Okay, so I was really enjoying it and felt the writing was better than the past two. I was all on board with the setting (no pun intended), the crimes, the love triangle ruse. However, once Audrey rose begins to think she has feelings for Mephisto and kisses him. I don’t know who that woman is. I wish she gave a more empowered love speech back to Thomas. Definitely wished for more Cresswell presence. I also felt the ending was a little off with him leaving like that and then coming back with all the love and she’s not even saying anything back, looking at him like :D
Anyways, I’m very intrigued in what the last book can hold.
