WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY!!
I so fucking love this trilogy! I can't even! I'm dying to see this trilogy as a movies, they really really need to do that or I might kill my self. kidding XD but I'd love to see it as a movie for sure.
I liked everything about this trilogy, even the annoying parts. There should be more books not just three!

I don't typically read YA fiction, but I make an exception for Kelley Armstrong. This series is so rich and nuanced and interesting that I don't even realize it's a YA novel. If you're already a fan of reading supernatural fiction, you'll like this. I can't wait for the next one to come out!

I was really happy with how the book ended but I was also unsatisfied because it felt like this story deserved more than 3 books. I also felt like I was really connected to the characters, especially to Derek and Chloe. They were just really likable characters. I just think the ending was great but it came too quickly with not enough details about some of the characters ( i.e. Rae and Liz).

With this last book I finally finished this incredibly unremarkable series.
It was good enough that I felt the need to finish it, but I feel that in just a couple months I won't remember anything about the plot.
It was just al so jumbled together, with so many plot twists It twisted all the way back to the first assumption. "Ahhah this person is actually evil! No wait they're actually goog! No they ARE evil, only these guys are more evil!!". I feel like this book was so rushed as well. All the three books take place in two weeks in universe, leaving the pacing very weird. 3 books of slow-burn only to stumble into the relationship headfirst. I really think that the author wanted to write more books, but either gave up or wasn't allowed by her publisher. The book ends with a very definit "this story isnt over just yet" but the story IS over. There are no more books in this serie. Only spin-offs, but as far as I can tell those don't actually develop the plot further but are only introspects on other characters.
The reason I even read these books were Chleo and Derek. I thought their whole mutually disdainful to really moving friendship was so good. I was excited for the moving into lovers part but they didn't have time to really develop because the book only had 100 pages left to resolve like 80 plot threads. There has to be a limit to how many times a couple can get a interrupted near-kiss right?
Anyway, I finished. But am I glad I did? Mehdhhhhhggggg

This series was great. I was a little disappointed that it ended as a trilogy, but it was fun overall.

Nu vreau să mint dar volumul acesta m-a cam lăsat cu un gust amar.

Aventura lui Chloe și a prietenilor săi continuă și în acest volum, unele adevăruri iasă la iveală și înfruntăm niște personaje negative. Până aici totul bine și frumos.

Avem scenele horror cu care suntem obișnuiți și misterul în plină creștere, lucru pe care l-am apreciat de asemenea.

Nu pot să nu specific și relația dintre personaje care insfarsit ne-a oferit ceea ce ne doream cu toții. Cel puțin ce mi-am dorit eu.

Însă, toate aceste aspecte pozitive nu au salvat cartea. Acțiunea rămâne în aer, sunt o mulțime de întrebări la care nu am primit răspunsuri și eroii noștrii supranaturali preferați ajung la final de trilogie exact de unde au pornit doar că sub un alt format
