This was so good! I wasnโt a big fan of the second book, and even the beginning of this one wasnโt my favorite, but by the end everything tied together so nicely and I loved the ending! It saved the series for me! To see the boys and Avery so at peace was just wonderful.
There were so many twists and turns in this one, and I found myself getting a little annoyed to be honest, but I think they all wrapped up so nicely that they kind of made up for it unlike in book two.
I wish we could have gotten a little more Toby in this book, especially considering his ending and what we found out about him, but Iโm really hoping we get a prequel series, because I really want to read about him and Hannah.
Okay, so the romance. To be honest, I went into this book rooting for Grayson. I know, I know heโs kind of an asshole, but I really liked his character. This book kind of changed that for me. I still like his character, but not as much after some of the crap he pulled in this book. Now, I basically just feel bad for him. I donโt really care for the romance between Jameson and Avery and I kind of wish there wouldnโt have been any romance in these books (except for Nash and Libby) but itโs a YA so itโs to be expected.
Overall this book redeemed the series for me and I am glad I kept reading even though I was spoiled. The ending was honestly the best, I loved it!
Also, Xander has my heart. I love him. He deserves the world.
