Haha, what? Okay, so I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I felt things were going strong in the 2nd book and couldn’t wait to get to the third. I do feel like this one got a bit chaotic and there should have been another between the last book and this one. I feel like we jumped from zero to a billion and have a lot of questions.
What I enjoyed mostly about this particular installment is the humor…the humor that come from living in this day in age and seeing the absolute absurdity of some “influencers”. There were quite a few “oh I can totally see that” or “got ‘em” moments. As far as writing goes, I found myself genuinely impressed at how the POV transitions were clear before it was made obviously clear. The author does a fantastic job of changing narration tone and portraying the inner thoughts of differing characters without blatantly saying “hey, I’m X” and “I’m Y”.
While I liked the book in itself and as a wrap up to the series, it felt a bit rushed and chaotic. Sort of a “let’s wrap this up…but add some more nonsense and a dash of feel good” vibe. It does bring closure to the series, but I wanted more.
We caught enough of the characters in the previous installments to get the gist, but some of the developments could have used more elaboration. I have not yet read the prequel, perhaps that will round things out a bit more, but I definitely wish there was another between 2 and 3.
If you’re reading on Kindle, note that once it says “The End”, the review/ad page pops up…go back and keep reading.
What the sh*t with Kierra? I’m not sold on this redemption and how did she get in with Zach at all? Maybe I’m not the most forgiving person, but still.
I get that Dr. Harper identified and thwarted this whole trafficking operation, but I’m still lost as to how he’s suddenly a super investigator and his services are needed on the island.
I really wanted the asylum to come into play and create another installment, but was equally relieved, because we were getting so over the top that it sounded exhausting, like “seriously, what else are we going to cram into this?”.
Let’s be real though, I’m only mad because it was good enough to get me invested.
