Due to the book being a rollercoaster and lots of things could be spoilers, I will keep this one short.

Ah, I loved this one, I am also sad that this series is now over, but also very happy with the ending.

Our main character Ali, she is even better in this book, you can see she grew and got stronger and better at things. I am also glad she wasn't constantly whining and crying for Cole. Sure, there were enough parts that had it, but it wasn't as much as the previous book.
Again, spoilers and all, but Ali will face new challenges and find a lot of stuff out about her family. Let's say, I had my suspicions, and I am happy to see that they came true. :)

Cole is still a great guy, but I hated his attitude again. Let's just say, I can imagine why he was acting like this, but I also hated him for it. You can't make your girlfriend pick between things like this.

Cole and Ali's relationship also goes up a notch and I really loved it.

Of course we have a big battle/war against the baddies and a lot of things happen. Let's just say I was sad to see certain events happening, but I was also kind of happy that the author didn't avoid these things. Some authors just can't kill or wound their characters, and I think it would have been weird if everyone would have been fine. So yay!

The ending of the book is wonderful and I loved the extras we got at the end of the book. Deleted scenes, some notes from characters and more. I really loved it!

All in all this is one series I would recommend to everyone. Zombies that are different, romance, love, death, twists and turns and more!

ANGST

I'm not one for teen angst, but Ali and Cole kill me with love drama. Can we get 10 pages of happiness?

This book is my favorite in the series, we learn more about Ali and why she is so special. The zombie story continues to evolve, making you want to keep coming back.

Ali can now heal the zombies - I can't wait for the next book.

Hopefully Frosty can heal and move forward.

I think she closed the series really well and am kinda pissed she's doing a fourth one now. Like just don't. Let their lives play out the way they say at the letter at the end and now more pain from them. More books equals more pain and I am not okay with that.

BEST BOOK OF THE TRILOGY!

Everything about this book was perfect and best yet? I stayed up until 2am to continue reading it, which I never do, unless the book is that good.

If you think Alice in Zombieland and Through the Zombie Glass is good then you've not experienced much with this series. Everything you loved in the first two is in book 3 but amped up even more!

Ik keek er al meer dan een maand naar uit om dit boek eindelijk te lezen. De eerste twee boeken waren zo ongelooflijk tof en ik kon niet wachten om te lezen hoe het af zou lopen. En ik werd op geen enkel moment in het verhaal teleurgesteld. Dit was alles waar ik op hoopte en nog veel veel meer dan dat!

Net als bij de andere twee boeken is er een proloog waar al wat informatie wordt vrijgegeven. Gaandeweg het boek kom je erachter wat er precies gebeurd is. Hierdoor grijpt het boek me meteen vast en blijven mijn ogen over de letters schieten. Ook de visioenen, de mini inkijkjes in de toekomst, bereiken dit effect en het werkt heel verslavend.

Dit derde deel is heel actiegericht. Er gebeurt ongelooflijk veel, maar Showalter heeft het talent om gevechtsscenes heel goed te schrijven. Ze zijn navolgbaar, snel en geven echt het gevoel alsof je er middenin staat. Haar schrijfstijl is sowieso erg vlot in dit boek, wellicht doordat Ali een heel fijn, herkenbaar en sympathiek karakter is met een hele prettige manier van praten, denken en vertellen.

Dit laatste boek was een waardige conclusie voor de serie (jaja, ik weet het, er is nog een vierde boek, maar toch), de losse eindjes worden mooi vastgeknoopt en op precies het juiste moment stopt het verhaal. Ik ben dan ook heel nieuwsgierig wat er in het vierde deel gaat gebeuren. Ik ga het ongetwijfeld binnenkort ontdekken!

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

This book was deliciously amazing! I cannot get enough of Cole and I officially consider him one of my fictional boyfriends in my bibliophile harem. It was awesome that Gena added another character who is so much like Cole in attitude and looks. Haha. I can't believe how many abilities the characters keep getting in this series. How many abilities do they need to vanquish zombies? I also can't believe how much I hated Camilla... But then that hatred goes away in the end and it's replaced with pity. I really hope everyone gets a happy ending in the fourth book.

What I Thought: OH MY LORDY. WHAT DID I JUST READ? Death. Zombies. Death. Betrayal. Death. Romance. Death. How could you do this to my feels Showalter? Right now, I'm in a puddle of tears.
This is the final book in the White Rabbit Chronicles trilogy. This is where it ends. It's either going to be Anima or Ali and her friends - and she is not going to let that happen. This is the fight to end all fights.

There is a new surprise in store - a woman that only Ali can see. Is she really trying to help or is she evil in disguise? You'll have to stay on your toes to figure it out. While you do that, you'll have to prepare yourself for some explosive secrets.

Now, I'm going to be honest - it's not going to be pretty. You are going to lose characters you love. So be prepared. But they aren't going to go down without a fight. There is a lot of action. There is typical Cole-Ali arguing/cold shouldering. There is hot and heavy Cole-Ali romance. This book seriously has it all. I absolutely loved it. I cried, I laughed, I cried some more.

Showalter delivers a epic conclusion to an amazing series, and it will stay with you. If you loved the first two books, you are going to love this one too. If you haven't read the others, then DO IT. You won't regret it, I promise!

The Good: Nothing was what I expected!

The Bad: That's it guys! No more Cole or Ali or any of the other crew :(

Rating: 5 stars
