I absolutely loved this series. I will say that this one didn't work quite as well for me as did The Fixer. That may in part be due to the fact that Fixer was such a lovely breath of fresh air for me, whereas I went into this book with pretty high expectations. Nonetheless, the extreme nature of the plot got to be a little much at times to the point where I was rolling my eyes. I think that may just be part of the genre, and, to the book's credit, much like in my beloved Jane the Virgin, even though the characters might be put in truly absurd situations, their reactions to those situations felt (largely) genuine. There were some real twists that were juicy and interesting, particularly with how they impacted the character's relationships. I LOVED the family development in this one (I'm so obsessed with her grandfather). I'm absolutely gutted that this series won't continue.
