I was so stressed for the entierty of this Book, I never wanted to put it down. It was so well crafted, I really loved it. So sad, I have reached the end of this trilogy, Pip and Ravi have my whole heart ! I Love Holly Jackson's writing, I can't wait to ready her other Books!!

This book was a lot darker than the other two. It might be considered a YA books, but I would say it is for older/more mature YA audiences.

This book is merely dark honestly but it is so captivating. You definately notice a difference between Pip in the previous books and this one. But it is still a mesmerizing book.

Moderate: Animal cruelty and Cursing

This book definately contains A LOT of explicit scenes pertinent to murder and how to cover it up. Also includes emotional abuse. The talk about murder though is categorically the culmination of all things, specifically the dread of death and the covering it up as mentioned earlier. This also rrgards to getting away with it and different ways on how to succeed it, along with framing it on someone else.
