So much has happen in the last book of a good girls guide to murder series . The author is brilliant the way she explained more about the character of why Andie did what she did. She was trying to draw attention cause her father Jason Bell was DT Killer along. I didn’t like that Pip had to ran away from her friends and family and hid cause she was the one who killed Jason Bell. She had no contact with any of them. She wanted to admitted so bad but Ravi wouldn’t let her . I love their relationship it’s so cute, but at least in the last page after 1 year she finally contacted Ravi cause she came back for Connecticut vs Max Hasting.

it’s an exciting ending and the ironic title of the book series. I loved so much it got out of my reading slump. The book was quite interesting . I didn’t want put it down.

Pip! This book felt like a different person entirely. She was frustrating, unrealistic, and thought she was untouchable. The “mystery” was short, and very obvious. Not at all what I had hoped for for the series finale.

This was quite the finale for such a gripping series! I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole thing. Pip was in such a rough spot at the start of the book (and continued to stay in this rough spot throughout the novel); I just wanted her to be free of it all, but I suppose *this* was the best way for her to process her pain while utilizing her skill set. After the second book, I was wondering how Holly Jackson was going to up the excitement factor, and she delivered in some unexpected ways! I was practically screaming at Pip's decisions during several key scenes in the book. I don't want to spoil too much in this review, but Pip's skills were pushed to their limits to carry out justice and solve a few remaining mysteries left in the town.  The ending almost devastated me, but the final page secured me some remaining threads of hope. 

Thoroughly enjoyed this series and getting to know Pip and the other characters along the way.

It is really good and i enjoyed it but it got a little boring at times where it was always talking about the trauma she endured in «good girl, bad blood» with stanley and the gun triggers
