It feels almost weird to have finished this series. At first I never thought I would read past the first book and here I am finishing the fourth one. I enjoyed the mystery in this one as well as the characters and setting. How the mystery unfolded was crazy and so was the ending.

This one was definitely my favourite in the series! It was fun to read about these characters outside of Ellingham Academy! I hope Johnson writes more stand alone mysteries in this series.

The murderer was pretty obvious once Stevie started investigating, but that didn't make this book any less amazing.

I was very excited at finally having a standalone BUT it feels like there is a lot of context and then the mystery is solved in 10 pages, v rushed :( and a bit out of field
