🔨 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!

The last book of this series took some rather dark turns. But I loved it all the same. The characters have changed a lot from the first book, but between all the darkness, you could always catch glimpses of the "old ones".
