What an amazing conclusion to the Ghostmaker trilogy!
Like the first two books, author Krista Walsh takes us on a suspenseful, high-risk adventure with Jet, Gideon and Madison as they figure who they can trust in their efforts to take down the corrupt leaders in SMOAC - the ministry in the Canadian government for supernaturals.
In this book, we are taken 'beyond the wall' to where the Queen of the supernaturals holds court, to the underground labyrinth of Ottawa, to some more familiar locations in the city for those who live here IRL, and more. I literally LOL'd when I read the reference to the Rideau Street cave-in, because anyone living here at the time would know what a big deal that was for Ottawa.
Elements of the supernatural world and details oh-so-casually included in the first two books pay off in the third and this speaks to, in my opinion, the level of care and thoughtfulness that Walsh put into creating this world. There are also tidbits that to many readers, may read as a just casual descriptions but to public servants, they are like little tributes to the work we do. Also, the reference to Sir John A. Macdonald drinking...hahahahahaha
The ending of the book - and the trilogy - was extremely satisfying. It felt like all the loose ends were tied up and the MCs were ready to take the next steps in their lives. That said, I would absolutely love to read more books set in this universe!

I love this book. Since reading it for the first time in fall 2021, I've read it a few times since, knowing that I can flip open to the first page and escape into the world created by Samantha Young for a few hours and know I'll leave feeling the warm and fuzzies.
I felt that Evie is so relatable as a character and does what I think so many people wish they could do: just take off to another country and see what happens. As Evie settles into the village, the reader is there right along with her, sitting in front of the fireplace at the pub, having a pint, laughing with friends. I like that the romance with Roane was a drawn-out; it wasn't an insta-love story and Evie eased into it.
The author did a good job of planting little hints and clues that not all was as it seemed with Roane and it paid off in the end.
