Another winner from Kristoff, and a thrilling finale to the Lifelike series. I'm never going to rate a Kristoff book badly, because he just doesn't seem capable of writing bad books. I loved the focus on Lemon - who is my favourite character - and that Cricket breaks the mould and gets his happy ending (well, sort of).
I did feel that the ending was a bit rushed, however, and that things wrapped up a bit too neatly. I mean, Evie commits mass murder? And the whole other cast of characters talks about how changed she is, and how there's no possible way things can get back to how they were before - and then things just do. While I'm glad she got her happy ending - and Ezekiel too, I loved him - I thought it was all a bit neat. I wish Evie had done a little more work before things came together, but I loved that it ended with her and Lemon reconciling. They both deserved it.
