First book of the month, yey!
Now, the book: It was a good book, certainly not my favourite of this series but it was good nonetheless. It plays with certain ideas and concepts that I liked and I enjoyed reading it.

The only reason I even considered giving this a star is because of Bonnie.
Island of a Thousand Springs was a good novel, but I wish it would have stayed a stand alone and that this book didn't exist.

I HATED the ending.
To me, it would have been fantastic if Shane left Rachel and found someone else who did really deserve him and give him all the love he spreads to the world and more. Damn. This book was not for me.
