Well well well.....
Their story is so beautiful and so ugly. I think the way it ended was so interesting because it felt like trust wasn't really a pillar in their relationship (even 2 years later), and they were both still content to live with that. I think that the second book in the series is my favorite because I consider it the most tender of the books in the series, but this was still a fascinating end. I think the author could have made it a duology, but I digress. The epilogue was so interesting too--the concept of them finding each other across time and space and finding each other in the good timeline and the bad timeline is so gorgeous...

I would give this series all the stars, more than 5, more than 10. I am going to say this is the best trilogy I have ever read, best books ever! Kallum and Halen are more than a beautiful couple, they are the dark couple I needed. I will mention another serial killer story, Butcher and Blackbird, which was a good story, but as I mentioned to a friend I want my serial killer romance to be darker. I found my darkness in Kallum and Halen. They truly are the Oh and the Ah, the end and the beginning the darkness and the light. I don't know if I can say enough about this trilogy - how everything comes back full circle, and things hinted at in Bad Things show up again in Wicked Things. I read the Author's note at the end, and there is actually symbolism embedded in the story - not symbolism your English or Philosophy teacher might find, but symbolism put there ON PURPOSE. I cannot say enough good things about this story...I am so glad I listened to the first two in the trilogy, and so glad I purchased my very own copies which I have flagged to be able to find my favorite parts and quotes.

The third and final book of the series hit the sweet spot while the first was rough, second was finding its footing. We finally learn what happened at the first scene, how they connected, and the wrapping up the case. They had clear everything out in the open between them and have equal playing field. Chapter 18 should had been epilogue since the epilogue was the what if part.
