I really liked this story. I enjoyed the fact Frances journal from she was a teen is read alongside the present story. It gave interesting flash backs and clues which foreshadowed the present story conclusion but in a way that did not make it too easily predicted which was nice.

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first trilogy set. It felt a little different I think because Darrows character seems to shift. It was also a slower start to get into the actual action compared to the earlier books. But this is more of a builder book I would say to set the scene for the next direction on from the ending of the first trilogy

I didn’t not enjoy this but I wouldn’t say it was good. It was also not the best writing and the plot was kind of lacking.
