Ruined a Good thing!

This series has been one of my favorite series so far. The story began in a unique way, and it setup a plot I was looking forward to Pip uncovering. It was going to be epic, but then part 3. No spoilers here, but the character arch taken almost ruins the series. I think I waited fifteen chapters hoping it was a dream that the character would wake up from. Unfortunately, that never happened.

That escalated quickly

That escalated quickly and was filled with turmoil and angst. A smart and twisty end to the series.

Disappointed

I was excited when I begin this because of how much I enjoyed the previous 2. I have to say that the drama that was sought after and craved made for a less believable and far more annoying story line. I considered stopping more than once but I wanted to believe there was something to help recover from my disappointment. The natural flow from the first two books was sorely lacking in this in my opinion.

A mixed bag

I really enjoyed the first two books, and when starting this one appreciated Pip's mental state hadn't just miraculously rebounded after the end of the second one. Bailey Carr does a great job narrating these, for sure, and for the first half of this one I was pretty into it, though irritated at Pip because the answer to the case was VERY obvious but she was wrong af until she found out. Then the second half of the book... I like that it went a different direction, but it all seemed just so unnecessary. It also felt somewhat out of character, even if the book explains why her reaction was the way it was. I don't know, the back half of this one didn't work for me, plot-wise. BUT the writing itself in that back half was excellent. I felt incredibly tense the whole time while listening.

She does it again!

Loved the whole series, seriously if you need something to get you out of a reading slump, any of the books in this series will do it for you!!
