It's so hard to put all my thoughts into words. I would definitely say I liked the first 2 so much better. What Pip did at the 60% mark had my jaw on the floor, but not in a good way. SHe didn't have

to kill him. She just didn't. She could have gone to the police, she could have just run, she could have done so many other things. But kill him brutally? No. She was completely blinded by all the pain she's had to endure. It also bothered me how there were so many people she could have reached out to for help with dealing with her trauma. But she chose to shut everyone, even Ravi, out. Plus, the police's complete denial that anything was happening felt like it was done for the plot, not because that would really happen.

I need to go read a happy rom-com or something light after this book. I would say this was my least favorite, considering all the twisting of justice in this book. You can't justify Pip or Ravi's actions to me. Will forever love the first two books but this one is not for me.

Although the “mystery” wasn’t very mysterious, everything else was fantastic.

I really like this installment. It starts of slow with Pip dealing with her trauma and starting to suspect she is being stalked; this part is a little jarring as it's very heavy and repetitive, but near the middle, the book speeds up and damn... It is the perfect circular ending to this series.

I was wondering what could possible happen after

Pip escapes from Jason

around the middle of the book but I was pleasantly surprised.

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.
