I'M SORRY??? THATS HOW IT ENDS?? AND I HAVE TO WAIT WHO KNOWS HOW LONG TO FIND OUT THE REST?? YOU CANT BE SERIOUS. MY MIND IS BLOWN. YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT IS THE LAST SENTENCE OF THIS BOOK?? I WAS CONVINCED THAT IT WOULDN'T BE A CLIFFHANGER BECAUSE UNLIKE TRULY DEVIOUS SHE HAD A THEORY BY THE END. WHAT IS GOING ON.

this was ok. it wasn't Truly Devious level good. I just didn't get that vibe. It wasn't as delightfully atmospheric as the previous books. I didn't feel as connected to the characters either. However I was still really intrigued to see what happened. I didn't want to put it down whenever I picked it up. I literally can't believe that's how it ended. This is going to drive me insane. Also there was not nearly enough Nate in this book. And the reveal of who the murderer was wasn't very satisfying and the motive
especially for Samantha
made literally no sense
