Holy shit this is such a good series. Potential spoilers - trying to keep it as spoiler free as possible while gently brushing over what happens in the first 2 books.

Pippa Fitz-Amobi is crumbling, she’s been through too much trauma and it’s overtaking her. She’s found out the truth about Andie Bell’s murder, she has uncovered the mystery behind the disappearance of Jamie Reynolds, and she has witnessed a murder. Pip has blood on her hands and a gun in her heart. She’s not herself, she feels a completely different person to that happy-go-lucky girl she was before she started the Andie Bell case. Not only that, she’s now got a stalker who’s threatening to kill her. Pip’s struggles can only be saved by one person. One last case, save herself to save herself.

Holly Jackson has written an amazing YA thriller series. While I guessed the plot twist of who the stalker was but had NO IDEA WHERE IT WAS GOING IN PART 2! Awesome. Such a fast-paced and wickedly twisted thrill-ride of emotions and chaos. Each book is so interconnected and it all comes down to this final one.
