I really enjoyed the set up of Davenport's new role and even though I miss the team from the BCA, I liked everyone I met here and hope we see some of them again.

But I hated the fact that once again the last couple of chapters were a gun fight 😞 and I  honestly wished his books would end differently

Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter
Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.

I officially give up on Romance YA. I just honestly don't care about High School life anymore so it wasn't appealing. Maybe if it was a movie or a TV Show I could take it but not a book

It started well but the last couple of chapters ruined it for me

In every book now, the last couple of chapters is an unnecessary gunfight. It ruined a great story for me
