Roller coaster of emotions. Great characters. Epic plot. Fantastic final installment.
This book ended beautifully. I am very glad I finally got along to read it. This book is a perfect ending for the story itself. It was a little confusing at first and in the climax , but not enough to take hold of the story. That cover was murdering me because it was so elegantly designed. Now I'm jumping to the spoiler section.

I KNEW ASHLEY WAS POSSESSED. I GUESSED IT FROM THE SECOND SHE WALKED IN THE ROOM LOOKING ALL HAPPY!!! It disappointed me when sunshine was turned back into a human. I was also disappointed at the lack of clarification with Lucio's parents. I just feel that it could have gone more descriptive. But none the less it was still a great book

This series was the definition of "alright."
The first book was deeply enjoyable. Creepy enough, dorky enough, with enough heart to be an overall excellent cheesy YA paranormal mystery.
The rest of this is just... here. The creepiness really is gone after the first book once we discover a little of the worldbuilding and the vibe devolves into a late-season Supernatural feel, which is unfortunate.
Everything else continues to be fine, but that's about it. Sunshine gets more annoying as we go and she refuses to grow beyond her "vintage uwu" shtick into a deeper, more complex person.
She's only sixteen, so on one level I get it. Really though, she referred to Jane Austen as "Victorian" MULTIPLE times in this book alone, when any Austenite knows we are actually talking about a Regency or Georgian time period before Queen Victoria was even born.
If you're going to be this irritating, Sunshine, git gud.

it’s like the authors forgot lucio existed for almost the entire book
So to be honest I really didn't enjoy this book as much as I expected to. I am not entirely sure why that is, but a few things come to my mind. 1. I missed the emotions in this book. To further elaborate on that, two of my favourite characters died and I didn't even really give a shit simply because the writing lacked depth.
2. There was this huge build up and then the climax was absolutely disappointing. I mean they literally spoiled it themselves. If I wouldn't have know, that they had the wrong date it could have been ok. But like this? It just was terrible.
3. I also thought that all the characters were extremely bland. They even managed to make me dislike Nolan and I adored him in the first two books.
4. The story was extremely foreseeable even without Luiseach powers. Ashley gets possessed, Bastian was a traitor and Sunshine isn't the one who gets sacrificed. All of these were so obvious and that definitely took away from the story.
I'm sorry to say this, but this book just didn't work for me
