That's one thing I loved about Jessica Dotta's Price of Privilege series. Some goals are achieved in each book and the story moves forward, but enough is left unresolved that I couldn't help but read the next one ASAP! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156258899660674193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552597514486208109.post-24767599163991861812015-04-24T15:00:26.639-07:002015-04-24T15:00:26.639-07:00Thank you for stopping by and commenting, Joan.

I have a clue planted at the end that will lead into the next book. <br /><br />A few years ago, I read Mary DeMuth's Daisy Chain trilogy. The killer wasn't revealed until the third book, but she kept the suspense through all three.Joan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430939897829160498noreply@blogger.com
