In the final instalment of the trilogy, we re-meet the crew one final time. People go missing, a new game is declared. Who’s behind it all? 

This book really comes full circle. But honestly the thriller aspects felt a bit much, which is saying something I guess after the first two as well. 🙊 I normally find if a trilogy drops for me at all, it’s often book 2, but this time it was book 3. Once again I didn’t fully see the end coming with the many twists and turns. The ending felt a bit overly dark as well in someways being a YA or maybe I just don’t have a proper grasp on what I used to read in the proper YA demographic.
