A Must for Michael and Maria fans

This book is probably my second favorite in the series, next to the first. It is a must for Micahel and Maria fans, and for the other couples as well. In the book, Maria has Nicolas's ring that she picked up that night at the mall. She notices that the ring gives her some powers, such as healing, and most importantly, she can see what someone is doing at that moment. Meanwhile her relationship with Michael is growing. She doesn't know if what he feels for her is merely a big brother kind of love, but she knows that she definitely likes him. In this book we get to have a glimpse into Michael's life, and his rough time at the foster homes.Isabel is still despondant over losing Nickolas, but Alex is still there for her, even though she tossed him aside for Nickolas.The three aliens are learning a lot more about who they are and how they came to be here, from Ray. He is also teaching them some special powers.Max tells Liz that they will never be together, and so she is very angry and very hurt, and as a result desides to forget him and move on. She tries going on some unsuccessful dates with a guy named Jerry. Max, who still loves Liz, spies on her by shape-shifting, but she recognizes him. Every time Maria uses the ring, unknown to the others, to help find their ship, she experiances some frightening consequences. And then one night while going to visit her, Michael sees her passed out on the floor with a bloody nose, a result of using the ring. Now he and the gang must save her from a certain death...This book is a great one because it explores all of the characters more deeply. --Rachel

Continuing saga of Roswell high teens gets better & better!!

I love how Ms. Metz writes these books with a center point on 2 characters but never loses track of the story. Take #1 - Max and Liz...#2 - Alex and Isabel, #3 - Maria and Michael. You get to learn about each character more and more in each book without getting confused to who's doing what when and why...I loved how she wrote in Maria finding the strange glowing ring and she had these psychic powers when she used it. You can really see how badly Maria wanted to know what its like to be "one of them". The whole book pulls at your heart strings in romance, makes your heart stop for action and suspense, and always wanting more!!

Melinda Metz really knows how to put you on the edge!

This Book is about The Stones of Midnight, which Maria finds on a ring at the mall while hiding from Valentini (Book 2: The Wild One). Maria suddenly has powers to see what other people are doing at that time, but what she doesn't know is that it is putting her in grave danger. The book as an open ending that drives you crazy after you've finished it. I just finished the book like, 5 minutes ago and I can't wait for Book 4!!! Warning: If you haven't read books one and two, this book isn't as good, so for goodness sakes, get one and two!

It is da bomb!

Maria has a secret - the ring she found gives her strange powers. Whenever she wears it, she can see through the eyes of other people. Which means she can look through Sheriff Valenti's eyes to find the wrecked spaceship. And if that doesn't get Michael to notice her, she doesn't know what will. . . . Michael is thrilled that Maria wants to help him search for his parents' ship. Especially since it gives him an excuse to spend time with her. But he can't help wondering about this new power she has. Where did the power come from? And more importantly, could it put Maria in danger? Roswell High, No 4 is called The Watcher
