Kelly Armstrong is a Favorite
I always know I will enjoy a Kelly Armstrong book. This was no different. I am really looking forward to the next one.

The hostile problem has now become the top priority for Casey and Eric as the council threatens to shut the town down after hostiles injured a hiker. However, Casey uncovers the truth behind the creation of the various factions in their area and the danger is even closer than they thought. At the same time, they are also dealing with the internal problems that come from a closed community. Knowing that this book is close to the end of the series, one can see where all the world-building is leading.
I adore this series and the characters Kelley Armstrong has created here.

This book probably deserves more than 3 stars but I’m pretty sure I’m burnt out on this series

Casey and Eric prevail again, and we learn more about what's going on behind the scenes.

I find these books fascinating. The idea of a town completely in the wilderness. The premise of this book brings back the question of the origins of the hostels. I felt that it was dealt with well and all of our questions had been answered. Based on the ending of this book I'm curious what direction this series will take.

Kelley Armstrong is a talented writer and I love the setting for this book. She gives readers a glimpse into the Yukon and I loved this part of the book. This is book number 6 in the series, and as I hadn't read any of the previous books, I felt like I was at a slight disadvantage, but only slightly. She does a good job of introducing the existing characters where you think you understand who they are and you don't feel lost.
This had an intriguing mystery and I liked that it wasn't obvious and some of what happened definitely took me by surprise. My favorite parts were the relationships - especially between Casey and Dalton and Casey and April, her sister. These were the best parts about this book.
Very much enjoyed it, and it might have been a 4 or 5 star read, but the mystery itself felt a little convoluted at times and there were so many characters to navigate, remember and keep track of. Not sure though if that isn't entirely due to my coming in at book 6, or just a lot of characters. I will be going back and reading the previous books, and any future ones!
Thank you to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

A letter to the author.
Dear Ms. Armstrong,
I have loved this series of Rockton ever since I read the City of The Lost. A town off grid for those in need, sign me up. There are great characters and unique situations. You have truly created indepth characters and the backtories that they have.
However what I am not happy with is that it took so long for the situation with the hostiles to be cleared up, a total of what three books and finally you have given it to us. However what now? How can one bring further development into a series when you have limited characters?
Nevertheless with all the questions I have, I can see this series going good places. But you need to turn Casey's guilt and mea culpa trip down a notch or two. I need to see the relationship between Casey and Dalton progress give him more of a voice. Please don't keep on repeating things. I love your writing style and the world you have built. But you need to expand.
I can't wait till 2022 to get the next book. I am a fan and will stay a fan of this series. I pray give us something more.
Regards
Kate
