Well, this is it. After 3 books, I'm officially giving up on this series. The chemistry between Jack and Ellery is non-existent - especially because of how flat, monotone and rude Jack is written. He's honestly just an ass. The mysteries have not been compelling, nor cozy. Ellery's knack for getting into trouble is not charming at all.
