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.
Spoiler
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?Spoiler
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!
