Let me start this review by stating that I am absolutely in LOVE with this series, I impatiently wait each new installment like I did as a teenager awaiting the new Harry Potter book. If you are into murder mystery, give this series a try! A page turner from the first sentence!
FBI Agent Mercedes Ramirez is the focal character in this book instead of the normal male agent, Victor. I love the fact that we got to see more of Mercedes who had sparked my interest as a strong female role since book 1, The Butterfly Garden. Ramirez shines exactly how I pictured her to be, a strong woman but also very aware of her weaknesses and what she can do to change those weaknesses into strength. As I mentioned before, Victor, one of the male leads, falls into the background of the story as the women take the lead in this installment. This also proves true for new female FBI agent, Sterling; I personally can not wait to get to know more about this character in the next installment.
The Summer Children jumps right into the action when three children show up at Ramirez’s front door covered in blood, clutching a brown teddy bear. The children claim that the Angel killed their parents and brought them to her because she would keep them safe. However, it does not stop there, more children are dropped at her door, all bloodied and clutching a teddy bear, all claiming that the angel killed their parents to keep them safe. Mercedes is forced to confront her past in order to solve the case, but will confronting her own personal demons prove to be too much for her and jeopardize not only her life but the lives of innocent children?

I am glad we finally get to hear more about Mercedes’ background in book #3. I do recommend reading them in order and not as a stand alone as it builds the characters’ stories and I feel that makes it more enjoyable.

Last few chapters where not needed and could have been summed up in a page or two. Overall not a bad book

Después de casi dos años de haber leído los dos primeros libros, me armé de valor y empecé este. No me arrepiento en lo absoluto y le agradezco a Dios haber tenido la oportunidad de conocer a Dot Hutchison como autora y que sus libros hayan influenciado tanto en mí. Este libro llegó a mi corazón y aunque no terminé tan afectada como con el primero, por supuesto, el último capítulo me hizo llorar como desquiciada. Amo tanto al equipo de Quantico, y a las chicas. Posiblemente me tomará otro tiempo acabar con el último libro de esta saga, pero valdrá la pena siempre poner mi salud mental y saber cuándo será el tiempo para leerlo.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Having read the first 2 books in this trilogy, I was dying to read the third and it was spectacular! It far surpassed my expectations.
The first book was dark, the second one not so much and this one was really dark to the point of being disturbing. The subject matter was not easy to read at times but the book was written so well. I practically devoured it and couldn't put it down at all. I think it would be better to read the series in order and not start with this one, it will give some insight into the characters.
I really enjoyed it and how the series was wrapped up. I only wish there were more books after this one. I hope the author writes another series soon.
