I read this a while ago and forgot to add it here. I'd say real rating is 2.5

I liked it well enough, but the ending came across as anticlimactically to me.

Omg this book made me want to cry ( I didn't though). The ending was so perfect. So incredibly cute. Like I actually teared up. I'm sad the series is over :'( anyways though, if I could give the book a 4.5 rating I would but alas I cannot. So a 4 it is. The beginning was a tad slow. I didn't really get into it until about 50 pages in. But otherwise fantastic book. The ending was a bit bittersweet with the whole "love triangle" issue but overall I was very happy with the ending. I probably would have been sad if she didn't end up with who she did. But all in all, A+ :)

P.S. I was ungodly excited when we saw Chloe and Derek!!!!!! So excited!!! I was like sitting on my bed bouncing up an down like an idiot trying to be quite cause it was like 1am :D

This book fit with the other 2 perfectly.
I hated that Maya got caught but glad she was able to get away with not only herself but some of the others.
I loved when they meet up with some of the Genesis characters I have missed Chloe and Derrick and that was fun to see them come together.
I didn’t suspect the doctor, I should have!
Loved the negotiations and getting their families back!
The narration was perfect!

I cant believe the Project Genesis kids came in at the end! My entire life is complete now.
Its nice to see a teen supernatural book written by a Canadian that is based in Canada :)
In general Kelly Armstrong is an amazing writer and one of my favorite authours!!!

I really enjoyed this series. It was super exciting to see Chloe and Derek again. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better ending. They are getting a shot at as much of a regular life as they could ask for and they have plans for the future. I wouldn't mind having their lives.

I'm just sad that it's ended. I would enjoy some short stories about their new lives. Maybe from different POVs. Maybe I'll write some fanfiction...
