I think this was my favourite book of the entire series. I have never had a book be so tense that the pit in my stomach doesn't leave the entire time I'm listening to/reading it. Amazing. Unfortunately the aftermath and ending dragged a bit too long for my liking, but fantastic story overall. Would definitely recommend this series.

This was a let down unfortunately. The plot was predictable, the author doesn't give her audience enough credit for being able to work out very obvious plot twists, and Pip was a bit insufferable as a character. Strongly disagree with the final actions on a moral level. And many incoherences with events of previous novels in the series.

Actual rating is 3.5

Overall this book wasn’t terrible it had its good moments it had its bad. My big thing was the action point happened early I found ended fast but it also arrived at that big point kind of quick at least for me. I liked how the action was built I found it over way to soon. Also once that was done and they were setting max up for the murder I was bored like it was just points to me that didn’t really matter like okay certain things were interesting but it seemed like the part of the movie if it were a movie you’d skip over. I also really hoped the book had ended differently like I guess I understand why she had to cut off ties with everyone but really like I found it over kill her whole reason why. I feel like it was missing something for me for the end. I also thought that whoever the DT killer was going to be someone other than Jason Bell that’s who I assumed it was but I was hoping for someone that made sense that would have made me like omg you but that didn’t happen. Anyways I enjoyed the whole series every book may not always be what is expected but none the less I really enjoyed it and wish I could read them again

Det var en twist som jag typ inte väntade mig alls? Inte alls som de andra två böckerna, men när jag väl började läsa var det hur spännande som helst. Vet dock inte om det riktigt var min typ av story, även om den var bra.
