Okay, I had a love hate relationship with this book. It was hands down the best book in the series. Everything comes full circle in this book. One of the best murder mysteries that I have read.

Sadly only 3 stars for this book. Loved the first 2 in the series but the 3rd just wasn’t the same. Pip isn’t doing it for me in this one, can we have the old Pip back? Also mad about how it ended.

im so obsessed with this trilogy. this final book was as good as the previous two. so many plot twist where i thought i knew how it was going to end, but i was never right. really enjoyed reading this book, im kind of sad that i finished it

The service es as a whole was really well written and THOUROGHLY thought out. The third book definitely does a great job trying the series together. That said, I won’t likely read another book by the author. The ending was abrupt and unfulfilling and it seemed to me like she ended it that way to be edgy and manufacture outrage but it largely left me unfulfilled and pissed off.  So many hours and pages for such a passive and abrupt end. I was flabbergasted. I finished this a few days ago but couldn’t write a review because I was too mad.
