4.0
For me, this conclusion to the Nikki Kill series was better than the first but not as good as the second. The reason? My favorite, favorite, FAVORITE thing about this series has always been Detective Chris Martinez. Nikki is a great character, sure, but she was always creeping on the line between "sassy and badass" and "childish and selfish and annoying." Chris never had that problem, IMO. He was that kind of constant, lovable character that keeps you reading.
Now, I don't know if this is a spoiler or not so don't read on if you haven't read the second book yet.
Chris loses his freaking memory.
Yes, he gets amnesia. *sighs*
Mind you, even though this highly annoyed me, I still give this book 4 stars because the concept is so different and cool from anything I've read in this genre. And the conclusion was satisfying, but I just really wish there were more satisfying moments BEFORE the last 10 pages, you get my drift? Nevertheless, I did really enjoy this trilogy and will fondly remember the late nights spent completely enveloped in these unique mysteries.
