Third and last book in this trilogy. I started this series with the first book during the #CBBC I enjoyed the first 2 books where the 2nd book was the best. This conclusion was okay, too repetitive, nothing new to add to the mystery. I don‘t think it was necessary. The author could concluded the story in the second book😕2.50/3⭐️

Mixed feelings with this book. In general, there were interesting parts and action but as I mentioned before, there are stories that can be concluded in one or two books. A third book turns sometimes to be repetitive with unnecessary details, dragging the story, at least for me 3⭐️

Gissy @Chrissyreadit I wish but sometimes there are good months where I have more time to read. Every time I see how many books I have unread plus the one I need (well want😂) in my shelves I say to myself...,read. But the reality is that I don‘t socialize much. I like to stay at home and I don‘t watch too much tv either🤷🏽‍♀️ 4w
Chrissyreadit i have a life time of unread books! All the same you it looks like you had a great reading adventure ❤️ 4w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3w
Gissy @Chrissyreadit Yes, it was a great month but not always is like that. It always depend what I have that month and the type of book I‘m reading. Nonfiction books take me longer time to finish them and I have a couple of big books that definitely it will take me more that a week to finish them. At the end what it really matters it to enjoy what we are reading even if it is only one book 📖 🤗❤️ 3w
Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 3w

This is a YA dark academia. It is about this prestigious school that “vows to turn boys into men”. They offer scholarships for disadvantaged students. But the school rules/discipline could be extreme and rigid. One day the principal was found murdered and there are three main suspects. I enjoyed this book because you will know these characters slowly so your impression about them will change like don‘t judge until you have all the facts. ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) I think this could be a good story for a movie adaptation for a YA audience. The author is a filmmaker. It discusses social topic like racism, stereotypes etc. Maybe the end and some scenes were “too easy” predictable but the story has a positive message. 3/3.5⭐️

Ok...I really tried to like this one. I thought I was enjoying it at first but then I quickly started disliking the characters. Melissa and Tara were annoying, Priya was somewhat likeable, and Suki...I simply didn't care for. However, it was an easy read.

mcctrish Melissa grew on me and I need more time with Priya having some backbone to change my opinion of her 🤷🏻‍♀️ Tara never redeemed herself and Suki was awol for too much of the story to care about 2mo

I finished this one today. #13 in the #DresdenFiles. It was kind of an emotional read for me. I worried that one of my fave #series would never be the same. And, it probably won‘t, but not in the way I was dreading. So, all is well enough at the end for me to want to keep reading, thank goodness. I ordered the next one in the series yesterday and will probably start it after this month‘s #LMPBC pick.

Unpopular opinion-I didn‘t like this one as much as I wanted. Too many coincidences in those twists, so convenient with a dramatic ending and almost happy ending😳
Love the premise but you see from the beginning that something is off🙄 3⭐️

Andrew65 I loved No Exit, but found the next one, Hairpin Bridge, wasn‘t as strong. 4mo
Gissy @Andrew65 This one has mix reviews. Some people really like it. I enjoyed some parts but it wasn‘t what I expected. Try it, you never know🤗 4mo
Andrew65 @Gissy I‘m sure I‘ll get to it at some point. 4mo
MaleficentBookDragon I don‘t care for it either. The “motivation” for the big bad was laughable to me. I couldn‘t buy it at all. And I found the book kind of boring for a thriller. 4mo

Good book- yes... most terrifying novel ever written- not so much. The ending fell flat for me. #13 #2023

Did a buddy read with my husband of the first Harry Potter book. This was a re-read for me but it was a first for him. We had so much fun reading each chapter to each other. My husband even did the voices while reading. I highly enjoyed revisiting Harry's beginnings and remembering Peeves. 4.5 ⭐️
