My Rating: 4 Stars
What a satisfying conclusion to the Hope and Glory series! Luke has been a character who's story I have been looking forward to for quite awhile and it did not disappoint. I really liked Marianne and thought she was perfect for Luke. The story was interesting and moved really well. I enjoyed the look into the fight to make our food safe. What a battle that was! All in all, a great ending to the Delacroix sibling's series.
I received this book from the publisher and was not required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
