Oh I was so excited for this, so excited when I started but I just feel…let down. It felt like that entire story could have been a small 50 page section of another book or some kind of intro…just nothing happened! It felt like the start of something not a full story. I kept reading and reading, turning the page expecting something exciting to happen and it just didn’t.
The ending too, don’t even get me started, it was like reading a whole bunch of nothing for no pay off at all, there was just nothing to it! The ending annoyed me so much, no real conclusion (don’t get me wrong I usually love a cliffhanger), no explanation, just meh. I really hope someone got some enjoyment out of this book, I really do because the writing is great, just there’s no substance!
I’ll give it 2* because the idea was there, there was so much that could have been done that just wasn’t! Ahhh I wanted more! The premise is just so good ugh.
This just fell so flat for me, it had so much potential but my god…

Oh I had so much fun with this! I read the entire thing in a day I was enjoying it far too much!
For a YA mystery it kept me on the edge of my seat, the actual mystery part was so good, the build up, the revel…all great!! I really enjoyed how different it was to the typical mystery too, how often do you raise your best friend from the dead to solve a murder??
The ending was so bitter sweet but it wrapped up so nice and neatly, it was really satisfying!

Mannnnnn I’m so sad this is over!! I’m gonna miss the boys and penny so much! I tried to drag this book out like I did for the 2nd one as I just did not want it to end and be over. I adore this series a lot and I’ll probably give it a few re reads over the years, it’s just so good!! I loved this just so much idk what else to say, I love Shepard ugh, I loved the plot of this one and Simon and Baz getting a happy endinggg! (I could have done with a snowbaz wedding but I’m sure I’ll cope :’)).
If the author ever decides to write more from this universe I really wouldn’t complain if there was a Penny spin off with all her antics, that I would love to see!!

This was EXACTLY what I needed right now!! Honestly it hit every point for me, the characters were great, the story was so good, and the references spoke to my heart!
I honestly loved every minute of this book, I haven’t read a book in a good few months and this has absolutely kick-started my love of reading again ahhhh.
I may be biased for adoring this book so much as it IS about my favourite supernatural AND the MC’s are from Yorkshire like me but I had sooooo much fun reading this!! AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE RIDE THE LAST 40 OR SO PAGES WAS OMG! AMAZING!

I honestly don’t know how to feel about this book at all, it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t amazing so 3 seems about right.
I liked the characters, well Elizabeth sometimes and mostly just liked Justine and Mary but still. Victor was truly insufferable. Elizabeth was good at times but oh my god girl u blind!! She really just tuned out all of the bad stuff for like 80% of the book it was just u g h. Still it was written really beautifully I liked the writing style a lot and it was easy to get though so at least it adds to my challenge :’). I was disappointed though, idk I was expecting this book to be more than it was and it just didn’t really deliver.

As seems to be the trend with these books I keep reading them all in one sitting! I really loved this as always!
I love how so much action is packed into 300 pages, Cass and Jacob are still amazing and I lovedddd the plot of this one! Praying for a 4th book Cos I can’t let go of these character just yet I want moreeee *crosses fingers*

This was so so interesting!! I love Caitlin Doughty's humour and writing is just so wonderful and this was such a joy to read! I'm gonna end up lending this to a few people just because the facts and questions are so good and the illustrations in here are so cool!!
I know some people said the answers and the book itself are a bit simplistic but I think it worked really well since it is questions from children, plus it made it really quick to read!

As always with Christina Henry’s books this was so eerie and wonderful!! I really loved this story and the lore in it, it was really spooky and interesting I enjoyed seeing it unfold! Only giving it 4* though because I feel like a little more time could have been spent resolving the ending than what was given to it, 40 pages to wrap up a 500 page book? Seems a little bit rushed to me but I still really liked it!!
I started this right after I finished the first book and ended up putting it down to finish some other things in December but I finally picked this back up on Jan 29th and I just finished it today omfg! (I didn’t get far last year so I really did consume this whole thing in a few days, again)
I absolutely adore the writing, the world building and just how bloody magical these books are!! The characters are so well written and the world is just so wonderful I really really hope that ending is still hinting at more to come, a new series in the world or something in the future, I really
Hope!
Like book 1 though I did have a little issue with pacing at times but that may again just be because of the speed I read it, the plot though was so so well done I just loved how it all came together. I honestly really love duologies the more of them I read! No more middle book lul!!
Anyway I’m hoping to read more Laini Taylor in the future! I hope her other series is just as wonderful as this!

I can’t lie I was disappointed when I picked this up and realised it wasn’t about Kaye! This ones about a girl called Val...who honestly I thought was just...boring, I didn’t like her or really connect with any of the characters in the book.
Tbf this whole story was kind of just boring compared to the first one. It was enjoyable enough to get through but idk it was just slow and boring and not really all that exciting. The excessive drug use for most of the book wasn’t exactly great content either tbh...
Hmmm 2.5 I’d say, just cos it kept me interested just enough to read the whole thing and I do like fae so I liked those elements at least
