3 hours 27 minutes - I really did not expect to love this book so much. Both the previous books have been very good books, but nothing hugely special, but this one was amazing. I've never read a book quite like this. This was a much darker book than the previous two, and the stakes were raised, which made it far more tense and engaging. I don't say 'edge of my seat' very often, but this book truly did keep me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The direction the book took around half way through threw me off at first, but I think this provided the perfect conclusion to the trilogy.
Graphic: Murder, Death, Violence, and Stalking
Moderate: Blood, Drug use, and Sexual violence
Minor: Animal death and Vomit
