Comparing this to the first two in the series, I think it's the weakest but I'll admit that the last 100 pages had me hooked.

The premise to start felt solid, then I felt we jumped the shark a bit, but I was pleasantly surprised how Jackson roped me back in.

An up and down thriller for mystery buffs and true crime girlies!

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.

Wow! What a great end to the trilogy! I love how all the books were connected and everything was tied up nicely. CRAZY twists and jaw dropping moments for sure!

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