*************************************************************************
A well thought out plot that's not as fast moving I'd say as the other two in the series but still keeps you gripped.
All the characters certainly peak in this one. Plus the new characters that are introduced are instantly lovable.
The only bad point I can say about this book is all the hype around it once it was released. I don't know if it's just me but seeing all the emotional videos & stuff I was expecting big things for the ending. For as much as the book is brilliant with a brilliant ending it never left me in floods of tears, though I did shed one or two at certain points.
On the other hand this is a story full of brilliant characters with awesome & original plot playing out with some fantastic scenes. Not going to post spoilers but if you've read it then all I'm going to say is the first dinner party on the Bloody Maid had me howling with laughter. Then Mia and her passengers tearing your heart out before rebuilding it slowly.
If you like your books to take you to the edge of all your emotions then this book & series is one to look out for. It's a shame it had to end but at the same time it fits perfectly the way it ended a very poignant message for all to think about. Want to know what the moral of the story is then go read it lol.
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
