I was always on the edge of my seat. I wanted to hug Pip the whole time. I was so scared for her.

An okay ending to an average series. I LOVED the first one, second was meh, & this one was also meh. The middle act was definitely the best part & I’m happy

Pip & Ravi got away with it. Max deserved to be behind bars

I was so annoyed at Pippa to start with. I found her quite whingy throughout.. Ravi is the best part.. as always!

My fav book of the series, it jumped right up to my top favs.
This book was such a roller coaster of emotions. I even ended up crying in the middle.

Wow. Just… Wow. The best book I’ve read this year. By far. Oh my god, I can’t stop crying. Have I ever read a book that’s made me feel more in quality and quantity???

4.0

As Good As Dead felt a lot darker and more intense than the previous books. 

I don’t think it’s my favorite out of the trilogy, but I thought the ending was a decent conclusion.

The text message at the end…. Ahhhhhh. I think it was a clever way to end the book
