I did not love this one as much as the other two books. While it had just as many fun puzzles, twists, and turns, I think it struggled when it came to have a villain playing unsolvable games and the love triangle that wasn't. Both of these factors, plus the time skip a year forward with a fully satisfactory backstory explanation made it drag a little more. That being said, it was still fun and I think it redeemed itself some in the end.

A very fun conclusion to a very fun series! I think Jennifer Lynn Barnes did an excellent job of keeping a firm grasp on the story throughout these three books. The mysteries got twistier and more interesting without ever devolving into something too ridiculous to follow. The main cast of characters were endearing and easy to root for, especially as we saw them grow throughout the series. I do wish we got a little more about Nash/Libby and Rebecca/Thea but overall I thought JLB did a good job juggling such a large cast of characters.

I had a great time reading this series. I don't think it's for everyone, but I sure did enjoy it and I look forward to whatever JLB does next.

No puedo darle a esta saga menos de cinco estrellas, simplemente no puedo. La forma en la que me ha tenido OBSESIONADA y enganchada desde la primera página del primer libro, uf. No tengo palabras.

Pensaba que este libro daría un final cerrado, pero damn, necesito más. Menos mal que el libro de los hermanos sale pronto.

Este libro me ha sorprendido mucho. Es verdad que me ha enganchado menos pero los cambios en la trama UF, alguno me los veía venir pero simplemente me parece alucinante que la autora fuera capaz de montarse toda esta paranoia (porque sinceramente lo es) en la cabeza.

Sin duda, una de mis sagas favoritas. Nada más que decir, solo: LEEDLA.

Scandalously good. Twisting storylines and great intrigue from the beginning. Though the ending wasn't my favourite part of the book-- or how i'd loved to see the series end, it fits.
