It's sad as hell when the last book was the least favorite book for me! While the tension of the chase remains well crafted, throughout the entire 8 book series, the way the ending was written felt rushed. Like, we could have developed or alluded heavily to the ending by developing the character's motivation, etc. I'm trying not to spoil anything here. Above all else, I just cannot stand Lola as a character. It is rare for me to actually dislike a book (in comparison to Nicci's previous books in the series) but man, Lola's character was annoying.

Especially because you're telling me all the police officers and Dean couldn't find her but this undergraduate could find Freida in a matter of a few interviews and readings? Man, even I cannot suspend that belief and I love ridiculous plots in fiction!

I still recommend reading the series! I still think it's worth your time because I already miss Freida Klein and her found family. I already miss Josef building random shit in her house, Chloe's unquestioning loyalty and love, Jack and his new love for cheese, Olivia and her melodramatic outburst, Karlsson and Yvette for believing in Freida when no one else did, and Rueben - oh! Rueben! This zealous cast of characters made the entire series a 4.5 stars read for me.
