Like so many, this was a most anticipated read of 2021 for me. I was so excited to see how Holly Jackson would conclude this for us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can feel the tension from the first page of this YA thriller. Pip is clearly suffering from the events of her last case, but there is still a mystery to solve. Who is taunting her and stalking her? And why? And is it linked to the case of the Duct Tape Killer and another miscarriage of justice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This book has everything we love: Pip, Ravi, Pip&#8217;s family and friends, and her usual determination. However, as much as I enjoyed reading this book, I am not sure if all of the action was &#8216;realistic&#8217; or true to the Pip we know. I realise that this is about Pip dealing with trauma and her own ideas about a miscarriage of justice, but I was just not completely convinced I could see some of the behaviour as true to her previous actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, don&#8217;t get me wrong, I loved the book and, like so many, I am sad that we have come to the end of Pip&#8217;s story. And I am definitely imagining the best future for her&#8230;and Ravi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holly Jackson has given us a wonderfully engaging YA trilogy, and I hope that we will hear more from her soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have been reunited with Pip for one final time as we reach the end of her trilogy.
