I loved the plot twist so much because I definitely didn’t expect that. I’m so glad Cole and silver got their happy ending

3/5🌶️   HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS BOOOOK!!!! It’s crazy to see all the pieces of Cole and Silver’s story click together after reading six other books with them in it. One of my favourite plot points is when Cole and Silver bond over them not being pregnant. I get that it would be a relief since they were both only 18… but it was still sad seeing the both of them instantly falling in love with something and then have it ripped about from them. And because of that pain they connected on a deeper level (and now they have two beautiful girls… even though Ava is a little fucked up but it’s okay!) BUT THE PLOT TWIST AT THE END HAD ME GAGGED!!!! I was not expecting there to be two different stalkers, I thought the doll master was Adam… BUT IT WAS HELEN, COLES MOM!!! I also thought that Adam was the one sending the texts but nope… also Helen. And she was going out on runs to find people that looked like silver and assaulted them. Helen’s life is fucked, not just because of what she did but also because of what she went through as a kid. Anyways I think plot wise this was the best book… I do wish it was longer since we see their story happening within all the timelines of everyone else’s book (so basically the whole school year). I just think it was a lot happening and it could have been dragged out a little longer while also adding scenes from other books in their POVs like when Kim comes home from the hospital. But over all I really liked it and am happy we got to also see their kids stories.

Cole and Silver’s story was not exactly what I hoped it would be but was definitely worth every word. Cole was my dark horse in the race to be my favorite but ultimately he came in third, perhaps because Silver was my least favorite overall for the girls. I don’t think we felt her struggle as much as Elsa, Kim or Teal but ultimately it helped shape the Legacy series more clearly in my head. I love Rina so much I am really just nitpicking.

DID NOT FINISH: 0%

i was listening on audio and it was just not interesting me.  I was 30% in and quit.  I think the voices were too old for the characters, and that is always a turn off for me.  A 15 year old boy sounded like a 45 year old man.
