3.0

The book was ruined because they spent too much time trying to round out the series (which they did not do well) rather than focusing on Will and Emory. Also the complete 180 with Alex and Aydin was ridiculous.

If you like miscommunication, toxic relationships, and hard to read abuse with very sweet flashbacks of falling in love: this ones a great book to read! 

This book was a good way to end the series, although this one personally was the “least realistic”. Will is hard to love for me, but the flashbacks were making me fall in love with him. Emory is very hard to love but for the wrong reasons for me.. she clearly is a victim in MANY ways, but I feel like she prolonged a lot of communication the entire book (NOT in the flashbacks though- that was reasonable given her situation). 

This book did have me fall in love with Damon even more, Kill Switch being my favorite of the series.
