Sadly it seems the adventures of Zeeta ends with this book. Zeeta and her mom are in Mexico managing a bed and breakfast for tourists. Wendell is there interning for the turtle center. Zeeta is also looking for her father and his family.

Everything seems wonderful and jusy maybe the wandelust is out of her mother and this will become home. Only someone wants them gone and things happen trying to get them to leave.

We have an array of color characters adding a layer of humor to the story. Also locals give us the flavor of Mexico. We see Wendell and Zeeta relationship deepen and Layla starts a new life.

I NEED ANOTHER BOOK TO SEE IF WENDELL AND ZEETA GROW OLD TOGETHER

Love these books. Great trilogy for teens looking for stories set in exotic places with very real characters.

I always resonate with Zeeta's quest for a home, and was quite pleased that she found one in this book.

I couldn't stop reading this, and so I finished it pretty quickly. Way good

I feel so terrible for ranking a Laura Resau book so low, but I'm several chapters in, and I just can't get hooked. It's too predictable and redundant, and I just don't like the characters much anymore. Le sigh.

Zeeta and Layla have moved to Mexico and are running a small resort near a town famed for it's beaches where sea turtles lay their eggs. Zeeta's boyfriend, Wendall, has joined them as well and Zeeta thinks this is paradise. She does not want to ever leave this place, so she is doing everything she can to get her mom to sign a long-term contract with the resort owners. However, odd things start disturbing Zeeta's paradise: poachers, jaguars, witches – plus she is still searching out her missing father and begins to worry that maybe her relationship with Wendall is not as solid as she used to believe.
Quite predictable but readers of the series will enjoy this book. Others will need to find the first book as it does not stand well on it's own.

The conclusion of Zeeta's search for her father plus some ooey gooey love stories and sea turtles. What's not to like? Unless you didn't like the first two books.

I adore Meche. I find the characters strong and compelling. But the plot? Not so much. The sense of place is excellent, the flavor of the people and the the food and the environs very distinct. The people themselves are very compelling, original and so totally believable that the tortured plot shows up in bas relief.
