4.5

As always, I really enjoyed this book. It’s probably my second favorite out of the whole series, and definitely was the hardest to wrap my head around, but I loved it nonetheless. Jennifer Lynn Barnes perfectly wrapped up the series in this book, and I loved seeing everything gradually get resolved, and questions get answered, particularly about Cassie and Lia’s lives (plus Michael was extra unhinged). Overall, I’m so glad I read this series and I couldn’t have asked for a better final book.
