I know I said the third book was my favorite, but I can’t leave my absolute favorite character—Brandon Eddison—in the dust. I was crying a lot in this book, especially because while we were saying goodbye to we were also, saying goodbye to our beloved FBI team. This book series has been genuinely amazing, and I am so upset for it to have come to an end. These characters and the found family, it is all so amazing and wholesome.

I knew when I finished this book it was gunna mess me up but I didn’t expect to be crying for 10 minutes… All these detectives have come so far, and I have read so many years of their lives. I kinda feel like I am losing friends because this series is over.
With all that being said, this book wasn’t my favorite, but I also don’t hate it. I feel like this book fell a little short for me. If I had to rank the books this would be my order. (Favorite to least favorite) Roses of may, Butterfly garden, vanishing season, summer children. Though I am kinda torn because I really liked the overall story of the butterfly garden better than vanishing season, I liked the character development and how the story progresses in the lives of the detectives.
I am happy we got most the detectives POVs throughout the books. I feel like it added a lot to the books.
The plot twist / end was interesting but I don’t know if all the buildup made it a little underwhelming or if I just thought it was underwhelming despite all the buildup.
By this book I was more invested in the detectives person lives than the actual mystery.
This is one of my favorite book series. I definitely recommend it.

Brooklyn tiene 8 años y ha desaparecido. La última vez que alguien la vio fue cuando iba de regreso a su casa. La agente Eliza Sterling y Brandon Eddison serán los encargados de investigar los detalles que envuelven a este crimen, ya que descubrirán que Brooklyn no es la primera niña de una serie de secuestros a lo largo de Estados Unidos y que Eliza es idéntica a la niña extraviada.
No leí los dos libros de en medio, solo el 1ro y este que es el último y debido a esto creo que se podría leer cada libro de la saga de manera individual, pero para comprender de dónde vienen ciertos personajes es importante leerla en conjunto, como también este libro nos habla de un secuestro y es un tema sensible para algunas personas.
Una vez dicho eso podemos continuar. Este libro está más centrado en el lado policiaco que “El jardín de las mariposas”, esto quiere decir que no vemos la perspectiva de la niña que es secuestrada y nos enfocamos más en como los detectives de la Unidad de Delitos Contra Menores tratan de resolver este caso. Sentí que este libro es algo lento en el proceso, pero me gustó mucho ver paso a paso de cómo van uniendo las pistas para darse cuenta de que este caso es mucho más grande e importante de lo que en un inicio ellos creyeron.
Sin duda es un libro que recomiendo ampliamente a todas las personas que disfrutan de series policiacas, porque es lo que nos da este libro un gran caso de investigación criminal.
