This was very anticlimactic end to a  a four book series. I’m lucky that I only really waited a few months between reading books 1, 2 &3 and the release of book 4 (started this series late July 2023, a few months before book 4 came out). I’m sure those who had to wait over a year between book 3 & book 4 were disappointed by this

Free Me felt like it was mostly just sex and unnecessary chatter that having any proactiveness to catch Mr. X/make a plan.
Sheriff McAllister, Cassey  Gabe and whatsherface’s deaths
felt shoe horned for the sake of it and
the defeat of Mr X
was just… Meh. Even the after math felt rushed, Would have been compelling to see how Isabelle & Ethan processed what happened and their friendship with Shiloh and the Boys following the events. Additionally, what happened following
Sheriff McAllister and Cassy, Gabe and whatsherface’s death?
How did that mess get cleaned up? Shilohs face was essentially connected to them when they went missing so what happened after? It kind just was glosses over.

This would have been better as a trilogy series or even a duology, four books was not necessary when things just dragged.
