I didn't realise this book is the 3rd in a series, but I'm pleased to say it reads well as a standalone.  This is my first book by this author and although it is well written it didn't quite hit the mark for me.  I flew through the first part and loved the game changing twist, but the second half was less compelling and my mind kept wandering..  I did enjoy the character of Lily and I may read The Kind Worth Killing just to meet her again.
