🔨 I've finished this series and it's bittersweet because while I enjoyed every page of every book, it's over. My journey with Pip is complete. This finale was equally thrilling and suspenseful. I did not expect this plot and was at the edge of my seat throughout. 

🔨 Pip continues to amaze me and her character development was so engaging. It was much needed. It was exactly how it should be considering everything that had happened in Little Kilton. I'm excited to see what the TV series will be like and whether it captures all the emotions I have as a reader. Highly recommend this series!

shiiiiit havde gemt det sidste kapitel fordi jeg troede, at det ville være super trist, men i stedet vendte jeg bare siden til den bedste slutning muligt

"As Good As Dead" by Holly Jackson concludes the series with unexpected twists that kept me hooked. Initially unsure of the direction in the beginning of the third book, the moment Pip realizes she has a stalker becomes a riveting turning point, making it impossible to put the book down.

The justice served in the story felt satisfying, a stark contrast to the shortcomings often seen in the real world. Pip, with her intelligence and courage, emerges as a likable and admirable character. Sweet Ravi adds charm to their dynamic duo, and their teamwork is truly enjoyable. The theme of friendships and found family throughout the series is heartwarming and adds depth to the narrative.

The ending, while confusing, doesn't diminish the overall enjoyment. The decision

to cut everyone out of Pip's life felt unnecessary given the lack of evidence against her.

Regardless, the book is a compelling read, and the series as a whole is a testament to Jackson's storytelling prowess. I look forward to Holly Jackson's future projects.

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.
