I loved it!

Looks like Camila's powers are growing stronger. And omg what a shocker even thou I had a feeling but still...once you read it you find yourself saying, "I knew it!". (Don't want to give it away).

More like a 3.5
I read these books in 2 days, no matter what math says. Started it in December one day, put it down, and then picked it up and finished it in January. I stayed up late reading this one, eager to find out what was going on. Let's start with the flaws.
I don't get it. Why did Tommy do it? It's not like he had a freaking motive...I think. I read this in about four hours, so I may have skimmed some info. But, seriously? My second flaw was Adam. It seemed like Laurie was just making him rude, while he was so sweet in the other books, so Camelia would end up with Ben. Adam was my favorite character, and then in this book his personality changed completely.
And, this book lacked the suspense of the last books, but I cannot judge this book by the others, because that would break my reviewing rules, but I'm still going to throw it out there. It seemed like Misery was just there to be the one stalker there is in every book. And this lacked the chills.
Everything else was good, and even though it would be good to give it a five or a three, I can't. These books are an obsession, and I liked the ending of it. Nuff said.

These books are easy reads. I like them all the same but there is something way too predictable about them. I knew Ben would come back, I knew Camelia would save Sasha, and I knew all would be alright in the end. Even though I knew that everything would turn out ok, I still had to read the book because I started this series so long ago. The story is still cute and fun.

First, I am so glad this series is over. Second, I was actually really enjoying this last book. I loved the twists and turns this book took but the conclusion was seriously lacking. I don't know why I had high hopes that all of my questions would get an actual answer. But I can cross this series off my list.

I have to say, I was hoping for soo much more from this book. The character changes in this was just too much (Alex
Spoilerfrom perfect to oh you're too sad I don't think this will work.
and Ben
Spoilerfrom being a complete mystery since DAY 1 and then all of a sudden he comes back telling her he loves her and wants to be with her, like his change in character was just too quick I wasn't prepared for his love
)

I loved this entire series but this final book seemed like Stolarz was just trying to finally finish off this series. It felt like the exact same plots from the other books, but didn't measure up to them. And MY GOD
SpoilerCamelia! Really?!? She literally just goes up to EVERYBODY and tells them about her psychic powers. Like not even caring that the most likely response she'll get from people is that she should be put into a mental home with her aunt (mother). She never thought things through, like maybe bring a weapon or something with you to help you out when you get to the house Sasha was being held in? I mean from the last book when you got knocked out you should've learned your lesson by now.


AND THEN THE PLOT
Spoilerlike why kill off the bad guy like that? I wanted to know things. I wanted to know the reason behind him having Sasha record her likes, dislikes, why she "came with him", and not once did we really understand or even see his character except from a little perspective from Ben. Honestly! And then the girlfriend coming into play? I just couldn't with the ending.


The only reason I gave this book 2 stars instead of 1 is because I obviously love when Camelia sculpts, it's just mesmerizing. But I was really disappointed with this ending to the series.

wow, best of the series. Amazing ending.

The best part of this series was really reading all the things that Camelia goes through and who and what she becomes after it all. She's amazing in her maturing and growth and her ability to embrace her ability.

and by far the best was her growth in what she wants. Finally defining what she wants out of life and what she is willing to accept. This is her hardest task and her biggest growth yet.
