shiiiiit havde gemt det sidste kapitel fordi jeg troede, at det ville være super trist, men i stedet vendte jeg bare siden til den bedste slutning muligt

4.0

I really enjoyed this trilogy but I found the choices the main character makes a little frustrating and unrealistic at times. Girl I know you have reasons not to trust the police but like if you are for sure being tracked by a serial killer you gotta ask for protection even for your family's safety. I felt the ending was a bit rushed and sad but I do think it was satisfying overall.

The last book of this series took some rather dark turns. But I loved it all the same. The characters have changed a lot from the first book, but between all the darkness, you could always catch glimpses of the "old ones".
