Whilst yet another quick read with the writing style and retrospective POVs which I enjoy so much in this series - sadly this one just didn’t hit the mark with the others!

I feel like a lot of the plot points weren’t fleshed out nearly enough to make them impactful which just made the book fall quite flat:

the missing child, blackmailing Nico and Enzo being in the mafia. /

 I also felt like there were so many points which could of been delved into or had a shifted perspective to really be interesting

like having Enzo’s perspective when finding out about cleaning up the Penknife or finding out about Ada? Like we didn’t get any of this! Felt like a wasted opportunity when the book already has shifted POVs sections.

One of the things I love about this series is Millie’s character - but here she just feels so toned down and quite dull by comparison to the previous books. Whilst this does reflect an interesting development as she is now a mother and what not, it did make a slightly dull view point for the majority of the books. 

There were some really gripping moments and some plot points I didn’t see coming but I think it just didn’t live up to the other books in the series for me sadly!
