Hade lite svårt för början i black church, ÄLSKADE dock viben med black church och att hon blev skickad dit och att Will va där, allt så bra, men jag började egentligen gilla den först när Alex dök upp.  Som vanligt va flashbacksen bra. Fyfan va jag hatar Martin. Allt han gjorde mot Emmy när hon var yngre, blamear inte Will för att han misshandla honom bara synd att han åkte in för de men de va ju också fkn Martins fel när han hota Emmy att skriva på. 
Asså Wills och Emmys relation va den sjukaste bergochdalbanan jag upplevt, sometimes may be good sometimes may be shit liksom. Älskade deras typ arga love confession iaf när hon frågar om han vill gifta sig.  Så gulligt när alla lyckades gifta sig också hahah.

Asså Will i denna bocken va ju helt krossad typ?? SJUKASTE plot twisten att han skicka sig själv till black church och att han och hans farfar lurade Crist och han andra. Asså Wills trauma med vatten vid dehär laget är inte att leka med men så bra att han döda Martin och de gjorde de bättre att han gjorde de i vattnet och med sina händer. 
Grät också när Martin sköt Alex men de va tur att hon inte dog asså för hon är nog tio tre favoritkaraktär.

Tyckte om Damon och Emmys relation och sättet de bonda på. Även om de va genom att döda och begrava Damons mamma vilket ledde till att Damon såg Emmys blåmärken från Martin så han gav henne nyckeln till rummet i kyrkan, så va de deras sätt.

Skulle säga att första typ 8 timmarna i boken eller va de va under de 5 dagarna i black church inte de mest underhållande för mig. Gillade som sagt viben ändå men de va nått som saknades under den tiden. Därför blir det inte mer än 4,5.

The book was ruined because they spent too much time trying to round out the series (which they did not do well) rather than focusing on Will and Emory. Also the complete 180 with Alex and Aydin was ridiculous.

If you like miscommunication, toxic relationships, and hard to read abuse with very sweet flashbacks of falling in love: this ones a great book to read! 

This book was a good way to end the series, although this one personally was the “least realistic”. Will is hard to love for me, but the flashbacks were making me fall in love with him. Emory is very hard to love but for the wrong reasons for me.. she clearly is a victim in MANY ways, but I feel like she prolonged a lot of communication the entire book (NOT in the flashbacks though- that was reasonable given her situation). 

This book did have me fall in love with Damon even more, Kill Switch being my favorite of the series.
