HolllllYYyyy shiiIIiitttt THAT ENDING!!!?!? This series is insanely addictive--largely due to Jazz's POV--and this book had me staying up until 5 a.m. desperately trying to finish that book. Once again, Lyga's skill for weaving such an unreliable narrator/one that's just on the brink of going over the edge has my heart pounding ... I could honestly feel Jazz's paranoia as he navigates through the pages, determined to hunt down his father once and for all. I also found Jazz's character arc to wrap up in a very satisfying manner! ALSO PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS!
