After book 2, I wasn't sure I wanted to continue reading, but my friend convinced me to get to at least book 3. I'm glad stuck to it. This was a wonderful ending to the first 2 books. The time jumps throughout kept me on my toes and I felt the characters were more in-depth than in book 2. 
I don't think I'll read the next book, though. I like where this finished.

Many books with time jumps and skips etc are near impossible to follow, however, this is done so well within Checkmate. The characters progress so well throughout the book and the way in which the character development is shown is great.
