Overall I really enjoyed this series more than I thought I would after finishing the first book. I feel like the 2nd and 3rd installments really gave me that more that i was looking for and didn't get from the 1st (more complexity to the characters, more complexity to the games they were playing, deeper reasoning and motive behind the mysteries, etc). In my head these 3 books really just do feel like 1 book/story in my mind. As a standalone this 3rd installment finally gave me the answers I was craving but the road to get there did get a little bumpy at times (some stuff a little forced, some a little contrived). But overall happy with this read! It was a fun ride.
