Whoa, what a doozy! Well, hopping over to next book which according to this is called The Mystery of Time, but your author page says it's The El Jardín Paradox, so I assume you changed it at some point!

So many questions but yeah, so relieved that wasn't the end of Edward! Luckily, by now, I know that's not your style, so I feel somewhat comforted

Oh man! Couldn't they even get just another hour or two with each other? You're cruel, girl!

4 days? That's how long they've been there? Well, damn!
I suspected Alistair of something, but certainly not that. Sort of makes sense, though

That was a lot!
So they defeated the sea monster, but almost drowned. Edward and Bella kissed, which was sweet, but how much did it actually mean since near-death and all.
Then these new people came and Bella connected with their leader. Just wow

A sea monster? That tracks, I guess. This story is insane, but I'm not complaining

Well that was all sorts of ominous

The place is wild! They're literally inside the volcano?

Huge mutations? Yeah, sure! Why not!

That was one hell of an alcohol run, wasn't it? Emmett's speech was beautiful and turned out to be exactly what the group needed!

Uh oh! Cracks within the group isn't good!

Hmm, well, Carlisle sounds like a cozy man

Is their flirting about to be taken to the next level? ;) at least they found a way out, but I'd never in a million years walk into a pitch black cave without a flashlight!

With Edward's behavior up to this point, I wonder how much of his bravado is just a front

Uh oh! They're being watched by ... something
