As always, I am an uber fan of their writing. Last book was longer, and I found myself finishing this one and blinking. Four hours later an I am stuck with wanting more.
Again.

The ending was great, not quite a cliffhanger but I really really NEED to know what goes on next. Like I said I am an uber fan, and wish I could bottle up their writing and force it to procreate in the form of more books.

So, about the actual book. Well written and deals with a lot of loose threads. Andrea lost some of her issues and developed a few new ones, Grendal still eats everything that can't get away, and Kate's life is coming towards the fight that we all knew was going to happen.
Except every time she turns around there is more family and friends. The balance between backup and collateral damage has always been a fine line, one that Kate fears to walk. Except she can't seem to help it anymore.
Poor Julie indeed.

An awesome read and Like I mentioned before, can't wait to read the next one.

2023 stress reread. And 2024, thanks to libby.

Took me a while to get through this one. Idk why- it just wasn’t as engaging as the previous books. Still a decent read and I’m still enjoying the world building and character driven plot.

If I could give this book a million stars, I would. This series is my Roman Empire. 

Son sahnedeki aksiyon çok kısaydı sanki. Bir anda bitti gibi geldi. Belki de ben çok aralıklı zaman diliminde okuduğum için böyle hissetmiş de olabilirim. Hikayeye devam etmek istiyorum. Ana karakterler tam istediğim kıvamda. Olaylar da ilgi çekici şekilde ilerliyor. Ama nedense elim okumaya gitmiyor

Mind blowing revelations and developments. Definitely felt like one of those preparing stages for oncoming mayhem. However, I have to say that I read a lot of snippets from Andrews' blog and was shocked at the changes they made to the organization of the actual book. I kinda have my head slightly unfocused as to which events actually happened in what way for some of those scenes. The small moments really form this book. The funniest moment was Kate and Andrea's banter about heffalump. Cracked me up!

I want to know what could possibly happen in the next book. So many things happened behind the scenes in this book. Hope there will be some POV snippets!

3.5 stars
