While I never would have expected Teagan would get addicted to meth , this was another fast paced story and he did a great job of setting up for the final book. Considering at this point, we know there is only one more book, it was still a really good isolated story as well as propelling the narrative. It was great to get Reggie's perspective and I'm excited to see how this series ends.

Not me loving this series so much that I'm starting to get emotionally attached to the writing style. It's comfortable, fun, predictable, and wonderful.
As the author very clearly states on his website (see here), this series is not intended to be a YA series, as the topics it covers are difficult.
This third book I do have some things to say:
Book is non-stop action for the most part, with chapters focusing on character development. Reggie was focused on most in this book.
The author's ability to use mental models we already know and then guide the reader is genuinely impressive beyond belief. It's like I am IN the book with Teagan, fighting bad guys.
Trigger warnings:
If you or someone you know struggles with meth addiction, this book is probably not for you. While the author's intention is to cover the topic of addiction in an empathetic way and discuss a difficult topic with the reader, know that meth is brought up a lot. It is brought up respectfully in my opinion and done really well, but this book is not for you if you've struggled with that and avoid that topic in books.

The plot of this book kind of repeats the previous novels. Teagan meets another super, gets in trouble, disaster strikes, drama between her and people around her, she saves the day and then small insight into the overarching plot is given. I also wish the characters had more dimension and would grow out of their original relationship with each other. They seem to make progress, but then by the end all the characters revert to how they were in the very beginning. Otherwise, the storyline was enjoyable and the overarching plot of the School keeps me interested enough to continue the series.

What the heck did I just read?! It was an insane rollercoaster of crazy sh*t that seemed to go all over LA.
The ZigZag man…. No, thank you. Put him in the f**k it bucket.
The ending… WHAT!?!? I can’t believe Jackson ended it like that.
I love these books, the series is written so well and done so creatively. Good pop culture and nerdy references, it’s drenched in rap and Hip Hop, which isn’t my thing but it’s good to read something outside my normal wheelhouse.
The Frost Files are worth your time and money.
