This was a very interesting book. There was a lot twist and turns with this book. And I was excited to be able to read this book, to be able to follow the characters through a lot throughout this book and the previous two books. I was curious to see where the story would finish. I enjoyed the fact there was many twists and turns which made the story extremely interesting. With how the story developed was amazing, it surprised me in places as I hadn’t expected it. Especially with the ending of the story, it was something I hadn’t expected it. And I definitely enjoyed the story completely. And would love to read another book from this author as I would love to see what else she has to offer

This was a very interesting book. To a point I didn’t want to put it down. Following the main character through another investigation was very interesting. There was much that we had learned some much throughout following the investigation. With everything in which the main character had to go through became very intricate. I really enjoyed the writing style of this book. It allowed the story to flow amazingly. With everything in which the story brought out made me very intrigued. With the way that the story developed. And I was very surprised at the ending as I hadn’t expected it. And this has decently made me want to continue the series and read the next book.

Well, Well, Well. The blurb of this book definitely caught my eye. And even though it had definitely intrigued me, I was at first unsure whether I would enjoy the book. It did take me a couple of chapters before I really got involved within the story and really wanted to find out more of what was going on, and what would be happening. The more and more that I read I started to enjoy the book, and the writing style of this book became very interesting and something that I enjoyed to read. Martina and Nathan became very interesting characters, especially with how you meet them and with how they cross. The challenges in which they had to go through seemed to push them as characters and it definitely helped show their development. With the way that the story ended it definitely brought a lot to the story and made it feel complete.

This was a very interesting read from the start. The blurb definitely made me want to read this book. And with how the story developed with the multiple pov and the twits and turns that occurred was amazing. I didn’t want to put the book down. The characters themselves within this book had many challenges in which they had to face. With each chapter I read, I just wanted to be able to keep reading not wanting to put it down. This became a challenge within itself to try and find time to be able to read this, but that didn’t matter as this book was so good. I really enjoyed the authors writing style. With how this book ended I am fascinated to continue the series and read the next book

Well, this book was interesting. I still enjoyed being able to follow this characters throughout this book, especially with the multi pov with how the story was told. However this book has definitely surprised me as I definitley didn’t expect it. I didn’t want to put the book down as I wanted to see what was going to happen next. But it didn’t intrigue and gripped me as much as the first book did. I am intrigued to see what the next book has in stall.

This was a very interesting read. I was glad to pick up this book to continue following these characters. These characters were still even more gripping and interesting. I loved the storyline which we followed these characters with these characters. The storyline developed clearly and I didn’t want to stop reading the book. With the way the story developing with each chapter in which made me want to find out what happened next. The characters developed even further in this book, and they had to face many challenges. And with how the story developed and with the ending of the book I couldn’t believe the way it had ended. With this ending I definitely want to continue the series and read the next book.

Wow! I was first interested in this book after reading the blurb of this book had definitely made me intrigued and wanted to figure out or more like find out what was going to occur. And I am so glad that I have read this book and being able to follow Lyra through the many challenges that she had to face. With these challenges in which she had to face definitely developed as a character. And with this it brought a lot to the story. The writing style of this book I had really enjoyed. With everything in which happened within this book, I was completely intrigued and invested into the story. And especially with how the ending of this book occurred. I am excited to continue the series, and read the next book to be able to find out what would happen next.

It was the ending of the previous book, that had made me want to be able to pick up this book as soon as possible and I am so glad that I did. This book had definitely brought a lot to the series. I still loved the multiple pov, and the overall writing style which brought an amazing pacing to the book. The characters in this book still had so many challenges in which they had to face, and with everything that they had to go through kept their development coming. Malini and Priya are still two of my favourite characters from this series. There was events that occurred in this book that had completely shocked me as I hadn’t expected it. It was something about the whole ins and outs of this book, it really kept me glued to the story to a point I didn’t want to put it down. And I easily felt like the ending definitely made me very emotional because of the events of the book but also as this would be the last time following these characters.
