Review of 'Black diamond' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This is an entertaining read. If I had read this book by itself, I would have rated it 4 stars. Given this is book 3 in the series and it has a nearly identical plot line to that of book 2, I can't justify rating this novel higher than 3.

I recommend reading... just don't read it too soon after book 3.
