Phew, this trilogy...

I have to say right off the bat, I absolutely despised almost every single character in this series. There was just one I liked and respected. However, I also found them all incredibly intriguing! It was like watching a suspenseful day-time soap; I just couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next.

My only slight complaint, and it's my common complaint, was that a lot of this seemed very repetitive to me. Unfortunately, that may just be because I read the three back to back, I'm not totally sure. Where there are so many characters and moving pieces, this could help remind readers of certain things, but for me it really bogged the stories down.

Book One: Eye For Eye
One of my favorite elements of book one, Eye For Eye, was how well our two main characters, Roy and Susie, planed things out. I was equally shocked and awed (readers of this trilogy will understand this comment- I just couldn't help myself!) by how they kept justifying what they were doing to themselves, even when their sense of right and wrong kicked in...

I also loved how the narrator broke in every now and again to make statements that reminded the reader that this didn’t all go as planned and that were really recounting their story at a later date.

My last note about book one is that it took me until page 272 to make a connection that had been there all along... and phew what a sudden realization that was! I can't believe I hadn't put it together sooner. It's not like it was even slightly hidden. Everything fell into place for me at that point.

And oh my god that epilogue... Talk about things falling into place! This really threw me for a loop, but it all made so much more sense!
