An excellent ending to this trilogy. All three books analyze a different part of the slasher formula, book 1 being the final girl, book 2 the slasher and their motivations. Now this one analyzes the endings. At one point it's mentioned that slashers are conservative in genre in that the goal is often to return to how it was in the beginning. That is what a lot of this book is in conversation with, is this really the only ending?
The other strength of this book is Jade's voice, as always. The downside is potentially how little is added to the world and story, this truly wraps up the last two books, doesn't contribute much that's new
