This book will fool you into thinking that you're in for one final exciting mystery, and to be fair, it does take you on that ride for a bit...before it smacks you in the face with a twist you don't see coming. Thrilling in all the ways possible: good and bad. And I won't say much but I LOVED how everything came full circle in this series, it was tied together perfectly. Bittersweet ending, but very hopeful and and satsfying in some way. This book was an absolute rollercoaster that made me want to throw up multiple times, but damn, I enjoyed the hell out of it.

most intense book in this brilliant series
But:I think the plot was predictable 😅Still a 5⭐️ read tho 
The way Ravi only took 3!!!! Minutes to text her is so cute!They‘re definetly made for each other and I was sooo scared for her the whole time.
If she doesn‘t get in prison they‘re definetly gonna stay together!
Thanks Holly
