I loved book 1.  Book 2 was enjoyable.  
I need to say that I loved Pip in books 1 & 2.  Sometimes she was focused on what she thought was right and bulldozed over people. but overall I understood her.

I have no idea what the hell I read in book 3, but it's like we lost Pip.  Yes, PTSD definitely affects people, so I would expect some changes, but I didn't understand her not getting or sticking with professional help.  At all.  And then she just kept making the worst decisions.  I still enjoyed the mystery and the tie-in with the other books.  Plus we still got Pip with her friends and family which I loved.

I just...couldn't with a lot of this book.  If I re-read the books it will not include book 3.

it’s really good how she solves each step to find out who’s stalking her but

the ending is really really sad and i didn’t like it. if it wasn’t for the ending i would’ve given it 5 stars

Disappointing. Unrealistic, ridiculous, dumb and underwhelming.
