And Then She FellAnd Then She Fell by Dreena Collins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What’s worse than losing a child? Losing one and not knowing exactly what happened to her. The mother, Catherine, has accepted the fact that her daughter is gone, but she hasn’t accepted that nobody knows the details. She visits the place of her daughter’s untimely death, questions the employees, her friends. There is no way her daughter, Susie, just fell due to being intoxicated.
This book was a such a well written psychological thriller. Trying to piece together what really happened to Susie that night, with experts from “Susie” after each chapter retelling of what happened, could have happened, or maybe it really did happen one of the ways she describes, but which one is the truth? I loved the way this story was written and I cannot wait to read more from Dreanna Collins.

I loved that at the beginning of the book, there was a summary of what has happened in the first three books of this series. This was very helpful for me since I started on this book, number four. Kara wants to be a warrior, not settled down in an arranged marriage. With this in mind, she runs away in order to fight in the battle. Does Kara have what it takes to become an amazing warrior and for those around her to see her more than just a girl? This was a fun, action packed, mystical book.
