Query: I liked the book

I don't think this was made to be a "stand alone" book, it was obviously part of a series. I read the first two books and really wanted to know what happened to Jane and Angela, I liked them. I know one of the reviewers complained that this was the first book in the series that she'd read and there were too many references to past events. I believe that is the same in any book series. If you don't start from the beginning you have a difficult time understanding the characters and their backgrounds. I personally dislike books in a series that go on and on explaining past events and taking up book space with that. I'd rather just get into the new book in the series and go on from there.
