After

the death of Stanley

ensures that Pip may never be the same, she declares that her mystery-solving days are over, but when Pip notices strange occurances around her and the ones she loves, she brings herself to take one last case: the one that can fix her once and for all. The emotional ending to the phenomenal trilogy is bittersweet, and it definitely made me cry more than once. The fast-paced chapters and events, coupled with the vivid descriptions, made me understand the characters and motivations more than ever. Team Pip and Ravi forever!

Holy smokes was this a good book!

I’d honestly say that this is probably one of my favorite reads this year. The book wrapped up the AGGGTM trilogy in an amazing way, and it’s definitely worth reading.

I love how we get to see Pip become darker and darker with each book, and how she kind of gets corrupted. *This book is a lot darker and more gruesome than the previous two, so keep that in mind.*

It was full of twists and when you began reading it you really had no idea where it was about to end up. There were so many turns and plot twists. It literally had me biting my nails. While reading the first book I never could’ve imagined that this was how it all would end.

I enjoyed how everything came around full circle and that the events of all three books are tied together. Truthfully, I had my copy of AGGGTM next to me to go back and check things and figure out my theories - so I can recommend doing that.

And prepare yourself with some tissues for the ending.

All in all, Holly Jackson is a brilliant writer and I cannot wrap my head around how she comes up with everything! A must read for fans of the thriller genre - or anyone, really…

The TW may contain spoilers!

Favorite Quote:

Just as funny, as ridiculous, as the notion of decomposing bodies and the way we all become one.

This book is super good.

I love the main characters, especially Pip. She’s super independent and smart, and really, really cares about the people she loves.

All I can say without spoiling it is I really hope there’s more after this. It might not have been a cliff hanger ending but I just gotta know <what happened to pip’s family? did they ever find out? how did the trial go down? Three Minutes After The Verdict Ravi Reached Out 😭😭😭 what about their friends?? did the public find out jason is the real DT killer??> Such an incredible series, very worth the read.

Wow... an epic conclusion to an epic trilogy... Holly Jackson is the queen of plot twists and surprise endings, she truly is. This twist caught me completely off guard and even though I didn't like the turn it took, I can admire the way the characters grow and change as a result. Absolutely brilliant 👏🏻
