Really disappointed with how this series ended. Having loved the first two books I thought I would really enjoy this one and for the first half even though it was darker I found it intriguing but it just back too unhinged and found it difficult to finish it.

I called the BBEG at about 30%. Around 60% through, I was confused why there was so much time left. There was a major plot hold in the beginning of the story that I kept thinking back to.

Why didn't anybody ask Josh who was watching their home in the first chapter???

 
I'm glad that I finished the series but this was my least favorite of the series for sure. 

The ending was interesting...?

I liked the start of the book where we got to see the real world trauma of someone who experienced a true crime, that was really refreshing and I liked the full circle thing but otherwise I hated this, it was so slow, repetitive, and boring, and I only continued because I wanted to finish the series
