I really enjoyed this trilogy but I found the choices the main character makes a little frustrating and unrealistic at times. Girl I know you have reasons not to trust the police but like if you are for sure being tracked by a serial killer you gotta ask for protection even for your family's safety. I felt the ending was a bit rushed and sad but I do think it was satisfying overall.
