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".

4.5

To be fair, the trilogy just kept being a bit less good with every book but saying that, I still see this trilogy as 5 stars as a whole. The first book I gave 5 stars, the second 4.75 and this one 4.5. I still find them incredible and a lot of fun to read, I couldn’t put them down. A lot of morally grey things happening in this which I like, books should make us think, what these books definitely did. I would recommend this trilogy to everyone who likes mysteries.
