I know it’s for suspense but I hate how the stories end on cliffhangers. I’m never satisfied with the endings.

I’m not very familiar with this franchise, but my students keep asking if I have any books from it and so I thought I should read one before committing to it.
I will say that these three stories were interesting, suspenseful, and intense. I just felt that some of the themes were too adult and weirdly enough it wasn’t the horror stuff that rubbed me the wrong way. It was a the fact that all three stories had some really intense relationship and interpersonal drama that I think is above the age level of the readers it is geared at.
Overall, this book kept me entertained, but I’m not sure how I would market it to my students.
