damn, what an ending 🥲

A jaw-dropping end to a phonomenal series. Honestly, I think this is the best YA mystery series I have ever read. This book hooks you in with the mystery of Pip's stalker but about halfway through, drops a bombshell larger than the book itself (which is considerable compared to the two earlier ones). From that point it becomes so gripping and terribly emotional that I sat down and finished it in one sitting. The ending was sooo sad- the way Pip just left Ravi there!! And after what he said about marriage!!! Auaghhhhhh!! I really hope there will be a next book otherwise.. I don't know what I'd do. Would definitely recommend to any YA mystery readers and read the first ones before (like a sane person), as part of the magic is seeing Ravi and Pip's relationship developing so that you know them and what they've been through up until this book.

Sorry for the rambling and the size of the review- this is probably the biggest one I've written, tells u something doesn't it?

So the main character witnesses a murder among other very traumatic things and her very loving parents and friends ans herself just go "Yeah thats fine, who needs therapy and counseling" 

This got really annoying really quick so I stop listening.

Read September 2025
 
Initially I liked it. It’s a little slower at the start but, dealing with the fall-out of the previous books, it made sense. However, I didn’t like the direction it took in the second half. Still had me glued to the pages though so it wasn’t all bad.

Worst book in the trilogy. Started to feel a bit silly after the halfway point. But it was entertaining.
