Wowwww…Just Wowwwww

First off, I was apprehensive about starting this third book because the second book moved a little too slow for me but wow was this the complete opposite. So many twists and turns…Pip turning into a murderer! Are you kidding me!! 

I’m thankful that Pip and Hawkins worked to find a way to free Billy. I would have been quite upset if Pip had just left him in jail without releasing the evidence she had. 

I will say that I also wish Pip would have just kept going into the woods and not went back to finish the job on Jacob. I feel like it was too much back and forth on whether she should turn herself in after the fact. And maybe they did plant a little too much evidence on Max, almost to the point where it was unbelievable. I won’t say what they did to Max was right but I understand their reasonings. 

Pip cutting herself from her entire family and her friends was a huge leap but from the looks of it, Ravi did end up waiting for her after almost two years. I would have liked a little more closure though for the ending. 

This author definitely saved the best for last. This was a great book!
