Find Me Where the Water Ends by Rachel Carter
4.0

Oh man, this is the perfect ending to this trilogy! I was completely blown away, and read the book all in one sitting. When you don't need a bookmark, that's a sign of a good book.

The futuristic setting was very interesting, with the holograms and traffic grids for cars and computerized contact lenses. Very cool, and the perfect backdrop for more crazy missions and adventures with the Montauk Project.

The stakes are really high in this last book. Everything is on the line; Lydia's family, her relationship with Wes, the evil reach of the Montauk Project, and the future of the entire world... it all hangs on Lydia's decisions, and every little action she takes could mean the end. The suspense is horrible/wonderful!

There are a couple of death scenes that made me cry my eyes out, and my heart got all broken up in pieces, then slowly stitched back together again through the story. Gah! I can't handle it. I'm still mourning over those beloved people. I'm literally tearing up as I write this. Musn't. Cry. Over. Fictional. Characters. Nope, too late. Waaaaahh!!!

Lydia goes through some major changes in this book, and comes close to losing part of herself. I was right there with her the entire time, feeling what she was feeling, going through those difficult situations with her! I just adore her character development through the whole series. Brilliant writing!

Wes is finally coming together as a person. That mystery that has shrouded him from the beginning, and made him such an interesting character, begins to be resolved, and his true personality begins to shine out. What a beautiful character! I love him to death.

Tim is my new favorite! I loved his relaxed personality, so much in contrast with all the tension and suspense going on in the story. He's a smart, sweet guy, and isn't afraid to risk putting his true self out there to connect with people. He's an incredibly important addition to the story, and changes the whole dynamic of things. I just want to give him a big hug!

There was a lot of tension with several supporting characters, both from the Project and from the Rebellion sides. Do we trust them? What are their real motivations? Can they be persuaded to join the good guys, or will they betray us at the first opportunity? Such good story-telling. Really kept me guessing right up to the end.

I really hope this author is working on something new, because I could read her stuff all day long!
