3.5/5

I enjoyed this novel very much, I read it in two days, two!! That doesn't happen very often unless is a graphic novel or an audiobook, so this is a testament of how much I liked it.

I hadn't liked Mary before but now I understand her (I still don't like her). But I loved the parts with her. After all I read it for the revenge aspect of it. She was full of rage and that didn't let her see clearly.

Reeve's story came full circle, I still think he isn't a good guy but at least I felt sorry for him. He was a bully but he did suffer (I think all bullies do suffer), and I appreciate that we got his perspective, it was too little in my opinion but at least we got something. The characters were gray, like real people and they acted like the teenagers they are. I didn't like Lillia because of her indecision and her need to please everyone.

Spoiler

All of the sudden she likes Alex too?, Her great love for Reeve was brought up by grief over Rennie's? What? That's not true, that feeling was there before all that and the way it was constructed seemed real to me, that's why I didn't like them trying to blame it on Rennie's death.

Kat grew so much and I liked how her story wrapped up. I didn't like how Rennie's character was handled, she was a bully, selfish, vindictive and mostly not a good person.

Spoiler

She didn't deserve to die for that

, and all of the sudden everybody forgot her actions, even Kat. I didn't expect her to hate her

Spoiler

or be happy she died

, but I didn't understand her heartbreak, at least with that intensity.

Spoiler

I also think Rennie's closest friends forgot about her too soon. The were at parties and celebrating in less than a month. I don't understand that.

I still think the supernatural aspect could've been handled better. I consider myself to be an expert, I've been watching supernatural for twelve seasons after all!.

Spoiler

I chuckled when I saw them put salt in the window XD. I consider Mary to be a vengeful spirit and she acted accordingly, again, my knowledge comes from supernatural. I needed more information on the paranormal things happening. I wish we could've seen more of Mary 's aunt and her side of the story. I was sad that she will remain in the asylum since Mary's mother will never know the truth about Mary.

I gave it 3.5 because too many things were left hanging and I didn't like Lilia's arc.

Spoiler

The dog died.
They didn't explore anything about Mary killing Rennie.
Mary's aunt and mother, what happened to them?, her aunt is going to be at the asylum forever?
Why couldn't Lillia be with Reeve after all they've been through? I can understand that in the future the may not end up together, but right after the events of this book there wasn't anything keeping them apart, it doesn't makes sense.
I didn't like that Alex ended up with Lillia, to me she didn't deserve him.

Overall I liked it, it was fast and light. I give 3.5/5 stars to the trilogy. I recommend it.
