The Murder Crew is back! And so is an old foe. What will happen when old wounds are reopened?
This was my favorite of all three books. It was the least predictable. I didn't see who was behind everything right away. I also liked the message of the book. That toxic boys who are never punished become toxic men, who think they can get away with anything, and sometimes can and do.
There were still a few predictable parts, so I didn't give it 5 stars, plus, it just wasn't a 5-star read to me.
The narrators were excellent and really brought the story to life. I'd give them 4.75 stars.
