Ahh this book was so good! The beginning was a bit strange but it fit. I love how the characters are so sarcastic and funny. This whole series kept me on edge. The writing is so unpredictable and I never expected anything. It was different and fresh and I absolutely loved it.

*Full review on the series to be posted to my blog*

A disappointing ending to the series. 

Feel like she slowly hinted at what was happening throughout the second book. Then in the last 150 pages just exposition vomitted. Ending felt rushed and I still don't fully understand how or what happened. Could have had more explanation and maybe even a fourth book or the three books could have been longer with more explanation. 

I wouldn't pick up the series she wrote from Noah's perspective.

Fue un final...Bueno.
En realidad estoy satisfecha y no. Me encantó el enlace con el primer libro y eso se lleva todos mis puntos. (MARA DYER NO ES MARA DYER. NO ME LO CREÍ AL PRINCIPIO PERO NO SE LLAMA ASI Lpm pero es genial tambien)
Con respecto a Mara y su relación con Shaw...Se que van a terminar juntos (o en mi mente ella decide que es más egoista que sensata) pero me molestó un poco que ella no hubiera tomado una desición aunque si se mostraba más por el lado de quedarse. (Mi lado inmaduro quería la confirmación, pero siempre digo que mientras menos nos den de una pareja literaria, más vamos a apegarnos y a querer pensar en todo momento llenando el vacio que los autores dejaron. Nos dieron mucho de esta pareja, pero su final nos lo dejó a nosotros o es como lo veo)
En fin, buen libro, me gusto bastante y me mantuvo enganchada.
Pd: Ahora voy a estar toda la semana pensando en cual sera el nombre real de todos los personajes. No me podes engañar de esa formaaaaa

Honestly I barely remember what happened in the books before this. It's been too long since Unbecoming (which I read when it first came out) and Evolution (which I also read when it first came out). I just...I was so confused man. I felt like I was being stuffed full of plot contrivances each time I opened the book and I couldn't help snorting every fifty pages or so and yelling "OH, BULLSHIT."

fffffffFUCK man I used to be really excited to find out what was happened but now I just feel like I got cheated.

Okay there's one reason it's 4 stars rather than 3 or 2, because I was close. Usually, this would be a reason I would chuck a book across the room and yell "BULLSHIT" again and that's CHANGING POV. I fucking hate it when authors change points of view if that hasn't been something they've been doing from the beginning, you know? BUT SHIT this changed my mind. Noah's POV brought fresh blood into the deoxygenated husk of what this idea used to be for the last third of the book and when I first saw we were going to be reading from his POV I did groan, but it made things much more exciting and fresh.

That alone would have brought it up to a solid 3, but what brought it to a 4 was the fact that they switching POV rapidly during the sex scene. Yes. That made my perverted self like this book (and LOVE that part). Deal with it, sex scenes are awesome when you get to read them from two points of view BOOM

This is the point at which I realize this will be posted on my Facebook and everyone will be able to see that paragraph up there. Oh well.

This last book was a gyp. I was hoping with the push that Michelle was spending more time on writing it, but nyehhhh it was honestly the worst of the three and it was a total downhill fall from the first book once being one of my favorite books to the second book being okay to this last book just...falling flat on its face instead of delivering what should have felt like genius, sharp punches with each plot point and rather shitting itself in the big reveal.

Sigh.
