Once again, loving the plot. However, the ending leaves me confused for Silas’s book and somewhat not looking forward to it. While I wish to see Silas’s healing journey, a character driven book usually tends to make me snooze.

The copycat was predictable unfortunately, but the scene in the office was 10/10. I love a protective MMC. Thatcher is unhinged and perfect. 

Again though, skip all intimacy scenes… not worth reading.

Lyra+Thatcher <3

I really enjoyed being able to see their bond grow even more in this book. We actually got to see how Thatcher attempts to navigate these feelings for Lyra and THAT  was a ride on its own. 

Something that really hit me in the heart was Lyra's unwavering faith in Thatcher. I was amazed honestly. It didn't matter what he said, she just always believed in him and I think that was exactly what he needed in a partner. 

Overall, I loved reading their story. They were absolutely captivating and I couldn't get enough of them. They took me into their dark little world with them and now I don't think I want the bug girl or American psycho to let me go.

book 3 left me running to book 4 annnd again, i was NOT disappointed!! this series had me deeply invested, not only for the relationship buildings but the plot was so good. thatcher & lyra is definitely my top favorite couple out of the hollow boys series. thatcher & lyra was made for each other. already loving lyra as a supporting character, her story as a main character was just beautiful to read. so much angst packed throughout the book but they all deserve that happily ever after.

although there was some things i found sort of lacking was, information - such as what the heck happened after lyra’s little stunt jumping into the waters in book 3??? how did her friends react to her & thatcher being together given they knew her obsession with him?? or thatcher coming clean to the boys? what part does easton play into the sex trafficking, or is he just a pawn delivering threat notes?

nonetheless i devoured this entire series within a week & i cannot wait for silas & caroline’s story in october! definitely one of my favorite reads this year!
