love this one

totally got me in the Christmas mood while also being entertained. I honestly decorated my house while listening to this one. I always love me some emma or ava!

Great story

This was a great story in that peoples lies were destroyed, but the investigative team were able to provide them with closure and therefore bringing Folks back from a depressing state. I’d like the way this one ended. I’m still hoping that Ava’s mom is not killed because this is gonna suck.

Did not enjoy

I wasn’t familiar with the series, but this was a very slow, predictable story. The main event took 29 chapters to happen. The immediate assumption, which I thought was intended to throw the reader off, end up being true after 60 chapters.
