This book is way darker than the first two and follows a different kind of story if that makes sense 
I just love these characters so much!!!! 

Ad the beginning it’s kind of slow pasted but when things start to pick up it’s going real fast I couldn’t stop listening!

Omg I'm so sad I'm done with this series. I'm going to miss it very much. Pip and especially Ravi. I will say he has been my absolute favorite throughout this whole series. I will also miss Pip and her amazing intelligence. Sarge and Ravi will stay with me for a while.
On to the actual review for this book I will say if I could divide my ratings it would be 5 stars for part one and 3.25 stars for part two. I get Pip was having PTSD for most of this book but I didn't like how she was in this at all. Her personality was so off compared to the other two books. The plot after a certain point became kind of predictable too ngl. I wish that Dan da silva was involved somehow since he was a suspect in her theories in all three books. It was a bit of a let down lol. I hates the ending of this, what happened between Ravi and Pip. I wish we got more of her life at college and I wish there was an extended epilogue at the end of the last page. But overall this series is 5 stars from beginning to end. I will miss it very much and I'm hoping the TV show does the book justice. This series will definitely be on my top 10 for the year despite 2023 just beginning lol. I can already tell I will be going back to the books and look at parts I've highlighted. I enjoyed this trilogy very much.

The book starts out fine. I really enjoyed books one and two so I had high hopes for this one. I understand that a lot of this book focused on Pip dealing with trauma and it couldn’t be sunshine and roses, but as soon as I hit the 50% mark the book took a turn that did NOT make sense or sit right with me. Trauma changes you but for that big twist to happen and know it would be the focus of the rest of the book, I just can’t. I actually asked someone to spoil it for new and after the sting that the rest of the book holds, I made the right decision.
