ok so look. i hated it but loved it. i get the mixed feelings because i felt them all too. that is why it’s going to be a 5-star for me.

there was a good chunk of the book where i thought pip – and me lowkey – were hallucinating because it threw me off that much. a plot twist!? but at the same time, it kinda made sense storywise.

all in all, my biggest takeaway from this series is FUCK 12!

oh, and their non-ending ending wrecked me.

ms. jackson, i am kindly asking for an extended epilogue, please and thank you.

♡ Cold Case

♡ Feminine Rage

♡ How to Get Away with Murder

Wow, what a roller coaster this book was.  The most tense out of the series for sure.  I got through the first part then quickly worried how everything would come together by the end.  Which I’m super happy with how this ended.  Everything came full circle and it was so satisfying to read even if some parts were anxiety inducing.  Pip really slayed with her last case (pun may or may not be intended).

And yes, this book also has stunning formatting with all the extra details in the design of the book.  I absolutely loved this series and highly recommend it.

Spice Level: n/a
