dark mysterious sad tense slow-paced

The ending of the series was satisfying in a way although the body count got to be ridiculous. And it seemed that through the entire series, the killer was omniscient and omnipresent. Why Freida continued to wander the streets in the middle of the night while being stalked, and her friends seemed to be oblivious to their danger despite evidence to the contrary, didn’t make a lot of sense to me. I wanted to see what happened, of course, but I’m relieved that I’m finally done the series. 

De afsluiter van deze serie... Ik moest even wennen aan het karakter Lola, maar door het kat-en-muisspelletje zat ik er al snel goed in en was het moeilijk om het boek weg te leggen. Toch vond ik de ontknoping net niet spannend genoeg en ik blijf net als zovelen met de vraag zitten: Waarom was Dean Reeve zo geobsedeerd door Frieda?

Overall what a touching series on the power of firendship and found family. Lola, Lola, Lola. I don't understand in that instance why she didn't immediately tell Frieda so she could be taken as well as her parents into police custody and out of th equation. I also love how you on the run with somebody who has kept herself completly off of the radar for how long and you decide to go against an instruction she gives you because you the person who freaks out over the smallest thing knows better. Frieda has a bit of kicked puppy syndrome which allows her to pick up strays almost every other day. I really liked the end where they touched on all of the victims alive who could credit Frieda with something. I did wish only in the end that she decided to go into MI6 with Levin who I assumed he worked for. Only becuase she obviously has such a distinct skill that could help so many people. But I also totally understood her unhealthy attraction to it and the self awareness she had of that. And at the end of the day how heavy the pull towards peace could be. It was hard for me to pay attention to a lot of the small details and characters.

Lola is the least likable character ever. 
I’m so glad to be done with this series.
