassie is one tough little lady for someone who has no magic of her own. She is the only one in her family born with no magic. But she still knows how to defend herself with her magical potions which she now carries on a belt. Cassie is one brave girl who will go up against anything or anyone to save people. She will walk right into the middle of danger all by herself to try and save another human being even if it means she may lose her own life in the process.
Cassie and Evan both go through a lot of emotional situations in Stolen Dreams. Cassie is use to taking care of herself and Evan wants to take care of her himself and this can cause some conflict between the two. Evan can be a little overbearing at times. But Cassie can get herself into some very dangerous situations and then she starts calling on Mr. Evan to help her out. But no matter what is going on in their lives and how they feel about each other they each still turn to the other one when they are hurting and need help.
Stolen Dreams is the last and final book in the Cassie Scot Series and I am so very sorry to see it end. I would love to know more about Cassie and Evan's lives together and how they do deal with all of the grief in their lives among other things. I would also love to more about her mother and father's story and why they ended up where they are now. I have loved following Cassie along on her journey through the Cassie Scot Novels from the first book to the last book. If you have not read any of the Cassie Scot Novels you don't know what you are missing out on. If you have not then I highly recommend that you read the books in order. I can't wait to read about Madison and Kaitlin's stories in the spinoff series.
