What the f*ck?!
I still hoped for her and Grayson until 20 to the end. We were robbed.

For me, the first book is still the best, followed by this one. I just feel like, the ending was a bit rushed. It would've been interesting to see, how the characters were doing after the mystery had been solved. We only got superficial information, but nothing coming from the characters. Especially with Grayson, I would've liked to know. 
Well I guess that it makes sense to
not suddenly switch brothers, but I really wanted them to end up together. It's often like that when there are two guys. In the first two books everything's fine, they're cool. As soon as you reach the third book one of them gets dropped. I think there was so much wasted potential in Grayson's character. Not even when talking about him and Avery as a couple, but solely him. He went through so much, and I feel like that was just brushed over.
