As expected another excellent read by the unstoppable Elle McNicholl. I felt so many feelings for Ramya our undeterred and plucky heroine. Seriously a great end to a great little series. Would read anything she writes.

This book was great, but I think it needed more time spent with Marley, and to have the adults in the room tell Ramya things, so she doesn't go running off to put herself in danger every five minutes. Also, I think Elle McNicoll struggles a bit with juggling fantasy and contemporary in one book, which made things a little bit disjointed.
